Locked On MLB - Daily Podcast On Major League Baseball explores all things baseball. Walk-off home runs, great pitching performances, pennant races—the podcast is here for all of it. The show covers it all with a comic, passionate, and smart perspective.
Writer and comedian Paul Francis "Sully" Sullivan hosts Locked On MLB. Before doing this show, he hosted the Sully Baseball podcast. Sully's more than a little obsessed with baseball. He even delayed the first dance at his wedding reception until the end of the Red Sox playoff game happening at the same time. The game went into extra innings.
The host has written on baseball for USA Today, Bleacher Report, and Baseball Digest. His original videos have appeared on NBC Sports, Yahoo! Sports, and Deadspin. In addition, Sully has performed standup comedy throughout the US. He's even guested on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Sully also appeared in the HBO documentary Curse of the Bambino.
The host's unique, funny perspective makes the podcast more than straight news. When Sully covered the MLB draft in 2023, he said to beware of MLB draft classes that end in three. The Phillies gave general manager Dave Dombrowski an extension. Sully argued it was time to get rid of the stigma of buying a championship.
Sometimes Sully focuses on one MLB team with a Locked On podcast host for that team. Teams featured include the Cubs, Cardinals, Yankees, and Diamondbacks. No matter who the guest is, the conversations are friendly and fun.
In the offseason, Locked on MLB may have a baseball history episode. The show has celebrated the anniversary of the Peter Seitz decision. Seitz's ruling resulted in free agency. In another episode, Sully went over postseason MVPs the voters got wrong. During the holiday season, Sully has a baseball Christmas wish list. For those who don't celebrate Christmas, it's Happy Rickey Henderson's Birthday.
The host often refers to himself as "your pal Sully." Listeners may think of him as a friend once they listen to Locked On MLB - Daily Podcast On Major League Baseball. New episodes debut nearly every day.
