Bud Selig is out and Rob Manfred is in as commissioner of baseball.
What is Bud Selig’s legacy?
What should Rob Manfred’s focus be on?
And how do I tie it into the VHS release of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It all makes sense on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, Dustin Pedroia, Adeiny Hechavarria, Josh Reddick, Ryan Ludwich and Eric Stults all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball?

The A’s don’t want to face the Tigers again. They are bad news for Oakland.
They were in 2006, 2012 and 2013. Face someone else.
The Kansas City Royals, who have not participated in playoff ball since the 1985 World Series, have stormed their way to the top of the AL Central. And by the way they played the A’s, maybe Oakland would rather play the Tigers again.
The A’s looked like they were going to get a win today and a split series, thanks in part to a sun aided triple by Josh Reddick. But a 5 run outburst in the 7th by the Royals was the difference, 7-3.
The Royals are a streaky team. Maybe the A’s caught them on an uptick. Maybe they won’t be so tough in October.
Time to update the Dodged Bullet/Teeth Grinder tally.
An explanation of what this is all about can be found HERE.

The Giants and Phillies match up tomorrow. If this were 2010, it would be a great match up.
