The All-Star Game Thread

Let's go Papi

 

[strek1]

Manny & Papi batting back to back. Reverse of what we're used to hearing but funny none the less.

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

Papi to Trout: "Can I have your feet?" Brilliant. That belongs in the lore.

 

[Ale Xander]

Pretty sure if you lead in OBP and SLG, you will also lead in OPS

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

Did Smoltz just say "infectuous"?

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

GRRRRRRRR

 

[strek1]

So Cueto's not grooving?

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

Dang. Scorched. Great AB from Papi.

 

[canderson]

DAMN

 

[Ale Xander]

Figurative torch passing?

 

[Al Zarilla]

rizzo, boo, boo.

 

[soxhop411]

Look in the right hand corner

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Blow me, Rizzo.

Cueto was cracking up coming off the field.

 

[Bergs]

Papi is so locked in. Great play there.

 

[rymflaherty]

Ortiz is a bit older

Lol yeah my bad.
That fact was given when they had the fielding positions up.
Not sure how I forgot Papi but I wasn't thinking of the DH.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Kluber is a replacement and he gets the 2nd inning? Yost doesn't give a shit about pecking order.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Blow me, Rizzo.

Cueto was cracking up coming off the field.

Cueto is really fun to watch with the Tiant look, the quick pitches and general great enthusiasm.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

don't do that ever again Joe.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I wonder how many of these all-stars will be traded before games resume Friday

 

[DeadlySplitter]

^ 0.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

I really dislike Joe Buck.

 

[Ale Xander]

I wonder how many of these all-stars will be traded before games resume Friday

It would be nice if Bryant comes to Fenway

 

[DanoooME]

Amazing Ozuna is an All-Star considering he was in AAA at this time last year.

Amazing Ozuna is an All-Star considering he was in AAA at this time last year.

That and Kluber leading the league in losses last year.

You kid, but doesn't it seem like the D-Backs and the Brewers gave up a little bit earlier this year than usual?

With the wild card set up, it's surprising that players of Hill's and Ziegler's pedigree would be available as early as they were.

Actually, I wasn't kidding. Lucroy, Bruce and Pomeranz might all be set to be dealt

Ortiz was benched in favor of Hillenbrand 12-13 months before his 2004 ASG

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

I don't know if everybody's seeing the same commercials, but that drug commercial I just saw might have been the ultimate Happy Fun Ball type pharma ad. It was really kind of beyond self-parody.

 

[Ale Xander]

Hoss

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

That'll do, donkey.

 

[DanoooME]

MOOOOOOOOOKIE!

 

[staz]

Send him

 

[Al Zarilla]

What happened in LF, did they bring in the fence 50 ft?

And Mookie!

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

I Heart Mookie

 

[Beomoose]

Well it wasn't a blast but Mookie Bats!

 

[Ale Xander]

All apologies to Ned Yost

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

Well, that was a blast.

Last year's batterymate getting a cookie?

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Those KC guys...

 

[Ale Xander]

[DeadlySplitter]

[Al Zarilla]

[Minneapolis Millers]

JBJ!!!! Crushed.

 

[strek1]

Haha - LINER in the box score for JBJ!!!!

 

[hittery]

I thought the Home Run Derby was last night?

 

[Curt S Loew]

Amazing Ozuna is an All-Star considering he was in AAA at this time last year.

So was JBJ.

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

Farrell can't even high five correctly.

 

[Al Zarilla]

JBJ!!!! Crushed.

Looks like a line drive in the box score.

 

[MuzzyField]

Knocked the shit out of that one!
