Sully Baseball Podcast – Cooler Adrian Gonzalez and Media Bias for Cy Youngs – September 22, 2017

There are at least 4 and maybe as many as 7 managerial openings in baseball at Bad things happen to teams when Adrian Gonzalez is on the active roster. Not saying he is the cause. Just making an observation.

Meanwhile Ken Gura ( @kengura463inCLE on Twitter ) has some thoughts on media bias.

Agreed! But, I think the biased media will vote otherwise. Comes down to CLE or Boston

Sorry buddy but facts might not back that up.

Pondering the hard questions on this episode of Sully Baseball.
