Vargas just cranked a home run

Got his swing back last three games. Mune looked good in the Derby too. We’re going to be tough.

Only 2 barrels in the entire game so far and both are off his bat.

Mune to face Miller

Absolutely. It’s either him or Bellinger.

Odds of K

about 85%

although an XB hit would be nice

Preller with a momentous decision whether to trade him or not...

Murakami 3 swings and misses against Mason Miller throwing 102

Slider speed bat.

Joking.

If his first AB had landed for a double, I'd say he was guaranteed. However, it didn't and I feel hes going to get screwed.

I wonder if Peters, Mune or Vargas have bonuses for making the All Star team ?

MVP should be collective AL pitching staff...can they do that?

Vargas just loves the big moment.

Vargas reminds me of Konerko. Struggled with LA as a top prospect but excels with us. Lets hope their futures are similar.

I want him extended more than any other player. They explored buying out some arb years it sounds like, but he wasn't interested.

Vargas really admired that bomb

Cody Bellinger will win it somehow ...

All 3 Sox on the field for the AL to end the game. Beautiful.

So much for NL dominance...

FIFA rigged it...at any rare, it just provides the White Sox more fuel for their overlooked/under appreciated status.

Philly players especially didn't show up for the home crowd

0-5 with 4K for their bats, 3 ER in an inning for their starter

The mike on Dylan and strategizing with Smoltz was probably the coolest aspect of the entire game...unfortunately.

Elite pitching wins in the post season.

Boob Nightengale with a nice click bait article about how Peters had to spend the night in the hospital because his wife had to be rushed there. Nightengale is a class act.

Vargas goes boom

The first homer of the 2026 edition of the All-Star Game belonged to first-time All-Star Miguel Vargas. The burgeoning White Sox slugger launched a no-doubt 433-foot homer off Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski in the eighth inning to give the AL a little more breathing room after their three-run first inning.

It was the third-longest homer in an All-Star Game since Statcast began tracking in 2015, surpassed only by Giancarlo Stanton (457 feet) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (468 feet).
