TRIPLE-A ALL-STAR GAME RETURNS TO NATIONAL TELEVISION, RADIO & INTERNET

Triple-A Baseball announced today that the 28th annual Triple-A All-Star Game will be televised live on MLB Network on Wednesday, July 15 at 7 p.m. CST. The announcing team of Paul Severino, Bill Ripken, John Manuel, and Sam Ryan will bring the action to viewers nationwide. The game will be available to MiLB.TV subscribers live online at MiLB.com and on most Apple devices via the MiLB First Pitch app, and will also be available for live, authenticated streaming via MLB.com At Bat and MLBNetwork.com. The American Forces Network will also showcase the event, bringing MLB Network?s telecast of the Triple-A All-Star Game to the U.S. Armed Forces stationed outside the contiguous United States on U.S. military installations and aboard U.S. Navy ships at sea.

The First National Bank 2015 Triple-A All-Star Game, presented by Gildan, will take place at Werner Park in Omaha, Nebraska. The game has been telecast nationally for most of its 28-year history, including every season since 1995, and 2015 will mark the sixth time the Triple-A All-Star Game has aired on MLB Network since 2010.

Returning for a fourth-straight year handling play-by-play duties on the telecast will be Paul Severino, who regularly hosts the Emmy Award-winning "MLB Tonight". For the past four years, Severino provided play-by-play for Arizona Fall League game telecasts on MLB Network, including the Rising Stars Games and Championship Games.

12-year Major League infielder Bill Ripken will serve as an analyst for the Triple-A All-Star Game. Ripken's MLB playing career began with Baltimore in 1987 under the direction of his father, Cal Ripken, Sr., and alongside his brother Cal Ripken, Jr., marking the first and only time in Major League history that a father simultaneously managed two of his sons. In addition to the Orioles, Ripken also played for Texas, Cleveland, and Detroit. He is also a veteran of over 200 games at the Triple-A level with Rochester, Buffalo, and Toledo. He currently appears across MLB Network's programming as a studio analyst.

Joining Severino and Ripken in the booth will be John Manuel, the Editor-in-Chief of Baseball America, who has previously appeared on the 2014 and 2009 Triple-A All-Star Game telecasts. Manuel covers college baseball, minor league prospects and the draft, and has also served as a part-time color analyst for Durham Bulls broadcasts.

Returning to serve as field reporter for her fourth Triple-A All-Star Game telecast is the Emmy Award-winning Sam Ryan. The MLB Network studio host and reporter frequently appears on programming including "MLB Network Showcase" game telecasts and the MLB Network's highlights show of record, "Quick Pitch."

Mark Nasser, play-by-play voice of the Omaha Storm Chasers, along with Pete Michaud from the Norfolk Tides, will call the action for this year?s broadcast on the Triple-A All-Star Game Radio Network. Nasser is in his 15th season as Omaha?s radio broadcaster and was named one of the Top Ten broadcasters in Minor League Baseball by Baseball America. Michaud has been behind the mic for the Tides since 2007 and is a two-time recipient of the Hampton Roads? Most Outstanding Sports Broadcaster Award, presented by the Chesapeake Athletic Club. Nasser and Michaud will both be broadcasting the first Triple-A All-Star Games of their careers.

    • Another possibility: If you win game 1, maybe you don't ptich Eflin in Game 2 and try to win Game 2 without using him.   I mean, worst that can happen is you lose and have Eflin for game 3 anyway.   So you won't lose the wild card series without pitching your two best. But you COULD win the wild card series without your two best, and then you would have Eflin and Burnes lined up for games 1 and 2 in Cleveland
    • I like Law a lot, but that is a beyond asinine comment about not playing every day on a playoff team. You know how many playoff teams would slot him in the lineup immediately every game? Answer: the large majority. The Yankees would take Cowser over Verdugo The Tigers might not put him in over Greene/Meadows/Carpenter, but they’d DH him over their options. Cowser would start over every outfielder for the Royals, IMHO. He’d start over Meyers and Dubon for the Astros. The Guardians would probably start him over anybody not named Kwan in the OF, tbh.  I can keep going.
    • Even more of a reason to like FG over BBref,  tbh. Thanks, didn’t realize they switched this year. My point re: FIP is that I rather prefer it over RA/9, not to say it’s perfect. RA/9 treats all runs allowed by a pitcher the same regardless of them being earned or unearned. So, a pitcher on a team with a terrible defense is going to be judged much more harshly than somebody that pitches on a top tier defense. Not to mention the bullpen taking over mid inning dilemma. The funny thing is in your example re: FIP, RA/9 would have the first pitcher but love the second. Either way, these stats, like nearly all single solitary stats, aren’t best taken alone.  For your example, let’s say Pitcher A allowed weak contact and the defenders just had poor range, poor arms, whatever, but in the second example the defenders had great range and great arms making amazing plays to prevent any damage…then what?  Anyways, give me FIP over RA/9 was my point. But if you want to truly assess a pitcher, you’re going to need a few complimentary stats to go along with it.  
    • Really zooming the microscope in on one game with Tarik Skubal, would you consider batting Austin Slater 3rd or 4th to basically pinch hit in the 1st inning, and then replace him in LF with Cowser in the top of the 2nd inning. A tactic that might look good to the SIGBOT but could freak out actual ballplayers.
    • It would make sense. I think there are four possibilities for not announcing Eflin yet: 1. It’s going to be Eflin, we’re just waiting to announce to make it harder for Tigers/Royals to prepare. 2. Hyde and FO are discussing whether to slot Eflin for game 3 to possibly save him for ALDS game 1. 3. Hyde and FO are discussing a possible opener strategy for game 2. 4. Eflin has some minor aches/pains/soreness so we’re delaying the announcement to make sure he will be healthy enough. 
    • I can see the arguments for and against.  Gunnar may have had an opinion.  
    • I know I've been a Oriole critic these last few months but many of us have and deservedly so but congrats are really in order for a team that was decimated with injuries especially the pitching staff and still found a way to 90 wins and the playoffs. The first Orioles team with back to back 90 plus wins since the 1982, 1983  teams. Wow.  That's hard to believe. Also back to back playoff teams something the Machado, Jones, Markakis and Wieters led teams couldn't even pull off.
