Bru10The baseball-to-extraneous-crap ratio is just so far out of whack this year on an unfathomable level.
PRuss6They set off enough fireworks to terrify every dog in Pennsylvania.
Calmed down3Why isn’t anyone doing backflips before catching the ball?
alexlessis3coming around to the idea of taking the worst qualifying pitchers in the league and pitting them against all the best hitters
It would’ve been cool to see and hear Brandon Marsh get a rousing ovation in his first All-Star game in his home park but instead we had to listen to Justin Verlander talk through a broken microphone in the dugout
Nancy Smith2I’m not sure how long I will last watching the game. The Fox announcers and the dugout miked up completely stinks. They never shut up.
Hip Model K1Broken mic is better than Rodriguez, Ortiz, and jeter. ‘Let’s put 3 guys - 2 of whom tested positive for steroids - who don’t like each other, and have them yuck it up like it’s a football bro pregame.’
Melissa Case1FWIW, he *did* get one. :)
m0n0cle.bsky.social1No surprise that Fox fucked this up.
These relievers are warlocks. Nobody can hit them. The All-Star Game would be more fun if they used the Nationals bullpen.
radically pro-transgender hate monger8Sorry best we can do is NATIONALS ACE FOSTER GRIFFIN 😤 hope you liked your 1-2-3 inning
The Medium Lebowski2This is a good idea. Also allow challenges on ball strike calls but only if the only one who can challenge is Jazz Chisholm
Micah205hitting the baseball was always the hardest thing in sports but it has somehow become significantly harder because the sport is now full of unholy demons who can throw wiffle balls at 99 miles an hour
Lenny Rubin6Don’t know why the Nats are catching strays from Joe Posnanski, but he’s not wrong! 🤣
Caitlin - Bring in the Dancing Lobsters4Tired: Brandon Lowe, Bryan Reynolds, Ryan O'Hearn, and/or Nick Gonzales should have been All-Stars Wired: Dennis Santana should have been an All-Star
Jonathan Feng3We already had the Home Run Derby
This MLB All-Star Game telecast seems devoted to the principle that the audience should have to spend as little time as possible paying attention to a baseball game.
David H. Montgomery3In 2026, what share of the MLB All-Star Game viewing audience are actually casual fans any more?
Bucklam2Sucks because baseball as a TV product is primed for a return the 3 hour games are perfect. Stop the blackout bs and cultivate fans.
Steve Quick2It's the "ads in the Superbowl " and "red carpet fashion at the Oscars" thing, where, trying to get every possible viewer, they ignore the event itself.
Drew Corbett1The fact that the player interviews have been inaudible has been a huge bummer. It seemed like they were legitimately annoying the players. And the announcers have not had nearly enough to talk about to cover for it
unpersoned.bsky.social1I'm actually pissed off that I wasted my time watching it. Only did it because two of my team's players were voted in, then one didn't get to play; the other got almost 0 🖥️time because the announcers were too busy yapping to focus on the fact that there was a ballgame happening in front of them. 🤬🤬🤬
Philip C. Sedgwick1Glad to know my reaction to the game wasn't just me. Between the derby on Netflix and this shit coverage of a game... can't wait to get back to a good old-fashioned D-Backs game with old school references and attention to the game.
Junior Caminero is headed to get X-rays at Citizens Bank Park with a Phillies doctor.
Catherine Tinker21riley o’brien it’s on sight
