On April 21, 2013, I praised Daniel Nava’s dramatic homer after the Marathon Bombing ceremonies.
Then I wondered if Don Mattingly’s job was in danger.
Enjoy this Podcast Rewind
On today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I ask if Don Mattingly’s job as Dodger manager is in danger? Should it be?
Lance Lynn, Bryce Harper, Hiroki Kuroda and yes Daniel Nava owned baseball on April 20, 2013.

The Red Sox just keep winning. I’m still not convinced they are winning a Division or Wild Card this year, but man it is fun seeing them win.
One refrain I kept hearing from Sox fans was “wait until everyone is healthy.”
Well the Red Sox are far from healthy. But when the likes of Daniel Nava, Franklin Morales, Cody Ross and Aaron Cook are kicking this much butt, maybe their injured players should spend more time in the trainers room.
What Red Sox fan would rather hear the dreaded words “Now pitching, John Lackey” instead of giving Aaron Cook another shot. Cook pitched an 81 pitch masterpiece today. I think Clay Buchholz averaged 81 pitches an inning.
THIS Red Sox team is fun and has guys who aren’t cashing the big checks and breaking down.
If Carl Crawford comes back, does that send Daniel Nava and his .902 OPS to the bench?
Or maybe Cody Ross and HIS .915 OPS will get cobwebs while Crawford cashes a check.
I don’t think so.
Come on Sox. Play the players who are actually winning games and appease the fans. We all know Crawford and Lackey are making a lot of money. Doesn’t mean you have to play them!
