Giancarlo Stanton will get his hits. Don't worry about him. Yankee fans should be concerned about their pitching depth for this season.

Meanwhile the Reds were right to fire Bryan Price but they should have done it nearly 2 years ago.

Double headers are going to cause havoc on the pennant race. Some games are actually big ones in April and the Reds need to take a long look at their managerial situation.

I have talked so many times about my dislike of beanball wars I decided to take a new tactic. Today, I SANG about it.

I recorded before and after the Red Sox - Yankees game to show how the narrative regarding fights is always retroactively written.

The Red Sox and Yankees rivalry is renewed and we have never seen them quite like this. Both teams have won recently. Both teams have new casts. And NEITHER team is favored to win the AL Pennant!

Several teams have come out of the gate strong, winning games and making an early statement. The Giants are winning games without Bumgarner, the Mets and Pirates are creating a nice foundation and the Red Sox have won a week's worth of games in a row.

The crazy 13 inning looney fest Pittsburgh Detroit opener today reminded me of Flash Gordon for a lot of good and bad reasons.

Plus it made me realize I was dead right about ties in baseball.

DIIIIIVVVVVVVE into this episode of Sully Baseball.

My wife joined me to watch the Mariners and Indians game...and we discussed parrots, one flap down home run trots, the sexiness of Ichiro, the concept of ugly sexy and the worst calls of Brent Musberger.

From Homer Field and Willie Mays Ballpark in Atherton, California, I welcome in opening day 2018 and make my official and inevitably awful predictions.
