Brewers also doing their damndest to help Skenes get his no hitter - top/heart of the order saw a total of seven pitches in the 6th and six pitches in the 7th.

Yeah that was bad. Think he had 60 through 3.

But that’s also something hopefully Skenes learns too. Maybe punch out a few less guys. Keep that PC down. People ain’t squaring you up.

Murphy deciding to bunt in the 8th and not PH for Frelick in the ninth was some real managerial negligence.

The ASG is TV entertainment disguised as an exhibition baseball game.

As probably the single participant that most baseball fans want to see, Skenes should start for the NL so he can go up against Judge and Soto in the first inning.

Paul Skenes is nuts

The thing that gets glossed over is that before he transferred to LSU, he played both ways at Air Force and was an absolute menace, raked over .400. Obviously focusing on pitching was the right choice, and not saying he would be another Ohtani, but he could have been fun in the 9th slot before universal DH.

When it comes to the ASG putting in guys who the fans want initially even if not deserving is fine, especially if they are notorious good/popular.

But some of the players picks mixed with the replacements are just wtf.

Orioles already have like 7 guys in. Ain't no causal fan turning on ASG and saying "cant wait to watch that Santander guy"

23 homers? He's got a .298 OBP. For 3 years people have called broken down Stanton trash and overpaid. That is literally stanton haha

Compare his numbers to Brent Rooker and its comical.

I still like the ASG because it's the only one where all the players are trying their best to win, (with the rare exception like grooving a fastball for Ripken in his last ASG).

I get that. But those who put together the teams and who manage them aren't trying their best to win. And that's OK with me.

Might be a good ASG to ask to bat bottom of order

Skenes officially getting the start

Annual Brewer bullpen collapse in the 10 days before the ASG.

Dodgers, too.

Jose Berrios threw 90 pitches today. 37 were swung at. 0 were missed.

Not sure what's up with him this year but he's plummeted. Will be interesting if he turns it around still only like 30

Further proof country music must be stopped

Most of them suck.

This girl had 4 Grammies and based off online reaction like no one knew who the hell she was

Pretty sure me and Muggs could form country duo and snag a couple Grammys

Grammy nominations*** Big difference.

She had 2 decently big songs 5 years ago, neither were crossover hits nor did they hit Top 5 on the Country Charts, not surprising that many outside the Nashville/Country Music sphere know her.

Yeah I did know that part just didn’t type it, def a difference.

But still. That always happens only in country it seems. I don’t listen to much current of any music but I alway know the Grammy noms of things outside of that.

Also ironic she botched a drunk performance. Ain’t that the country wheelhouse

I think the managers are trying to win, too, but they are given additional rules they have to abide by, like a youth baseball coach. Everybody gets in except a pitcher that is left behind for emergency purposes, etc. But they try to mix and match their substitutions to get the platoon advantage if they can, so even they are trying to win given the constraints forced upon them.

But you're right that the managers are not trying to win the best in the traditional sense of how you try to win baseball games.

The all-star games in other sports do not interest me at all because they are not actual competitive games where anybody is trying to win. I don't watch the home run derby which is eclipsing the ASG in popularity because I find watch batting practice boring. A sporting feat in team sports is not impressive to me if there's no one trying to stop you.

Good for her for owning up to it without throwing out a bunch of BS excuses. Hope she gets the help she needs.

100 games in the Sox are on pace for 118 loses, but with trades likely coming, a new MLB record, in 162 game season, of 120 loses is very real possibility. Chicago fans need to get out to the ballpark to history being made.

Did Nick Castellanos hit a home run early this afternoon?
Do you even need to ask?

Nice start to the second half of the season for the Crew, taking two from the Twins despite the bullpen continuing its shaky form.

Going to need to bolster the pen before the deadline. A big bag would be nice but that pen is leaking oil

Skubal and Flaherty are great pieces for trading. However, right now there are so many starting pitchers throughout the Tigers system injured that if Dettoit traded them every day would have to be a bullpen day. Like Tampa, only not by choice.
