**Official 2022 All Star Game Thread**

[GMRide27]

Perennial Thread? Doubt it.

Good game? Maybe.

Conversation? Right here!

Let's go Trout!

[al3xmac10]

I hope Ohtani vs Kershaw ends in extra bases or a strikeout. :)

[Siberian13]

Over under 7.5?

AL favored, who wins?

[JWBlue]

Surprisingly NL is somehow favored.

I think the AL is better at literally every starting position.

Okay this guy can sing unlike that tiktok clown who 'sang' before the home run Derby last night

[Ferg1945]

Count me as the guy surprised to see Joe Davis being the lead guy at FOX.

So used to Joe Buck and John Smoltz.

We just changed Joes... nothing to see here

[majestik101]

Would love to see Ohtani take Kershaw deep with a solo shot

[PejaD]

Marlins Man is relegated to the 3rd row and barely in the camera view from centerfield lol

[majestik101]

Ohtani picked off.

Yikes.

[BdotHobbs]

When was the last time someone got picked off in the ASG??

Topps Now

[zworykin]

Ohtani picked off.

Yikes.

And grinning the whole way back to the dugout. I'm telling you, this guy is impossible not to love.

[Melagoo]

Go Vladdy!!!

[NYRE2PECT]

He looked surprised as hell!

Blasphemy. The All-Star game should have everyone in their own uniforms.

[Melagoo]

agree! ... that was one thing they use to always get right until recently

[seanbros55]

I agree 100%.

But…these are designed well. Except for the mesh hats…

Since Shane didn't do well and there aren't any other Rays fans, I would go after his jersey if they put it up for auction somewhere. Might be reasonable.

[NYRE2PECT]

NL’s are way better IMHO…not a fan of the AL.

Interesting that the 2021 NL Cy Young and the (likely) 2022 AL Cy Young both got rocked in the ASG

[BdotHobbs]

The NL jerseys look exactly like the jerseys the WS winner wears on opening day after they win the title. That’s the only thing I don’t like. The AL jerseys are beautiful. I’m waiting on my Framber Valdez jersey to ship

But I do miss when everyone just wore their own jerseys. That definitely looked the best. I’m just a sucker for jerseys so I’m always gonna buy one as long as they don’t look like the 2021 all star jerseys. Those were the ugliest things ever

[cnewby]

Aight, Mic'd up Manoah is pure gold!!!

[BigSlim16]

Manoah being mic’d up is awesome

[LCM1223]

What a character

That was fun

[Seitas]

I wish Manoah could go the rest of the game. How about him calling smoltz “sexy’? That was great.

[cnewby]

"Don't Soto me!" :cry:

[dodgerfanjohn]

Manoah was fantastic.

[MiamiMarlinsFan]

Manoah was fantastic.

Sandy wasn’t too shabby himself.

[hammertime]

Manoah is a delight. I love the ump cam, wish they used that more.

[Bronconation24]

What a snooze fest

[Melagoo]

holy CRUSHED!

[awz50]

What a blast

[Siberian13]

Crushed that junk

[awz50]

Stanton destroyed that

[Melagoo]

Manoah was fantastic.

We love him!

[Siberian13]

Buxton’s turn

[awz50]

Back to back oh my

[Melagoo]

Buxton murders one

[Siberian13]

That pitch was way high too

[Hollywood42]

Buxton!!! :flex:

[awz50]

That .216 AVG can crush

[NYRE2PECT]

That pitch was way high too


That’s was an amazing turn on that ball, pretty unreal.

I agree. I try every year to get excited about the ASG but once it starts I always wind up playing rummy with the wife…

[imbluestreak23]

Who was it again that was hating on Joe Buck besides all humans on the planet?

At least he was engaging.

I never understood the Joe Buck hate. One of the best in the business imo

[awz50]

Cool to see pujols playing in the all star game one last time

[al3xmac10]

will Ohtani get a 3rd at-bat?

Oh god what a terrible bit this is

Who thought this would be a good idea

Big Papi giving off drunk uncle at the cookout vibes

Crossfaded uncle who is awkward but you still have to respect

[cnewby]

Kinda funny, but highly obnoxious.

[Zauron]

Possibly Miguel Cabrera last all star at bat and you basically miss it lol

[hammertime]

Inning ends with him in the on-deck circle. At least he should be used to it.

[awz50]

When its his last year they will let him go

[BdotHobbs]

Big Papi was hilarious. He’s definitely been sippin on something

[hxcmilkshake]

Martin Perez is an All Star? Juicing.

Yeah... it started well.. but other that back-to-back HRs... its been boring.

And... Joe Davis isn't helping. Buck/Smoltz was fun to listen to.

I didn't think I'd miss Joe Buck.. I don't hate the guy... but Joe Davis really makes me miss Buck.

It's the same when Jim Nantz isn't going golf. Nantz IS Golf

[awz50]

The AL uniforms look like high end vandy uniforms

[cnewby]

Manoah is waaay more fun than all of these other guys. Nestor was distracted the whole inning.

[cnewby]

Trevino ab was good tv.

[awz50]

This is now a snooze fest

Pray for a tie

[PejaD]

Manoah and Trevino have a future in media

[bankdawg]

Too many players make the all star team. Jake Croneworth? Really batting. 241 with 9hr

[awz50]

Thank all the replacement player crap

[awz50]

Ian happ should not be here

[Hollywood42]

Give him the hit!

All Raez!

[cnewby]

Platoon all stars? I've seen it all.

[Siberian13]

You can bat .216 and have on on base of .293 and make an all star game. :)!

[PejaD]

I feel like they are going to rig it to go to the HR derby tie-breaker...

[awz50]

I feel like they are going to rig it to go extras...

Well yeah gotta show off the new format

[bankdawg]

Tough to rig it when pitchers are throwing 99

[Zauron]

Man this is boring lol

[ObanMontecristo]

they had Hendriks mic’d up while he was pitching? Can’t remember ever seeing that before

[cnewby]

About 3 innings ago...

[Bronconation24]

All star game shouldn’t be a thing. Dudes jogging to 1st lol. A lot dinner reservations and bottle service to attend

[Siberian13]

So Stanton is the MVP currently until someone does something to win it at the end.

[PejaD]

Now they have to hope Clase blows the save opp

[PejaD]

Stanton & Clase should be co-MVPs

[majestik101]

Give the MVP to Ian Happ

[no10pin]

There were 20 pitchers tonight. Two of them gave up all the runs and 8 of the 13 hits.

[majestik101]

Geezus how tall is Stanton. He makes Billie Jean, Tom and Steve look like hobbits

[Siberian13]

And those two were in the top 3 of calculus’s rankings I believe.

Listed at 6'6" and I believe it.

Seems like JRod is the only import that's capable of holding an intelligible conversation for more than 30 seconds. Speaks better english than Grande Papi, whose been here before Julio was conceieved.

Definitely. The person also has to want it as well. That always puzzled me when it came to vets who've made an absurd living off the game.

[GMRide27]

Without the "mic'd up" segments, the game would have been 100% intolerable.

[Rabs]

AL has won 9 straight that's crazy.
