2019 All Star Game Break Thread

[DT LUNA]

MLB balls are juiced and theses HR derby balls are juiced for sure, No chance these guys beat Hamilton's record if not for these balls.

Had to quit watching. Not so much fun anymore.

I wish the All star break was a full week.

I can’t believe we all have a game to watch Thursday night.

I always ignore the all star crap.

Why would you want a week with no baseball?

Verlander was quite vocal in this:

The article also mentions MLB bought Rawlings a few years back. I did not know that.

I bet Manfred cannot wait until Thursday.

Yes Sir and the ASG is a snoozer as usual. Just waiting to see Joey.

Guessing Don can see the ASG.

I would think Choo(yes we would have to pay a huge chunk of his remaining salary), but I have thought that before and they didn"t. I would like to see Calhoun, Heineman, and Santana get a lot of playing time after the trade deadline.

I don't think Cabrera or Forsythe bring back much. Pence should bring back a decent return. Minor, if he isn't hurt, should bring back a whole lot, more than we have gotten in a trade in a long time.

Maybe a relief pitcher or two as well.

I wouldn't hold my breath though. I don't know if they are completely sold out to the rebuilding plan.

First, DAMN GOOD POST OF ADDRESSING THE ISSUES........

Choo seems to be for me, a 'no brainer' but I've thought this for several seasons. How's that worked out so far?...............100% with ya on Cabrera/Forsythe.

I do think we - us fans and regardless of team - think WAY to singularly......Packaging is the 'devil-in-the-details..........Put Choo with Minor and the equation changes completely..........Team A needs a solid 2nd/3rd line starter or better and could use a solid hitter/part time OF/pinch hitter, and team B has both. Team A has a loaded farm system, therefore......etc etc.......Y'all know where I'm going with this.

Better guess would be Don doesn't care so much.....ha ha ha

Gallo out in the field for a full half inning and the clown Joe Buck doesn’t even mention him.

Just as long as we don't get back less by adding Choo to the mix.

The clown Buck just acknowledged his presence due to a flyout to Gallo

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Joey did not give Joe Buck a chance to trash talk him or the Rangers. Lol.
