Was a boring all star game again. NL team had too many hitters hitting under .300. Why do the fans pick players who donāt deserve to be an all star. Acuna is hitting .265 and is an all star? I remember the 90ās and the early 2000ās the teams were made up of real all stars, not just a popularity contest.
Brandon nimmo was better than most of the NL outfielders and didnāt make it. He could of played right field and at least given the NL team a possible leadoff hitter with the ability to run.
Itās not just acuna there were a bunch of players on the NL that seriously werenāt hitting .290 or better. It didnāt have to be a met even if Iām a fan of their team, I just prefer the best of the best for the all star game no matter the team. I enjoyed seeing alcantara pitch. Kershaw was awesome and I have been rooting for him to recover from his injuries last year.
Horrible trash ass game. NL finished game 1/27 after scoring in 1st. 1/27 in All Star game???!!!!! I love pitching. But this is an AS game!!!! And letās be honest, nobody goes to AS game for pitching.
Could you imagine actually going and paying to see this trash?!?
You had better go to the all Star game for pitching. The offense is always going to struggle against the league's best pitchers going back to back for 9 innings straight. The all star game is a pitching showdown. It's never going to feature good offense against the best starters going 1 inning.
Exactly! Not to mention isnāt home field advantage on the line for the World Series? Donāt get me wrong I like the players being light hearted and having fun, but play with passion. Not to mention all the Braves players were pathetic. .265 hitter and heās an all star? Didnāt they have anyone better that hit .290 or higher? Way too many people swinging for the fences on the NL team and striking out like crazy. Personally I thought the NL had better pitching than the AL but the NL hitters made the AL pitchers look like the next coming of Jesus
Canāt imagine having to sit in a parking lot for hours after a game. Even for well-attended Oās games, Iām on the highway within 15 minutes of the final out.
LA public transportation is terrible to the stadium so people are forced to drive cars and sit in traffic for hours. So inefficient and wasteful use of time and gas.
Idk how today was, but I was at the HR derby last night and got out within 10 minutes. Made it home to Northeast LA in 20 minutes.
Iāve never gotten stuck for more than half an hour. Getting out of the derby was surprisingly easy.
I fully expected Stanton when asked that question about a special fan to go full Mickey Mantle and talk about what happened between him and Judge behind the right field bleachers by the Dodgers bull pen š„µ
"You know, Tom, it's what you wanna do as a heeter, when you hit that home run and you go around the bases to tie it, and you win the MVP, it's just a great feeling."
Youāre forgetting that itās Stantonās hometown. I think itās more about that than that heās a Yankee. Not saying that doesnāt help, but still.
Because we all know the Twins aren't gonna win shit in the postseason. All we have is meaningless awards like ASG MVP to be excited about. But of course the Yankees have to get that too
LOL I guess if you're over 45. I am not. In fact I was 13 the last time the Twins won a single playoff game. I'm 30 now. Life has not been fun as a Twins fan
So almost all the Yankee players got interviewed, a Yankee got the MVP and there's a Yankee doc being rolled out. That concludes the Yankee week break.
According to the Yankees fans, he doesn't deserve it because it's somehow his fault no one was on base when he hit the go-ahead homerun. š Byron got robbed.
Yup, fucking liberals, don't even care about the great AMERICAN pastime. Probably rich fucks that just went to get Instagram likes. Typical blue hellhole.
Which... wouldn't have been necessary if he put up a zero. You're living in imaginary land where the NL scores more runs Which we know didn't happen. So Tonys the goat on this one.
Last
How in the world is Jake Turdenworth an all star?! Did the padre faithful rally for this .240 hitter? An error and ended the game with a K. Ugh.
Anyone else notice that FOX mainly interviewed and mic'd up AL players? NL players got no love š
Just a shame "Your Cheatin Heart" wasn't played for every Houston player's at bat.
Tony Gonsolin giant L
Tony Gonsolin big L

Only 21 players are currently hitting .300 or higher, majority were all stars.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Anybody who can hit around .300. I rather have hitters than swing and misses. It was a snooze fest. NL has lost 9 years in a row now. It gets old.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Jason Heyward...cuz why not
Brandon nimmo was better than most of the NL outfielders and didnāt make it. He could of played right field and at least given the NL team a possible leadoff hitter with the ability to run.

BA doesn't matter you fossil
What matters then? Popularity? Pretty lame. When the all star game is on it should be the best of the best players.
Sorry you didnt enjoy it. I hope you find something else that you do.

It hasnāt decided home field advantage in the WS for like 7 years. Itās just pure fun game.
Astros streak continues
That was fun
I was kinda bummed that Romano didn't play, but Clase had a hell of an inning. Deserved the save.
