A shame for Stripling. Cinderella year for him, and he got through the 9th fine. Had to come out for another inning when I'm sure he thought it was over, then gave up a couple bombs.

Hinch is doing his boy Cora a solid. And maybe putting more miles on the arm of a future Yankee.

Some members of Josh Hader’s family, wearing his All-Star replica jersey, have taken them off and been given generic jerseys without his name on the back.
All-Star pitchers giving up eleven home runs in a game...that says something about today's game.
Agreed but the game is going to be overshadowed by Hader's Tweets. And MLB was worried about the Machado trade obscuring the game.
Timing sure was interesting. Somebody was really looking for maximum impact waiting until he was in the spotlight before outing him.
Well if a Sox player couldn't win the car I'm glad it was an unexpected person.
And nice that he gives it to his Mom

First time the AL has led the ASG in total wins since 1964. And from 1933 through 64, the AL led in total wins.

Did they vote on it between the 2 Stros HR's? Wasn't even the GWRBI
Segura's 3 run shot should have been for MVP.

I think you need to also say it was only 8-6 and 13 of the 14 runs scored on those 10 homers, plus throw in 25 Ks between the two teams in ten innings, you don’t get much more all or nothing than that.

Do these players not have agents? And do agencies not go through players’ old social media posts and scrub them clean? It should be de rigeur by now
His agent should have still gone through all that and made him delete the old tweets.
If the agent can’t do it themselves then surely there are services out there for this already?
Where an agent can just supply a name, Facebook/Twitter/insta account details and that service does a quick scan for cheap, or a deep scan for $$ on what can be seen publicly and could blow up.
I would have thought it would be maybe a three figure single outlay to avoid this exact situation and possibly cost your client millions.
Not doing so seems negligent to me.
10 Hrs, 25Ks, and announcers who want to talk about everything but the play of the game. That’s modern baseball.
It was a really weird game to be at. It was long, but not endless, but it get endless because I got there at 630. The hr and I thing, was taken to the extreme. The middle innings were painfully dull, but the first two And last three were pretty fun.
