And Sanchez didn’t make the All-Star game

Sanchez mows our boys down in the first inning

ESPN finally showing the real game although it’s starting late for some reason

They’re still showing the Little League game on ESPN and on ESPN2 it’s supposed to be the Statcast version

They’re actually showing a pregame on ESPN2

Just as a note of interest, the Chicago White Sox are 10–4 since the All-Star break, winning series against the Pirates, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, and the Angels.

Just to be safe because it’s so often an issue I checked all the driveway cams I could find in Philadelphia and I can safely say it’s not raining.

Sounds to me like the Yankees are due for a rebound.

Whoa!

Reading all of you discussing local Detroit media makes me feel kind of left out. I have very little knowledge of it. Having never lived in Detroit, and with the Tigers always being an exotic “fix“ obtained from a distance like Jasmine from the Orient, I wonder if my affection for the team would have been dulled by the ubiquity of it all if I’d lived in Detroit. Where I live in Boise Idaho everybody wears Boise State Bronco gear, especially on Saturdays in the fall, and though the team once meant a lot to me, even back then I would kinda roll my eyes and mockingly think “wow that’s really being edgy and unique” when each Saturday rolled around and Bronco flags were flapping from everybody’s pick up truck. For me, the Tigers have always been something unique, not something commonly accessible. Where I’ve lived for the last 38 years the Tigers are my secret pleasure, my secret vice. I might as well be a goth teen wearing all black in the 102° heat with piercings all over me. Being a Tigers fan out here makes me unique, and when I do meet people from Detroit out here we are able to share a bond that seems more valuable because of its rarity. And sharing this affection with the rest of you who grew up in Michigan only affirms this connection.

I tuned back into watch the bottom of the ninth of the Speedway Classic and De la Cruz came up with two on and no out and I was really looking forward to something dramatic but he struck out in the Reds lost the game. What an exciting player he is and only 23 years old wow.

I wish this were a normal game with a normal start time instead of a marquee Sunday night ESPN game. Waiting another four hours bugs me.

I didn’t realize it was that bad. He’s starting to feel all or nothing.

I just noticed that in the 4th the St. Paul Twins are defeating the Cleveland Guardians. For me this kind of scoreboard watching is more interesting than the race thing.

Getting closer to lightning while standing on a metal grating is a great idea.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this whole thing just seems like trying to mate a unicorn with a rhino.

They’re asking the guy who hit the home run what it was like to be the first person in human history to ever hit a home run in a racetrack. We’re watching history be made people!

This is the race track that circles the entire perimeter of the field

The baseball field at Bristol Motor Speedway for the Speedway Classic has the following dimensions: 330 feet down the left and right field lines, 400 feet to center field, 375 feet to the right field alley, and 384 feet to the left field alley

They just resumed the game and when the Braves hit a three run homer a race car circled beyond the outfield fence celebrating the home run.

On Facebook I jokingly quoted the guy that said this in the movie Office Space and I was sternly warned and threatened with apermanent ban if there was another “infraction.” For two weeks whenever I logged into my account I was reminded of what an uncivil and violent person I allegedly am. AI is not intelligent. It doesn’t understand humor, or context or irony. And Zuckerberg is claiming that he’s going to build an AI center as big as Manhattan to develop this “intelligence.“

He’s due for a dramatic regression.

Winning this game would be huge. There’s no way the Tigers could be considered the favorites for this game. Perhaps statistically they are due for some “pulling rabbits out of hats“ types of victories to make up for that bad string of 13 games.

I think this game might be exclusive to ESPN.