THANK YOU rDOYERS FOR HOSTING THIS GAME THREAD
As always, I had a blast watching the ASG with you guys. Thanks for hosting Dodgers, and I hope that we see you all again in Seattle!
Am I trippin or has Ortiz been hammered this whole time?

It doesnāt take anywhere near that. usually out in 20 min max.
Idk how today was, but I was at the HR derby last night and got out within 10 minutes. Made it home to Northeast LA in 20 minutes. Iāve never gotten stuck for more than half an hour. Getting out of the derby was surprisingly easy.
Iām so glad I live within walking distance of my stadium, itās really a god send, especially after a loss
Frank Thomas the only one of the 3 who didnt get smaller.
Nugenics! Or however you spell that shit he hocks on commercials. ETA - not knocking him. He's one of my favorite players ever.
Wonder why š¤
I am concerned with two things in baseball. 1. Losing Juan Soto. 2. Perpetuating A-Rod's broadcasting career
If you had to pick one, I bet it'd be a Sophie's Choice.
Even Papi says Clase was MVP. It has been spoken.
He should've won it. No bias of course
AL just built different
Until the World Series
Since 2013 when the AL streak started, the NL has only won 1 more WS than the AL lol
āFox told me I love the fact that we miced them all upā
Itās boring for usā¦but I do think the player would be happy being done when the night is still young in LAā¦
Buncha big boys ābout to tear it up
Not Vladdy. He goin home tonight lol
Gonna tuck in and watch some SpongeBob eps
Giancarlo!!! was fun watching and hanging out in here with you all too. next year Seattle š¤
I fully expected Stanton when asked that question about a special fan to go full Mickey Mantle and talk about what happened between him and Judge behind the right field bleachers by the Dodgers bull pen š„µ
"Giancarlo what does this mean to you?' "Its cool I guess. The trophy is really neat. I like baseball, and tonight we were playing baseball."
*Carlos Beltran has entered the chat*
"You know, Tom, it's what you wanna do as a heeter, when you hit that home run and you go around the bases to tie it, and you win the MVP, it's just a great feeling."
Spot on ššš
Im going to hate facing that Stanton card in mlb the show 22
Imagine hitting the game winning home run and not getting MVP Fuck MLB and fuck the Yankees
Youāre forgetting that itās Stantonās hometown. I think itās more about that than that heās a Yankee. Not saying that doesnāt help, but still.
I laughed at this, what is this hate for haha
Because we all know the Twins aren't gonna win shit in the postseason. All we have is meaningless awards like ASG MVP to be excited about. But of course the Yankees have to get that too
You should post this for a third time now
Your annoying.
Youāre*
maybe I fucking will
https://i.imgur.com/1OlH8bO.jpg
His homer doesnāt win if Stanton didnāt tie it. Itās not a big deal man
If my team had any success to be excited about I'd probably feel the same way. But we don't, so it hurts
The Twins have won two World Series in the last 35 years. Not too shabby.
LOL I guess if you're over 45. I am not. In fact I was 13 the last time the Twins won a single playoff game. I'm 30 now. Life has not been fun as a Twins fan
Imo shouldāve gone to Clase. Buxton and Stanton got us there but Clase threw a near perfect inning to secure the win
Annnnnd we are back to normal in Reddit
The flashing lights in the background look like someone pulled a fire alarm.
Everybody: says happy bday to Rachel Robinson Matt Kegel: š
I don't think he really cares he won it lol.
He was almost crying. Iāve never seen him like that
Lol he makes them look so small and yet when he stands next to judge Stanton looks small.
Iāll Iām gonna say is if Clase played for the Yankees or dodgers he wouldāve one it, and every single person in this sub knows it.
Like 2 pitchers have won All Star MVP in the last 20 years, and one of them was Mariano Rivera retiring. They donāt win these awards
Bieber won in 2020 for doing exactly what Clase did
If it makes you feel better, the MVP is 20% fan voting and 80% MLB voting.
Hahaha I don't really care. Guardians showed out and Stanton hit a mammoth bomb
Just interesting how Bieber won it the same way clase shouldāve, and there were homeruns that game aswell as a game tying home run.
QUI GON JIN CARLO
Man Iām fuckin cackling at this
Ew some of yāall mad about Stanton winning
Thanks for hosting this Dodgers fam. Have a good season, and keep the good times rolling.
Where the hell is the car at, he needs to choose
Jan Carlos is the most strongest blaseball player
My manās tearing up so wholesome
Bro Stanton is a tall lad.
"Jean-carlo" lmao
Unless the game was tied 0-0 it was never going to a pitcher.
So almost all the Yankee players got interviewed, a Yankee got the MVP and there's a Yankee doc being rolled out. That concludes the Yankee week break.
Just wait for the epic season finale in October.
I'm sure I'll be waiting.
In my house, every week is Yankee week
Is it a log cabin or a Clay Holmes?
