Is it actually true that Park grooved the pitch for Cal?

Wainwright was hit hard by Miggy (HR) and Trout (Triple) too. Don't think he grooved those.

No it is "supposedly" true. Since the ASG didn't mean home field advantage back then people just claim that. To me Park was trying to get ahead in the count and threw a first pitch fastball. Cal came through in big spots his entire career, I can't stand the people that claim that.

Glad Trout got MVP.

Congrats on your AS game MVP Mike...now let me ask you about Derek Jeter. Geez can the slob fest be over with already?

And Trout the next Jeter? Haha...Jeter wishes he was Mike Trout. By the end of this season Mike Trout will probably have 30 rWAR...IN THREE SEASONS! Jeter will end up with probably 73 rWAR...in 20 seasons.

I wonder if after the lights go out in the studios, the broadcasters put their palms up to their foreheads and think, "Thank God its over.. I can stop referring to Jeter somehow in every other sentence."

Oh no, it's NOT over. TO make sure that "tonight was all about DJ," they now show a whole video about him. Can't stand it anymore--Goodbye Fox.

o

If Kershaw comes out of the game now, that will be too bad, because I would love to seen him strike out Derek Jeter.

I suspect that Kershaw is too proud to give a "freebie" to Jeter ....... or anyone else, for that matter.

You saying he got a freebie in the first?
He might have rabbit, he might have.

HE DID rabbit, HE DID.

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
