Whatever they were trying to accomplish begind the logo didn't work.

 

it's CHC the teams have their box score abbreviation down the left side

And it didn't work. At least not the Cubs version.

Those are so spectacularly terrible that they're interesting.

 

Not even in the same stratosphere as being good, but interesting.

 

I didnt think much of it until I realized that these weren't batting practice/HR derby jerseys, they are the actual jerseys they will wear during the game rather than their traditional uniforms. I can't remember the MLB ever having special ASG jerseys for the game...I always liked players in different uniforms playing on the same field, ugh.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Yikes. They're almost "weird but interesting" until you get to that trim on the sleeves, and then they lost me completely

 

 

it looks like a hibiscus floral pattern which is ....weird considering the all star game is in Denver

[minnesotacubsfan]

or it could be a columbine which would be totally appropriate

they look like soccer kits instead of baseball jerseys.

 

if they'd remove the red lettering, i would consider buying one.

 

edit: am i the only one getting "blue lives matter" vibes from the american flag on the sleeve?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Why wouldn't they just put each logo on separate breasts? That just looks dumb AF.

[Banedon]

At least they tried a thing, instead of just going with boring AF like the city connect ones did.

 

I agree they look like soccer kits.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I dont mind the floral sleeve or the soccer appearance, but I hate the hidden city name and the greyed out logo. white is good for home, but I think the away jerseys should be a light charcoal and the teams logo more prominent, like this:

as it is, in real time game action its going to be impossible to make out some of those logos

yea, I realize that is the case for the majority of the players. but for some players who I haven't seen play, especially from the east coast teams or say, Kansas City, I would have no idea who they were. besides its the All Star game, why not have the teams logo and the players name predominant?

I won't recognize 90% of the players. Of course, I also won't be watching the all star game because non-Cubs baseball is impossible for me to watch on television.

[We Got The Whole 9]

2 more for Schwarber. 12 in 15 games.

 

BTW its the 2nd inning

[minnesotacubsfan]

Real happy for the guy. Stunning it took him leaving the Cubs to prove Theo was right. Well, stunning and it horsefeathering blows

He’s two weeks into one of the hottest stretches in baseball history and as of this exact moment his OPS is 1 point higher than his season numbers in 2019. He did plenty of proving here.

That video got a legit belly laugh out of me. Holy isht.

[muntjack]

Two more for Schwarber so far tonight. JFC.

Sure his success may not last, but imagine him on the Cubs right now.

[muntjack]

So that's 12 HR in 13 games. For reference, Wisdom had 8 in his scalding 13-game run. And Schwarber is younger. And he was, ya know, already on the team. Sorry I'm still salty.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Eh, saltiness is going around it would appear

[OleMissCub]

This angle shows bad it really was. I’m looking forward to the inevitable Jomboy video of that

[We Got The Whole 9]

That's the 2nd worst defensive play of the year. I can feel the pitchers frustration.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Statcast says Ohtani's 116 mph line shot off the catwalk above the RCF bleachers in Tampa only went 453 feet.

 

I have my doubts. What a monster shot hooooly shiiiit
