All-Star Rosters 2023

[derekson]

Tucker walks. J-Rod homers.

Halfway there..... you got any of the Powerball numbers?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Tucker walks. J-Rod homers.

Oh boy

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Kimbrell is still Kimbrell, huh?

 

[Remagellan]

baseball has been really lucky with these situations this year. (Thinking of Ohtani versus Trout to end the WBC.)

 

[Ale Xander]

Middle middle

 

[derekson]

That's a rough take J-Rod

 

[Ale Xander]

Anyone left to pinch run for Tucker?

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Good ol’ Kimbrell.

 

[simplicio]

It's not the full Kimbrel experience till it's 25 pitches with a couple walks.

 

[chrisfont9]

Now I have PTSD

 

[derekson]

I want to see the extra innings

 

[ifmanis5]

Kimbrell is still Kimbrell, huh?

We've definitely been on this ride before.

 

[canderson]

I’ve seen this movie.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Win it for Sad Sam Jones, Jose.

 

[Remagellan]

Half expected the ump to ring him up there with how all over the place his zone has been.

 

[Ale Xander]

Kimbrel is hanging by a string

I sense a double byJRAM

 

[budcrew08]

Kimbrel traveling back in time to 2018

 

[Remagellan]

It's got to be a double with J-Rod scoring from first, right?

 

[mikeot]

Now I have PTSD

Oh yeah

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

This is a good match up.

 

[Ale Xander]

Bring Sale or Price in?

 

[Ale Xander]

2 true outcomes

 

[derekson]

Ah the classic Kimbrel ahead with 2 strikes and missing the zone

 

[derekson]

Hell of an ASG

 

[LogansDad]

FFFFFFFFFFFail

 

[ifmanis5]

2012 was a long time ago.

 

[Remagellan]

Well, that was exciting!

 

[shawnrbu]

The Streak is over.

 

[budcrew08]

Kimbrel with the 30-pitch save, very 2018.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

That inning was so Kimbrel

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Good to let the junior varsity take one every decade.

 

[Remagellan]

2012 was a long time ago.

Wasn't that the year the world was supposed to end?

 

[chrisfont9]

Kimbrel gonna Kimbrel

 

[jmcc5400]

Obviously, the AL needed more Red Sox.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The Streak is over.

Thank you, Shemar Moore

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

It’s kind of amazing that Kimbrel is an all time great reliever, but might be the Sox 4th best championship winning closer. At least the one I was least comfortable with in the moment.

No Trout, no Judge, No Devers No Altuve No Robert

 

[budcrew08]

Diaz definitely the MVP, right?

 

[budcrew08]

No Trout, no Judge, No Devers No Altuve No Robert

Too many Texas Rangers

 

[derekson]

Diaz definitely the MVP, right?

Have to assume so and he is the most random player getting into an ASG I can recall seeing. To get in the game in a big moment much less to deliver that way. An OPS+ of 96 and 32 years old.

Technically, he was "the closer", but he didn't close it out. Not even Cora trusted him at that point.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Rodriguez letting that 1-1 pitch go by was the moment.

 

[derekson]

Center cut at 94. At his home park too.

True. I guess if we rank comfort level of the four modern day closers through that season, how would you go?

Koji would definitely be first for me, Kimbrel last. Having a hard time choosing between Foulke and Papelbon.

Papelbon was first for me. He was just nails in 2007.

[E5 Yaz]

Now ... the two most boring days of the season

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I couldn‘t name 5 ASG MVPs, I don’t think. Other than the most recent one. Vlad. But then it is quickly forgotten.

Pedro. Lynn, as an Angel. Yaz.

Then there are several I think won it, but I’m not sure. Mays. Maybe Ichiro. Prolly Ripken. It’s a weird award. Clemens? I don’t really care unless a Red Sox wins it.

 

[Ale Xander]

Now ... the two most boring days of the season

Not an ESPYS fan?
lol

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Now ... the two most boring days of the season

Amen. Frankly, I was bored by the last two. Worst week of the summer!
