Home Run Derby/All Star Game thread

[strek1]

I guess I haven't been paying attention. I thought Pujols was just in the derby. He was actually selected to the NL All Star Roster?? How the hell did that happen?

Manfred is able to name legacy types for a last hurrah.

"Legacy selection" along with Miguel Cabrera

 

[ColdSoxPack]

AL uniforms are ugly

OK. That's interesting.

 

[RedOctober3829]

These anthracite uniforms are ugly as hell. Why can’t they just wear their own road greys? Just another money grab.

It defies logic anyone would ask the best AL players to wear these things

 

[Looch]

The AL lineup is ridiculous.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Machado with the gold belt.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The NL team looks like the White Power Ranger.

 

[E5 Yaz]

They got a popcorn vendor to sing the anthem?

 

[ColdSoxPack]

2 layers of cheese

 

[JOBU]

I know it’s just an all star game but you’d think they could get somebody I’ve heard of to sing the anthem. Is this guy legit?

 

[InsideTheParker]

I've heard much worse versions of the anthem than that one.

Broadway. A much better singer than usual, in my opinion.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Josh Donaldson just changed the channel.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Huge swaths of seats non-occupied. Traffic must be epically bad

 

[LynnRice75]

Cancelled cable to save money. Sure sucks when games like this are on. Can watch with an antennae but can’t tune in on phone.

Anyone know if there’s a streaming link?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Don't quit your day job, Mookie

Ben Platt is (well was before the movie) a huge star because Dear Evan Hanson.

 

[Looch]

I’m going to do a running count on Smoltz incorrectly using the word “unique.”

 

[JOBU]

No Joe Buck? Tragic

Don’t think so

Smoltz: “Kershaw COULD be one of the best pitchers of his generation.”

A count ... you should take a swig

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I bet Kershaw gets knocked around.

 

[Looch]

On it

 

[E5 Yaz]

Please stop the interviews

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

These interviews are fucking stupid

 

[strek1]

Start the damn game already

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

The AL uniforms should be illegal

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Judge sucks.

 

[JOBU]

Lurch goes down

 

[E5 Yaz]

The AL uniforms should be illegal

I'm trying to think what they could have done differently, given the color scheme. Gold jerseys?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Kershaw doing well so far. Pickoff of Ohtani, strikeout of Judge.
Now, Devers, do something good. Nice job getting the walk.

 

[JOBU]

I'm trying to think what they could have done differently, given the color scheme. Gold jerseys?

Not sure. But it’s Nike so you know they would have sucked regardless

 

[JOBU]

Pay that man.

 

[YTF]

Perhaps not have a color scheme?

 

[strek1]

Raffy - do that for your team once in a while.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

My only observation is that dodger Stadium food is no better than Wrigley

 

[InsideTheParker]

Raffy - do that for your team once in a while.

Kershaw doesn't throw as hard as a lot of AL pitchers.

 

[canderson]

Judge sucks.

Hey don’t talk ill of the man destined for Monument Park(tm) - Harold Reynolds

 

[YTF]

Kershaw doesn't throw as hard as a lot of AL pitchers.

He may be a classic case of a veteran pitcher who has "learned to pitch" when he's no longer able to bring the heat like he once did.

 

[YTF]

It's hard to pick up these AL players in the shadows. I mean you can see them, but they look like shadows in the shadows.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

These uniforms are really good

 

[DeadlySplitter]

No Joe Buck? Tragic

ESPN hired him away. Monday Night Football man now

 

[YTF]

That was beautiful

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Heck of a transfer

 

[JOBU]

Holy shit

 

[canderson]

Hot damn that was smooth
