Raffy!

Judge has as much personality as toothpaste.

Thanks. I found it on Fubo. Picture looks pretty good but is absolutely dark. Also the sound is trash.

I have YouTubeTV as well and the local Fox affiliate is not broadcasting in 4k. With Fubo it’s an entirely different channel.

 

[Ale Xander]

DEVERAGE!!!

Send him, oh cmon

 

[shawnrbu]

Judge would have had it.

Still more than trout

 

[strek1]

That's our Raffy!

 

[Ale Xander]

From the shitty production out of ESPN for the HR Derby, the break in tradition with the unis, to conversations with hitters while they're hitting, to whatever other crap will be presented in the next couple of hours, the 2021 All Star Game has been a fiasco. MLB wants to know what's wrong with the game? THIS SHIT is what's wrong with the game. They're incredibly blessed to have such amazing young talent, they don't need to force and over promote this.

It’s like the lights are not on.

I’ll echo others in pointing out that these uniforms are hideous, particularly the AL navy color rush, and that seeing all the different team unis on the field was a big part of the appeal of watching this game growing up. The National League wore special uniforms for the first AS game in 1933. Those were cool; these are just embarrassing, like they were designed in PowerPoint.

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

Does anyone else hear that beeping sound in the background? Sounds like an early 2000's nokia ring over and over again.

 

[strek1]

Hey Raffy didn't try to go to third. Hope he stays that smart on the bases.

But more Joe!

 

[YTF]

Not wishing in on anyone, but how will it be framed when Freeman gets skulled with a line drive because his attention was somewhere other than on the hitter.

 

[strek1]

Obviously Freddie was a good choice to wear the mic.

 

[Ale Xander]

2nd best choice.

Best choice was no one.

 

[Beomoose]

I think it's someone's hideously expensive camera snapping away.

 

[shawnrbu]

Glad Pedro wasn’t wearing navy on navy in 99.

 

[loshjott]

Obviously Freddie was a good choice to wear the mic.

He’s having fun with it.

 

[shawnrbu]

Freddie called that DP off the bat.

 

[Gorton Fisherman]

Are they going to keep yammering at Freeman while he bats?

 

[edoug]

The uniforms are atrocious but the caps are pretty cool.

 

[YTF]

Freddie called that DP off the bat.

Awesome that we got to hear it.

 

[shawnrbu]

Are they going to keep yammering at Freeman while he bats?

“Hey batter batter!”

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Lance Lynn looks like a burgeoning Bartolo Colon

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Young Vlad is enjoying himself.

 

[shawnrbu]

Now Buck is ballwashing LaRussa. That Cardinal love.

 

[barbed wire Bob]

Dumb question but are all the players wearing little American flags on the uniforms? Or is it based on the player’s nationality?

 

[joe dokes]

Yes. Yes yes.
I thought thought thought it was the dryer dryer dryer.

 

[aksoxfan]

These uniforms are about as shitty as could be imagined.

 

[joe dokes]

Lance Lynn looks like a burgeoning Bartolo Colon

Or early 70s Greg Luzinski in Phils polyester.

 

[YTF]

Yes. Yes yes.
I thought thought thought it was the dryer dryer dryer.

I thought the fries were done.

 

[bankshot1]

The NL unis are passable and look like baseball unis, but the AL color rush unis are brutal.

Is the AL playing a 3-4 or a 4-3, and who' s the Mike?

 

[cornwalls@6]

Don’t outfielders, even fast ones, generally prefer having less ground to cover, John?

 

[shawnrbu]

These uniforms are about as shitty as could be imagined.

A shame Chris Sale isn’t an All Star this year.

 

[loshjott]

Joe Buck keeps getting worse. I didn’t think it was possible.

 

[mauidano]

I feel like Joe Buck is just inserting himself in the game. Just because you have the tech doesn't mean it works.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I love that AB after that Krazy Kartoon. What a let-down.

 

[Ale Xander]

More Ohtani talk

 

[bankshot1]

Alfonso was impressed

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice hit

 

[YTF]

Waiting for Buck to give Tatis the exit velo and launch angle.

 

[Harry Hooper]

I think that ting-a-ling chiming noise is people passing through a security checkpoint. Whatever it is, I cannot stand it any longer and have turned the game off.

 

[mauidano]

Bogie & Raffy BOTH have hits. JD, your turn.

 

[strek1]

Not working out for Fox. The wrong guys are lining up for the MVP.

 

[RedOctober3829]

That whole interview with Tatis talking about vlad then vlad hitting that bomb was awesome stuff.

 

[Ale Xander]

These jerseys look like something Old Navy would sell for $5.99

 

[Ale Xander]

Bogie & Raffy BOTH have hits. JD, your turn.

Red Sox 2/3 with the one out being Buck talking into Xander's ear while facing 96+ from a 4x All Star Starting Pitcher

 

[joe dokes]

I think it has stopped. Or I have finally inserted the screwdriver far enough into my ears.

 

[YTF]

These jerseys look like something Old Navy Fanatics would will sell for $5.99 in three months.

FTFY. Hope my 2021 SoSH Secret Santa recipient likes them.
