All-Star Rosters 2023

[mauidano]

They should make this broadcast team eat the grasshoppers while they're there.

They’re actually pretty crunchy and good.

 

[Ale Xander]

Kenley getting the 9th over the Mountain is insane

 

[derekson]

Kenley getting the 9th over the Mountain is insane

Indeed.

 

[joe dokes]

I miss Rose plowing into Fosse to destroy his career back in 1970. The good old days.

Pete Rose, the Altamont of the All-star game

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

JRod destroying neighborhoods with bombs

 

[derekson]

Kenley getting the 9th over the Mountain is insane

The mountain seems to be channeling Kenley here

 

[Remagellan]

They’re actually pretty crunchy and good.

Aren't they chili lime?

 

[joe dokes]

JRod destroying neighborhoods with bombs

He should play for the Phillies.

 

[Ale Xander]

Elias Diaz, another guy I don’t know

 

[Remagellan]

This ump's zone has been terrible.

 

[Ale Xander]

The mountain seems to be channeling Kenley here

Or Mitch Williams

 

[Ale Xander]

Holy fuck
Schmo does it

 

[Remagellan]

Elias Diaz, another guy I don’t know

Thankfully he's wearing a uniform that lets you know which team he plays on.

 

[derekson]

The 32 year old catcher hits the 2 run bomb. Just amazing

 

[staz]

Elias Diaz, another guy I don’t know

"Say my name!"

 

[Ale Xander]

The mountain seems to be channeling Kenley here

The mountain has been climbed

 

[Remagellan]

Or Mitch Williams

Prophetic.

 

[joe dokes]

Elias Diaz, another guy I don’t know

Me either. Or his team, since the hats are almost generic, too.

 

[strek1]

Pretty sure Kenley is going to be the goat of this game.

I think somebody beat him to it.

 

[Looch]

That takes a lot of the pressure off Kenley, which works for me. Who cares who wins this thing as long as it doesn’t mess with our guy.

 

[jmcc5400]

Does this cost the Sox home field in the WS, or has that been done away with?

 

[joe dokes]

I think somebody beat him to it.

Let Kenley have top9 so he can get the win

 

[Brand Name]

First ASG homer to put a team ahead in the 8th or later by a trailing team since Hank Blalock in 2003.

 

[mauidano]

Aren't they chili lime?

Spicy; I believe that’s it!

 

[derekson]

That takes a lot of the pressure off Kenley, which works for me. Who cares who wins this thing as long as it doesn’t mess with our guy.

It might mess with Bautista's head and ruin the Orioles' season too!

[Remagellan]

I would have someone warming, because no closer should throw more than 25-30 pitches in this game.

 

[simplicio]

Bautista looks pretty bad.

 

[Ale Xander]

It might mess with Bautista's head and ruin the Orioles' season too!

Vladdy ruining his swing
Randy ruining his swing
Judge injured
Bautista’s head messed with

I like our divisional chances

 

[Looch]

Elias Sports Bureau

That was pivotal!

 

[joe dokes]

"Smith," in a generic "National" uni with the "N" hat is like some kinda game where the developer didn't want to pay licensing fees.

 

[derekson]

28 pitch inning and gave up the lead in the ASG. I hope he isn't permanently messed up but if he blows some games for the Orioles after the break I won't cry about it.

 

[LogansDad]

Kenley for 4 outs? What could go wrong?

 

[Brand Name]

Elias Sports Bureau

Those guys are FANTASTIC to work with. Seriously. Wizards out there. Kind folks too. They have access to some crazy stuff that I have no idea how to research on my own, by my own coding or otherwise through various research tools.

 

[derekson]

Vladdy ruining his swing
Randy ruining his swing
Judge injured
Bautista’s head messed with

I like our divisional chances

It really does make you feel more optimistic doesn't it?

 

[chrisfont9]

The White Sox will still be able to host the WS

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Vladdy ruining his swing
Randy ruining his swing
Judge injured
Bautista’s head messed with

I like our divisional chances

Don’t forget Romano left with an injury.

 

[derekson]

Kenley for 4 outs? What could go wrong?

I don't think Dusty would pitch Kenley through an inning break in the ASG. Probably the best situation for the Sox and he gets 1 out and done.

 

[staz]

Is that Orlando .769 OPS Arcia in the ASG?

 

[derekson]

Don’t forget Romano left with an injury.

Damn I did forget about that!

 

[LogansDad]

The best part is that Mariners fans were PISSED last week when Baltimore tweeted about Bautista winning RP of the Month calling him the "New King Felix".

I can't watch, but I imagine he is hearing it.

 

[Looch]

First ASG homer to put a team ahead in the 8th or later by a trailing team since Hank Blalock in 2003.

That was pivotal not only to that baseball season but the trajectory of mankind.

 

[derekson]

Is that Orlando .769 OPS Arcia in the ASG?

Elias Díaz of the 763 OPS is on track for ASG MVP

 

[Remagellan]

First ASG homer to put a team ahead in the 8th or later by a trailing team since Hank Blalock in 2003.

Dusty Baker was managing the opposing team in that ASG as well.

 

[chrisfont9]

Not asking you to do the work, but there has to be a story behind an Edgar Martinez CS in 1997. In an ASG.

Btw--Just for giggles, everyone should look at Edgar's b-ref page.

Like 27 bWAR after his 35th birthday. He HAD to get in before Papi.

 

[simplicio]

Got heeem

 

[derekson]

Nice job Kenley. Now sit down and let's see someone else in the game.

edit: Castillo and Lopez are still in the bullpen

 

[staz]

Uno Dos Adios

 

[Remagellan]

Kenley for 4 outs? What could go wrong?

My hope is that's all we see of Kenley.
