Talk about BAD marketing for the game, my god.

 

It's like they did the exact opposite of the NL.

If Rolaids didn't have the Relief Man award, there would be some potential there.

 

TUMS?

 

Pepto Bismol, lol?

 

Maalox?

MLB cant help themselves. I voted for Freeman and didnt even bother with an AL selection.

Looks like the backlash has set in, and Puig might be splitting votes with Gonzalez.

 

This has the potential to seriously backfire for MLB...if Puig doesn't get in, 50% of the interest in the game will evaporate and you'll lose 75% of the LA viewers who were going to tune in just for him (as opposed to Clayton Kershaw).

WTF? You're serious, you think that the audience in L.A. for the All Star Game will multiply by a factor of 4 if he gets in?

I don't mean 75% of the entire city, obviously.

 

Last year's game nationally was a 3.2.

 

The year prior, it was 3.1.

 

Maybe 75% is an exaggeration, but 25-50% probably isn't.

 

I'd have to look at the All-Star game ratings in the LA market...well, it doesn't matter because there's no way to prove or disprove anything.

 

That said, I'm sure if he DOESN'T make it, there will be articles in the LA Times on this issue.

WHY IN THE F**K IS PITBULL PERFORMING AT THE HOME RUN DERBY???

 

Ugh....

 

 

Matt Harvey (Mets) and Max Scherzer (Tigers) names starters for Tuesday's game.

Leyland told Scherzer that Sale was the starter as a joke. I liked it.

Of the four major sports, the MLB all-star game is the only I ever watch. In every other sport, if the players don't give 100% and goof off, it ruins the competitiveness of the game. But in baseball, it's still entertaining and high quality.

This Pitbull concert is great. Way to kick things off MLB!

Why is Cuddyer in this?

Do you see now?

Cespedes...holy

13 hr in 5 outs. Many projected 480 ft. Best show since Hamilton.

That was great.

I'm really enjoying these Pedro Gomez on the spot translated interviews

Even Bryce's dad brushes him back.

Here's Matt Harvey Asking New Yorkers What They Think Of Matt Harvey

"Chris Berman makes the home run derby so much more enjoyable," said nobody, ever.

 

Seeing Cespedes' swing makes me wish Frank Thomas would work with Viciedo . Is it just me or does Viciedo's swing seem choppy like he's hacking ? He needs more of an uppercut swing.
