Trumbo off the scoreboard. Stanton with 4 jacks 490 ft or more. Jesus Christ.

Seriously, I never hated a team so much because of a fan but fuck Baltimore/Dro ford for being so damn annoying. Really feel like this thread would get more replies if Dro ford didn't spam it will his ridiculous shit constantly.

Like, I feel bad for you. Maybe you don't have anyone in real life to talk sports with so you go overboard here. I do know for sure, whatever the reason it is sad.

Well maybe we should just make a team pact that his posts don't count and to ignore them. Lol I remember when RDD was all "Omg you guys are way too mean to Droford", thank god that loser is gone, even if he did like to talk about Pokemon.
I may actually like Orioles more now because they're stuck with Droford as a fan and I pity them. |

Kind of wish there wasn't an all star game, just all star teams announced at the end of the year, so the season can keep going. I like real baseball games, not this bullshit with a silly stipulation.
I also think the home run derby while "fun" and "traditional" is stupid as fuck. I don't really care about watching sluggers taking batting practice, if I do that I'll just go to a Jays game early and watch some of their sluggers sock some dingers. I mean I guess people seem to like it so who am I to judge it, but I want to watch my team play big games. |

Well nobody would care because outside of being an enjoyable midseason novelty the all star game is fairly irrelevant.

I love the derby as currently constructed. I enjoy the all-star game just to see guys who I'd otherwise miss out on, like Trout.

If any sport would really benefit without an actual all-star game, it would be the NFL. Pretty much a very watered down version of regular games except happens after the season is over and most players not caring besides the extra pay check for gettign named an all-star. |

Kinda curious as to why there's a DH in a National league ball park for the All-Star game.
Was that some kind of change I missed a while back? |

They alternate home teams each year regardless of ballpark. It's why the American League players are wearing home whites.

I don't really mind the designated home team changing but it seems dumb that they can't at least have the NL sit in the dugout the Padres would normally be in. Myers and Pomeranz can't even use their real lockers.

Pomeranz shouldn't be getting to comfortable though. He's likely getting dealt.

Gonna have to stop AGAIN to sing God Bless America as well I'm guessing.
Just get it over with and instead of a game, air a U2 concert with them singing the National Anthem on a loop for 4 hours. |

This David Ortiz love fest is funny. Guy has knowingly failed a ped test, and while that test should've remained private, he failed it nonetheless. But you'd never know with how propped up he is.

heyyyyyyy its Big Papi, look at that smile, he could never do anything wrong.
btw a guy doing what hes doing at his age should be tested on a weekly basis. You know how we know a guy like Jr Griffey didn't do PED's? Cuz at the end of his career he sucked balls. |

Probably would have shattered the HR record if he staid healthy long enough and not have PEDs be the main talking point about the record because of Bonds and A-Rod. |

They always say they can't strictly use best record because it creates too many scheduling conflicts. But why not make it so that the league that has the team with the best record at the end of the year gets it? It means the pool of potential World Series Game 1 hosts when the playoffs starts is exactly the same as it would have been under the current format.
Having home field decided by the World Series is just stupid, especially since the game's history supports that leagues go on winning streaks. |

Wow. Fuck Terry Collins. It was bad enough losing Cespedes and Thor. But then he goes on a big spiel making sure every team gets into the game and he doesn't even give Familia or Colon one out.
Fucking waste of time. |

If the homefield advantage rule weren't tied into this shit, Colon 100% gets into this game because it's FUN. It's supposed to be FUN.
Ugh. I think Bryce Harper was right. |

Actually you can toss Steven Wright in there too. Yost used him as a last resort because he didn't want to make someone catch a knuckleball. Well shit, seeing him would have been fun. Can't have that.
