2017 All-Star Game: AL (Sale) at NL (Scherzer) 6:30 PM CDT

So much orange and teal. Welp, if you want to talk about the ASG, here you go.

[tomwopat]

Edit: whoops, I forgot they changed home field advantage this year.

[TURBO]

I think it is stupid to talk to the players on the field during the game. Seems like they are reaching pretty far to be on the cutting edge of coolness, and doing something different.

[brewmann04]

i still cant figure how we only have one allstar

[sveumrules]

Do we get 1/2 a point for Kintzler?

I probably didn't give Brandon Kintzler enough credit during his Brewers stint, but I have to admit that it is neat to see a guy that twice was drafted in the 40th round make an All Star Game appearance.

I was hoping to see someone commenting on Molina taking a pic....and maybe something about how Carpenter would explain it to his son.

Anyone else rooting for a tie?

I am now!

Just saw the Fox Sports WI article that Sherzer and Sale both pitched for the La Crosse Loggers. It was in 2004 and 2008 respectively. Kind of neat, however small, tie to WI

Bud Selig have a Twitter account I would have to monitor? ..... Haha, priceless.

[WoahSolvdd]

Of course you dont wanna put a brewer out there in ASG Maddon. Well at least the announcers gave the brewers a thirty second shout out.

[liveforoctober]

This might be Madden's greatest trick of all time. He is going to throw Knebel for all 6 extra innings and land him on the DL.

[wildcat83]

Kimbrel sticking his arm out while he's getting the signs drives me crazy.

"Joe West insisted on being the center of the composition, but Yadi had trouble framing it for him."

Lol, I hope Davis blows the game so bad.

I think it would be hilarious if everyone ran out of pitchers and they had to call it a tie again. First game after the "Now it counts" era and we're right back to the tie that started it in the first place.

[WoahSolvdd]

Great call Maddon. Shoulda went with Corey K.

[brewmann04]

Maddon and his closer are the goats very fitting

[young guns]

I think the national league losing on the sole cub giving up the go ahead homer in the 10th with corey not pitching is much more enjoyable then them winning with corey striking out the side to save it. Is that wrong?

[wildcat83]

If you're coaching to win, how do you end up out of bench players, with 4 lefties in a row, when their best remaining pitcher is a lefty....

 

 

CUBS LOSE! CUBS LOSE!

[folly412]

Run Martinez out for two innings and a game high number of pitches, Davis takes the L, Knebel gets rest, and the game is back to being an exhibition like it should be? Works for me!

[WoahSolvdd]

That was fitting, predictable, and just.

 

Gotta feel a little bad for Corey, there was a large contingent of Knebels at the game.

 

Not a coincidence he didnt get to pitch.

[reillymcshane]

 

CUBS LOSE! CUBS LOSE!

Nice. Made me laugh.

[pacopete4]

I'm good with Knebel not pitching. Rest up bud. It's going to be a fun second half
