    Wish this applied to Moncada and the Yanks could have a do over...

    That is some shady shit.
    must be something in the water in Boston that their pro teams like to ignore rules.

    You think this is the first time this has been done?
    Probably not but I follow a lot of baseball and have never heard any thing of the sort. So dirty
    Thers been shady shit going on with these young International players forever.

    Maybe one way to solve this , is to have a draft that involves the International players too? (The NBA & the NHL, the NHL!! can do it, then why not MLB?) Why the draft is restricted to North America & Puerto Rico, makes no sense to me. Plus, i don't think that MLB should let teams sign 16 & 17 year old kids anyway.

    I mean, every team is building academies is the Dominican, I am sure there is a bunch of back room stuff. But that's bad...

    I agree on the draft. American players get screwed.

    that's the same argument Pats fans use each time they've been punished.

    Would anyone really be opposed to a designated runner for the catcher and the pitcher when there are 2 outs? If the designated hitter is still allowed, why not a runner for the catcher and pitcher? It would speed up the game a little.

    How does Trevor story not get picked to the all star game? Obviously Russell shouldn't be the starter, but he is. But to leave story off is crazy. It screws up the last 5 vote. What's crazy is that Starlin marte is as good as any. But he may not get in.

    Injuries will almost assuredly allow for some of these snubs to get in.

    So much for the argument earlier about Cubs having top pitching staff in baseball.

    Updated stats:
    Cubs
    Arrieta: 12-4 with a 2.68 ERA, 114 innings pitched
    Lester: Lester 9-4 with a 3.01 ERA, 110 innings pitched
    Lackey: 7-5 with a 3.5 ERA, 110 innings pitched

    Giants
    MadBum: 9-4 with 2.09 ERA, 120 innings pitched
    Cueto: 13-1 with a 2.47 ERA , 131 innings pitched
    Shark: 9-5 with a 3.91 ERA, 117 innings pitched

    With Kershaw out, Cueto should get NL start in all star game. Leading the NL in wins and 3rd now in ERA (behind Kershaw and MadBum).

    I was very impressed with the AAA stadium for the Durham Bulls. Have you been impressed with other AAA stadiums?

    very little star power in the HR derby.

    SLC's AAA stadium is pretty nice.

    I have actually not been to a AAA, but the AA ones have been OK.

    I love the Derby, thumbs down to all of the haters. Want to see Stanton hit balls out to Coronado.

    I love minor league baseball stadiums. Grew up going to the Binghamton Mets and have tons of nostalgia for those small parks.

    I have been to a bunch. Binghamton, Durham (agreed, it's awesome), Trenton Thunder, Wilmington Blue Rocks, Camden Riversharks (love it). I am sure there are a couple others than I am blanking on.

    I like Campbell's Field. Backdrop of the Ben Franklin Bridge is pretty cool.

    I was concerned for those little kids and the people in the first several rows every time Stanton screamed a line drive their direction.
  • F Me In The BrainF Me In The Brain Posts: 31,221
    Yeah the Stanton power display was impressive.
    The 11 yr old asked, upon seeing Berman on screen, "Is that Pete Rose?"
    I laughed.
    He asked why that was funny.
    I told him that other than being overweight and having sad hair that they had little in common.
    He pointed out that this was a lot to have in common.

    I thought ESPN fired Berman after the sexual harassment mess. Fucking ESPN.

    Stanton was a beast. I do not like the home run competition as it takes too long but did not miss his last 2 rounds after his first.

    If Berman wasn't such a douchey shmuck, I would've felt sorry for him last night. A few times he set up his own punch lines and it was pretty awkward. Once upon a time he was pretty entertaining.

    oh great.....media whore jose fernandez (see: his act during HR Derby) says he will groove three fastballs to fellow media whore Big Sloppi. of course, hernandez' shitty marlins team is unlikely to need home field advantage in the WS. if I'm terry collins, hernandez does not get the chance :angry:

    For a team as young as the Marlins they're not playing that badly with 47 wins. I might drive down and see a game there's always plenty of room to sit just about anywhere in that stadium.

    Btw why are the NL Allstars squad playing in road uniforms?
