This is Episode Number 700 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast
Baseball can adapt not only to the digital age but learn the lessons that the movie industry eventually learned about home video.
Jose Bautista, Chris Coghlan, Dallas Keuchel, Andrew Cashner, Edinson Volquez, Adrian Gonzalez and Brian Dozier all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball?

I didn’t even get a chance to write a Dodged Bullet – Teeth Grinder for yesterday and the A’s lost a crusher today.
A 3-0 crusher.
Freddy Gavlis (???) hit a 2 run, 2 out, 2 strike 7th inning homer and that was all the Phillies needed.
The A’s loaded the bases against the rotten Jerome Williams and couldn’t score in the second. Once again a mediocre pitcher looks like a Cy Young contender (7 innings of shutout ball)
Oddly Williams has beaten the A’s 3 times this season, each time while playing for a different team. Evidently he also did so with the Astros and the Rangers this year.
If Adam Dunn wasn’t as slow as a glacier, he might have been able to score from second on a single, but hey. He is not here for his legs.
So one step forward in the wonderful Friday night win, and one step back with this crappy outcome.
I guess I should update the Dodged Bullet/Teeth Grinder tally.
An explanation of what this is all about can be found HERE.
GIANTS DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
A 9th inning rally fell short with the tying run on third as the Padres held on to win, 3-2. TEETH GRINDER
56 Dodged Bullets 50 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: +6
A’S DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
Another day, another shutout. Freddy Galvis launched a 2 run homer in the 7th and that was all the dreadful Phillies would need to win, 3-0 in Oakland. TEETH GRINDER
53 Dodged Bullets 57 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: -4
RED SOX DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
David Ortiz’s homer put the Red Sox up 2 runs before the Orioles came to bat. Adam Jones’ two homers made sure the Orioles had 7 unanswered runs for the 7-2 loss. TEETH GRINDER
Dodged Bullets 64 Teeth Grinders 76
TOTAL: -12
The dodged bullets by the Red Sox and A’s from yesterday are included in this tally.
