ASG IGT LOL WUT

[Fman99]

Unlike the big TV batting practice spectacular, I do expect to actually watch a portion of this event.

[Fman99]

ASG roster news: Starling Marte has opted out and given up his roster slot to Freddie Freeman. I am guessing he wishes to rest his groin or other groiny parts.

[G-Fafif]

Jeff McNeil will bat ninth for the NL.

[seawolf17]

Interesting on Marte. He was all over the Derby celebration last night.

[Ceetar]

I'll watch through the recording of Mets On Tap and then probably drift away. To me the ASG is about the pageantry and celebration. I think they should adopt cinderella rules, everyone bats ones, you can just rotate 3-4 at a time this way you can cycle in a few pitchers to throw a bit, and then once it's done, it's done.

I think they should have the two leagues play football against each other.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Well, that anthem was better than last night's version.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Wow. Nice pick-off!

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Damn good play by Andres Gimenez!

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Goldie extends the NL lead with a blast!!

[kcmets]

Interesting uniforms.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

The Mets even get hit by the pitch in the All-Star Game! Squirrel on first base.

[Edgy MD]

I like how both secondbasemen are 2020 Mets.

Oh joy, they have 2 MFYs mic'd up.

[kcmets]

It's pretty much unwatchable. Then the players start talking on the

field to the booth and each other and it makes it doubly so.



I have never been less gay for baseball than at the present time.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Darn it. Tie games on a Stanton homer.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Freaking Dodgers pitchers.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Pete's in the game.

[bmfc1]

I have no opinion of Sterling K. Brown but I'm sick of Sterling K. Brown.

That Alejandro Kirk guy is listed in BB-REF at 5' 8" / 245

... Holy Shit what a load!!

Don't wanna run into him at the plate.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Big Papi in the dugout is not working.

Discovered by accident in Tijuana when Blue Jays superscout Dean Decillis was there to scout a completely different catcher whose name is lost to history. He wasn't impressed at all, and noticed that Kirk was better in every aspect, but he had to call ahead to the Jays and tell them that they were going to think he's crazy when Kirk showed up at camp. But Decillis had been right about Marcus Stroman so the organization trusted him and signed the load, who proceeded to zip through the minors in 165 games — barely more than single big league season.

Sometimes when you cross a Mexican with a Scot, something wonderful happens.

[Edgy MD]

Thinking that maybe Juan Soto doesn't make it home from the break.

That's how you see it. What I'm seeing is that Gimenez is an all-star and Lindor ain't.

[Ceetar]

That's fine. Gimme Lindor every time.

I also see Carlos Carrasco. In my mind's eye, anyhow.



There he is!

[kcmets]

Oh no, someone's mic is not working. Someone call time out!

Wayne Kirby apparently had surgery today to remove some cancer.