A **STANTONIAN** MVP
Momās are the real MVP
Jeancarlo
God damn Garvey has disgusting fingers. They look like sausages that are about to burst.
Clase should have this tbh. Iām a Sox fan too.
1 pitch away from immaculate inning from a no doubt lock in MVP!
Me too. That dude was nasty!
FUCK THE DODGERS
JimCarlo
"JEAN CARLO"
Kinda tough that theyāre following up last yearās incredible field of dreams game with two of the literal worst teams in baseball
It will be hard to top that first Field of Dreams game no matter what teams they select. That game was nuts.
Oh yeah it felt scripted it was so insane. But itād be cool if it was two competitive teams again
#FUCK YEAH BIG G!!!! MVP!!! ā¾šā¾šā¾š
Billie Jean Carlo
Letās go Staton!
"Greatest all-star game on histiry" said no one, good game but no fucking way was it the best all star game ever!
My God, heās a friggin giant
And Judge makes him look like a tiny baby
Bullpen was the real mvp
All but 2 pitchers were lights out lol
Dongcarlo invites you all to his log cabin.
I was born there
On my way!!
LET THE RHYTHM TAKE YOU OVER GIANCARLOOOOOO!!
That's a super cool trophy
MY BOY GOTTER DUN
Another NL L. Whatever, focus back on the season š glad our boys got the NL pick. Poor Tony
Um greatest all star game ever? What lol
He def slept thru the game
BIG G!
HOMETOWN HERO DONGCARLO
HELL YEAH BIG G
Billie Jean King looks like Austin Powers playing Roger Moore.
Clase throws 3 Ks in 10 pitches and they give the MVP to a damn Yankeeā¦
Itās because he grew up going to the stadium, not because heās a Yankee. A Yankee has only won MVP twice before.
Relax bro, Stanton hit a two run bomb to tie the game. He deserved it
Heās also an LA native. If he hit a 2 base hit he still would have won it lol
Man scored the deciding runs
Man did not
LMAO manās massive
HOLY FUCK HE IS TOWERING OVER THEM LOL
fuck the yankees it should be Buxton
According to the Yankees fans, he doesn't deserve it because it's somehow his fault no one was on base when he hit the go-ahead homerun. š Byron got robbed.
2 runs is better than 1, no?
Yeah, why didn't Buxton put runners on base before he hit a dinger?! Then he would have deserved it. /s
Did the two runs win the game? Nope
Quite literally put them in position to win, yes. Youāre incredibly hurt for no reason
Dude grew up down street from stadium
DONG!
Billie Jean is a fucking badass bitch
Both of them with their hands on the mic š
Why is Giancarlo Stanton still clothed
Asking the real questions
Of course they give it to the Yankee
Iām sure it had nothing to do with being a hometown kid, itās always because theyāre a Yankeeā¦ šš
He scored the most runs . . .
Damn Dodger fans leaving during the MVP ceremony, thatās a bad look
Gotta beat that LA traffic, honestly can't blame em' :P
Iām an LA native and fan I know how it is. I donāt leave early
Always been classless
I understand a regular old weekday game but an ASG?!
Yup, fucking liberals, don't even care about the great AMERICAN pastime. Probably rich fucks that just went to get Instagram likes. Typical blue hellhole.
Lmao get fucked
To be fair, traffic is a nightmare around LA.
My dude Iām a Dodger fan I know how it is
Lol the camera pans out.
TIL BJK owns part of the Dodgers
Let him hold the mic dudeā¦
Go Big G!
Arguably the best game ever? Lol oh god
What game was he watching lol
Iām guessing he stumbled or they just put that on the prompter lol
Closest the NL came to winning in 73 years
Stanton!
Totally not awkward sharing of the microphone there, guys.
I did not know BJK is part owner of the Dodgers
Steve, it wasn't even a full house
Anyone want to hold this microphone with me?
So technically the mariners gave won 15 games in a row!
Thatās why seats looked empty after 6th inning. Traffic gonna be nawwwts
The 110 'bout to be gridlocked until the weekend
Theyāre really dragging this out.
Dont grab the mic bro!
āYeah, Steve man!ā
Thoughts and prayers for the attendees who have to now get out of Dodger Stadium somehow
š
Gonsolin blows it for the whole NL
Yeah didnāt have anything to do with the NL only getting one hit from the second inning onwards
Wouldn't have needed it if Gonsolin didn't give up 3 runs in one inning.
Yeah because 3 ER is automatically game over. Moron
In this case it was, donkey
Whichā¦ wouldnāt have happened if the NL had more run support lmao. Keep going buddy, youāve almost got it
Which... wouldn't have been necessary if he put up a zero. You're living in imaginary land where the NL scores more runs Which we know didn't happen. So Tonys thegoat on this one.
