All-Star Rosters 2023

[E5 Yaz]

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

Ah, former SoSH poster Hank Blalock

 

[LogansDad]

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.

Are you sure? Lopez last pitched on the 5th and Castillo on the 7th. I imagine their teams want them starting their first games back.

(I can't watch, so do not know if either are warming up)

 

[Ale Xander]

Interviewing the pitcher in the 8th up 1?

this is dumb

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

And that homerun Blalock hit was off Eric Gagne.

Throwing day for either.

They could still throw an inning and start in two days.

 

[Ale Xander]

Holy fuck Riley

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Beast

 

[derekson]

Holy shit Riley is amazing, 2nd GG play he's made today.

 

[Remagellan]

That was a sweet play.

 

[Bergs]

What a play!

 

[staz]

Helluva scoop by Vladdy Alonso.

 

[derekson]

Lopez is in! Perfect appearance for Kenley

 

[Remagellan]

Lopez is in! Perfect appearance for Kenley

Yes, urge to kill fading...

 

[derekson]

This ump is objectively hot trash

 

[Ale Xander]

Smoltz is smoking some serious crack

 

[LogansDad]

Lopez is in! Perfect appearance for Kenley

Sometimes I am happy that I am mostly wrong all the time

 

[Looch]

Lopez is in! Perfect appearance for Kenley

And good night.

 

[derekson]

Sometimes I am happy that I am mostly wrong all the time

It's alright, I was going to make fun of Thomson for PHing Diaz as the DH before he hit the 2 run homer.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Kimbrel time.

 

[staz]

duh

 

[Ale Xander]

Franco finally gets an AB

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I know it was impossible given the timing of his callup but feels like no Elly here was a huge miss.

 

[Remagellan]

Kimbrel is closing. This isn't over yet...

 

[joe dokes]

Kimbrel. And I'm not on the floor in the fetal position. How refreshing.

 

[derekson]

Kimbrel? Really?

 

[Remagellan]

I know it was impossible given the timing of his callup but feels like no Elly here was a huge miss.

100%.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I get it, the idea was for Kenley and Kimbrell to have the 9th since they both hit 400 saves

 

[simplicio]

Does Kimbrel still have a breaking ball?

 

[Remagellan]

I get it, the idea was for Kenley and Kimbrell to have the 9th since they both hit 400 saves

That makes sense.

 

[derekson]

Smith did catch Kimbrel with the Dodgers, right? Maybe he knows the secret sauce to make him not suck

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Who are the pitchers if this gets to a HR derby ending?

 

[Remagellan]

Who are the pitchers if this gets to a HR derby ending?

I would hope some batting coach.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Wander is killing Kimbrel here. AL going to score

 

[Ale Xander]

Truped

 

[shawnrbu]

Smith did catch Kimbrel with the Dodgers, right? Maybe he knows the secret sauce to make him not suck

Kimbrel has 57 K’s in 37 IP this season.

 

[ifmanis5]

Trupe much?

 

[canderson]

Truped

 

[Ale Xander]

Hr derby tiebreaker? What?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Truped

 

[Remagellan]

Seriously.

 

[Ale Xander]

Damn, that’s peak Kimbrel

 

[staz]

Vlad is killing this team.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Kimbrel making my stupid prediction even stupider!

 

[derekson]

Kimbrel has 57 K’s in 37 IP this season.

He doesn't have high 90s but his breaking ball looks amazing and even at 95 the FB looks good

edit: It wouldn't shock me if Kimbrel recovers to have more years left but he's just so inconsistent

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Tucker walks. J-Rod homers.

 

[staz]

Tucker's going bridge here.

 

[Ale Xander]

Here we go

 

[joe dokes]

Who are the pitchers if this gets to a HR derby ending?

Rupert Murdoch and Rob Manfred

 

[Fishercat]

Hr derby tiebreaker? What?

A tie in the ASG goes to a modified home run derby instead of extras, which is why we all need to root for one run here.
