It is Sunday and man do I have a challenging Sunday Request!

@sullybaseball MT jtomase: Sergio Romo is out as Giants closer. If you’re GM Brian Sabean, don’t you at least think about inquiring on Koji?

Should the Giants do it?

Should the Red Sox pursue it?

It is a tougher decision than you would think when you consider how quickly closers flame out!

I take on the challenge on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is opening day!

That’s one of the happiest days of the year for any fan of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Of course this being opening day, the Dodgers already have three games in the books. On today’s episode, I come up with another Opening Day concept.

It could be a great idea based on one of the WORST ideas MLB ever had: The Baseball Network.

Giants… use Romo as the closer

The Giants have many talented relievers to fill Brian Wilson’s shoes as he will probably miss the rest of the season with elbow surgery. Santiago Castilla and Javier Lopez could get a shot to replace him.

But Sergio Romo needs to be the closer for at least the next few weeks.
He has a great strikeout per nine inning rate and you need someone who can strike out a batter to pitch the close innings.

Plus he doesn’t walk many. But that’s not why I think he should close.

He’s got a beard and a screw loose. And Giant fans need a closer with a beard and a screw loose. At least for a few minutes while they get used to a year without Wilson coming out of the pen.
