Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - July 29, 2013

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, we look at the last place defending World Champion San Francisco Giants.

So many things that broke well in 2010 and 2012 are breaking the other way this year, such is the pendulum that is baseball.

 It is the Sunday Request on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast!

@sullybaseball You're team/pitcher, throwing a No-hitter. I just witness my first one, with Bailey's no-hitter.
— Richie Devotie (@mrbaseballman) July 14, 2013

So what are my thoughts of seeing MY (the Red Sox) throw no hitters?
And I share a recording of my dad and I listening to the end of the Lincecum no hitter.


AJ Griffin, Didi Gregorius, Lonnie Chisenhall and I suppose Tim Lincecum  all owned baseball on July 13, 2013.

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for July 13, 2013)

Look at that! A no hitter by someone other than Homer Bailey!

Tim Lincecum has done a lot in his relatively young career. But now he can add "no hitter" to a resume that includes "2 Cy Young Awards", "World Series clincher" and "best pitcher who looks like he is 10 years old."

Is this a turning point for the Giants?
Who knows?

But what I do know... it is time to update my list!

You are still on the clock, San Diego

Today's episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast begins in Italian.
Why?
Because the wonderful Italian MLB Podcast Nel Nome del Gioco, gave me a nice notice and I am saying Grazie to the hosts Marco Barbanera and Pietro Striano.

As for San Francisco Giants fans... you are forbidden to watch today's game. The team has been too cruel to you.

Alex Rios, James Shields, Wily Peralta and Marlon Byrd all owned baseball on July 8, 2013.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - July 9, 2013

This photo is a picture of my dad, reacting to the Giants' miserable offense and defense during the gut wrenching 16 inning loss to the Mets last night.

How did the defending World Champs get to the point where they are 8 games under .500 approaching mid July? A little bit of arrogance was a factor.

I discuss that on today's episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for July 2, 2013)

Last season had a flurry of no hitters, ending with Homer Bailey's gem that eliminated the Pirates from contention.

This season has been filled with one near miss after another, including close calls from Yu Darvish and Anibal Sanchez.

When would the first no hitter of 2013 be thrown? 

I guess only Homer Bailey is allowed to throw no-nos now.

He threw a gem with only one walk against the punchless Giants and joined the likes of Roy Halladay and Mark Buehrle as a pitcher with multiple no hitters.

Here is the updated list.

THE MOST RECENT NO HITTERS

CINCINNATI REDS

Homer Bailey - July 2, 2013.

The Padres are still looking for their first one. And it would be nice to simplify the list with the Nationals having a no hitter instead of including the Expos and Senators.

When will the NEXT no hitter be thrown?
Well when is Homer Bailey next scheduled to pitch?
