All Star Week Gamethread

[strek1]

It would be poetic justice if Machado's tendons were ground to jelly sliding into second base.

 

[shepard50]

Would there even be an All-Star Game were it not for Ohtani? Would there be baseball?

If we had enough Berg points I think we could recreate it, but better and with Robo umps.

 

[Bergs]

I want my @Bergs points ... and i want them NOW

Your points total has been...adjusted.

 

[joe dokes]

That's journalism 101.

It's also common courtesy.

 

[barbed wire Bob]

i would like a translation of what the translator is really saying to Ohtani. Something like, “you, heard what that Idiot Joe Buck said. of course you played badminton, what kind of stupid is that?” How do you want to answer it?”

 

[Bergs]

You have spelled Bergs wrong. Thus, no points. It's science.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Siri didn't show me baseball standings ... false advertising

 

[joe dokes]

Get Whitlock up. This guy volunteered to throw the game.

 

[barbed wire Bob]

You have spelled Bergs wrong. Thus, no points. It's science.

You’re so strict!

 

[boxosII]

Sawamura, Whitlock and Barnes and this one's n the bag

 

[Bergs]

I can see why Bassitt might think he won't get here again.

 

[Ale Xander]

A grand slam would be nice here to blow Ohtani's W just after the interview.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Seriously they bugged the bullpen phone.

 

[joe dokes]

Bryant's gonna tie it.

 

[Ale Xander]

I can see why Bassitt might think he won't get here again.

This hound hunts

 

[Ale Xander]

Bryant would be a good upgrade over Marwin/Cordero/Santana

 

[Al Zarilla]

Probably take that (1 run) with Bassitt pitching.

 

[shepard50]

It's a fairly dark loyalty program.

I may go back to Camel Cash.

 

[joe dokes]

I had no idea Bryant had played everywhere like that.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I had no idea Bryant had played everywhere like that.

The ghost of Joe Maddon smiles and approves

 

[Mystic Merlin]

They need Eck in the booth to talk to these guys.

 

[AB in DC]

Meanwhile JDM ends up climbing K2

 

[E5 Yaz]

Joe Buck is abysmal: "Don't stop being a little kid"???????

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Joe Buck is abysmal: "Don't stop being a little kid"???????

A new low.

 

[shawnrbu]

Did you ever hear his dad was drafted by the Sox?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Wait what are the Dodgers selling? Sounds like a bullshit security: ‘all proceeds net of administrative fees’ go to charity.

Mookie's expensive.

 

[shawnrbu]

Did MLB shadow ban the Astros from the All Star Game?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

They shouldn't allow shifts in an exhibition game

 

[phrenile]

They shouldn't allow shifts in an exhibition game

Give him another couple years and Manfred will "improve the fan experience" by starting each inning with one of their own standing on second base.

 

[shawnrbu]

Imagine watching Melancon in 2012 and thinking he would be an All Star in 2021.

 

[BaseballJones]

Imagine watching Melancon in 2012 and thinking he would be an All Star in 2021.

His year with the Sox was basically his only bad year of his career. Otherwise he's been absolutely phenomenal. Go figure.

 

[Ale Xander]

Imagine watching Melancon in 2012 and thinking he would be an All Star in 2021.

He was an All-Star in 2013, 2015, and 2016

 

[joe dokes]

Not much happening, but at least it's not taking forever for nothing to happen. Only 1030 in the 8th inning.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Reggie Smith makes the pitching change

 

[mauidano]

Melancon looked pretty jazzed about Reggie Smith coming to get him. Pretty cool.

 

[bankshot1]

Reggie a coach with the LAD?

 

[patinorange]

Love Reggie.

 

[bosockboy]

Honorary.

 

[bosockboy]

Barnes maybe close this?

 

[strek1]

Barnes maybe close this?

If they really want to make it interesting they could bring Chapman in.

 

[strek1]

If they really want to make it interesting they could bring Chapman in.

OR perhaps they could create a special "re-entry" rule during the game and have Ohtani come in and finish the game he started! Good for baseball, right?

 

[bankshot1]

Honorary.

Thanks-

Sox cranked out some pretty good OFers WBW.

 

[E5 Yaz]

wtf was that?

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Wtf was that commercial about.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

wtf was that?

Fox.

 

[Ale Xander]

What the f and who tthe f was that?

 

[Ale Xander]

Not the 9th Boooooo

 

[joe dokes]

If they really want to make it interesting they could bring Chapman in.

Iirc, gossage blew an ASG in the mid 70s. I enjoyed that.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

the broadcast should be stricken from the airways at once.
