IGT 7/17/18: All-Star Game, "This Time It Doesn't Count"

[Guest 41Forever]

Stinking Judge.

[Guest 41Forever]

Jake in the game!!!

[Guest 41Forever]

One down!!!

[Guest 41Forever]

Two down!

Too bad the booth is more concerned with interviewing Bryce.

At least Bryce brings the conversation back to de Grom.

[Guest 41Forever]

Rats. Trout goes deep.

[Guest 41Forever]

And Jake gets the final out swinging.

[bmfc1]

Get 3 runs and Jake gets the win.

I just gagged a little because I'm rooting for Fkn Freddy Freeman.

'lil bit.

They have turned my All Star Game into a circus.

Too many on-field interviews.

I find that practice totally ridiculous. I was hoping a ball would get hit to Harper and he would just stand there and keep yakkin, ignoring ball.

I didn't think it possible to make the ASG any more unwatchable.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I've only watched some. Trout gave that deG pitch a clout.

There's probably some research that shows outfielders talking into
mics is somehow entertaining but I find it boring. At least now it's
now an exhibition game again and I guess they're gonna dumb it
up as much as possible from here on out.

Seems all the four major sports these days except hockey have
people running it that went to The Vince McMahon School of Biz.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I prefer the dumb interviews to pretending there's something meaningful on the line, even if there is.

[Guest d'Kong76]

You're right about the pretending and meaningful, I probably should have
left out the part about it now again being an exhibition game I guess.

[Zvon]

I long for the days when we could simply watch the game and hear some good 'ol boring play by play.

[Guest 41Forever]

Meaningless, but people care. Trevor Story just tied it up!!!!

I'm still pissed Terry didn't play any of the Mets in 2016. I know it's dumb.

To me it means something because it's baseball history in the making.

Right there with you! People in Detroit still talk about Reggie's homer at Tiger Stadium.

I don't really long for anything, baseball wise. Players being interviewed
while on the field kinda feels a little too video-gameish or something to me.
Like that graphic one of the networks uses to show a lead off first if it's 9 ft,
10 ft, 14 ft... just stop already!

I wish it was video gameish in that I could lower the broadcasters volumn and turn up the game sounds.

[Guest 41Forever]

Rats. There goes the game.

[Frayed Knot]

Hader's gonna hade.

Scooter Gennett, American hero!!!

Son of a ....


Dodger pitchers forever giving it up to Astro hitters.

[Zvon]

Damn. Short lived.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

geez someone discovered a lot of really inappropriate, and really old, remarks on Haders twitter, evidently during the game!

[Zvon]

Good game. I enjoyed this. Not the losing, but this was a decent 2018 type game (homer city). The N.L. did make it exciting.
