Yoan Moncada is with the Red Sox! I have never seen him play. I don’t know what he looks like. I am not sure I am pronouncing his name correctly. And I don’t care. I love that he is on the Boston Red Sox

Plus thoughts on the Oscars AWFUL in memoriam video and how I will do better for next year’s All Star Game.

That and more on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Here is last year’s In Memoriam video from the All Star Game.

It is Oscar Sunday. And while I talk a little bit about the Oscars, I will focus on THE SUNDAY REQUEST

@sullybaseball What do you think of the rule changes announced on Friday? ⚾️

The new rules will help. But there are some other ways to speed up the game.

Find out my thoughts on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

 

The Sully Baseball Official Oscar Picks!

Deadline – Oscars.com

It is a tradition here at Sully Baseball. In fact it is an obsession. I am an Oscar addict and it is time to make my picks. In a decent year for movies, there are a bunch of good pictures to choose from for tomorrow’s show. But if Eddie Redmayne wins for The Theory of Everything over Michael Keaton in Birdman, I will be furious.

So here they are… my official picks. These are the films I THINK will win, not necessarily what I WANT to win.

Picture – Boyhood
Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Birdman
Actor – Michael Keaton, Birdman
Actress – Julianne Moore, Still Alice
Supporting Actor – J. K. Simmons, Whiplash
Supporting Actress – Patricia Arquette, Boyhood
Adapted Screenplay – The Imitation Game
Original Screenplay – The Grand Budapest Hotel

Animated Feature – Big Hero 6
Foreign Language Film – Ida
Cinematography – Birdman
Costume Design – The Grand Budapest Hotel
Film Editing – Boyhood
Make Up – The Grand Budapest Hotel
Original Score – The Theory of Everything
Original Song – Selma (Glory)
Production Design – The Grand Budapest Hotel
Sound Editing – American Sniper
Sound Mixing – American Sniper
Visual Effects – Interstellar

Animated Short – The Dam Keeper
Documentary Feature – Citizen Four
Documentary Short – Joanna
Live Action Short – The Phone Call

 

Let the record show I am hoping The Grand Budapest Hotel and Whiplash win a lot. But Birdman or Boyhood winning would not upset me. (Selma deserved more love as well.)

OK, enjoy the show and on Monday, there will be more baseball talk.
