Baseball in a speedway... seems like an awful viewing experience for the fans.

I'm going to it, don't know how high my seats are, but at least there is a concert before the game.

Why?

Misorowski being in the all star game is a joke

Wasn't able to watch, how did the robo ump thing go ?

16 K and 5 BB total seem kinda on the low end

Fairly non-eventful, but there was 1 ball changed to a strike that resulted in a strikeout. 

I'm still not a fan unless it's going to be used for every pitch.

Tie game.

And another now.  Striking a batter out via challenge is really anti-climactic.

Only in an AS game youll see a closer smiling and laughing after giving up 2 runs in the 9th to tie the game...lol

[chibears55]

Lmao, is this the new tie breaker, a HR contest  😅😅😅😅

[Coach C]

Schwarbs 3 for 3.

 

And that determines the winner.

Holy horsefeathers, Schwarbs 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ok, that was kind of awesome.

[cl smooth]

That was horsefeathers awesome. Massive W for MLB.

[Nolansomebody]

It took a gimmick to win, but the National is better than the American. As it should be.

[KatJ]

Schwarbombs FTW! ::happy sigh::

We all knew Schwarber would help the Cubs win another WS.

You realize this doesn’t determine home field in the World Series any more, right?

[JHBulls]

I didn’t think it would be possible to like Matthew Boyd more.

Yeah, I can't disagree with that.  I think if you were watching it in person, it would be a very cool event, but it is really difficult to follow the path of the balls on TV with the camera bouncing all over.

The camera work for the HR Derby and the NHL skills competitions have been bad to the point that it has turned me off of watching. Who exactly does it appeal to?

[Hot Sauce]

The swing-off was fun. I miss you Kyle! 🥲

I thought it did. What does now?

 

edit: Ok it’s regular season record.
