This is the worst AL lineup I can remember. Should be fun to watch the pitchers.

JRX · 07-15-2025, 11:10 AM

NL lineup is actually interesting. AL is basically Judge then change the channel.

Gross... I forgot Judge wasn't there. I had in my head that they had Judge/Ohtani those years. Where did all the AL superstars go?? The NL, I guess since Ohtani, Machado, Tucker and Lindor all left (as well as Devers who would have been on the AL team).

You have more top payroll teams in the NL now, Dodgers, Mets, Phillies, Padres.

Automated balls and strikes, I here for all the complaints!

My prediction is that the biggest complaint is that it actually calls strikes on the edges of the strike zone. Except pitchers will be ok with it.

Are they all ABS called or just allowed to challenge the ump with the ABS?

What about the MLB leader in HRs?

Appears an NBA All Star game broke out

Noles939913 · 07-15-2025, 07:24 PM

For as much hate as it gets The Godfather Part III is probably the most quoted of the trilogy.

Skenes mowing guys down with his heater.

TBTC Baseball · 07-15-2025, 07:31 PM

Going to be a tough game for the hitters if this zone keeps up.

fabiani12333 · 07-15-2025, 07:46 PM

Kershaw talking to the broadcasters while in his wind-up -- that's something I never thought I'd see during an MLB game.

That whole thing, all the way into him in the dugout, made the game worth it. "I don't throw a cutter Smoltzie!!"

TBTC Baseball · 07-15-2025, 08:00 PM

P-C-A!!!

Rooftop · 07-15-2025, 08:02 PM

Nice earring

JWBlue · 07-15-2025, 08:17 PM

Pre-game show sucked.

Love they are going back to their regular uniforms.

Interviews between innings are great.

Was that an earing or part of the ear pieces for the interview? Could not tell.

The Aaron 715 tribute was pretty damn cool.

Joe Ryan 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts
