6/24 Jays @ SOX 7:10 PM ET

[Old Red]

To me the best thing about the AS game is the break itself. I usually don't even watch it. However, if Duran and Houck are involved, I will watch it until they're no longer in the game.

Houck deserves to be there, but Houck could use the break.

Jansen's stats: 15 saves with only one blown save. 2.30 ERA. 1.04 WHIP.

Jansen is also 3-1 with his win tonight.

You, and others are always under the condition this team should be sellers for the last three years. Before, during, and after each season. You don’t know nothing else. Remember this season was a Sham,Sham, Sham.

Step one: remove stick from butt

Step two: enjoy a win for once

Attendance tonight 35,856. On a Monday night against a team that is sliding backwards.

Sure looks to me like I was dead wrong about Sox fans. They don't need names, they just want a team that's found out how to win--good hitting, good pitching (with occasional slip-ups), not so good defense, and some pretty good baserunning.

Now it's time for Sox fans to do some ASG voting. Duran for sure. Wong. Maybe Devers. Houck to start the ASG. Duran's big roadblock are the Yankee's Judge and Soto with OPS's of 1.108 and .994.

Houck deserves to be there, but Houck could use the break.

I'm sure every contending team's manager feels as you do. They want their ACE resting and not in some meaningless game.

Two words are worth a 1000 pictures.

You do have a way with words.

Of course this meaningless game brings in big bucks, so enough said.

I don't care to even watch the game, but I like seeing the Sox players get rewarded for great play and like seeing them get the accomplishment of "all star" on their resumes. Especially for guys like Duran, Houck and Wong, who have never made it before.

Duran is one cool dude.

That is just horsehockey. I know some players might think that way, but in fact pitchers rarely go more than 1 IP in the ASG and the players not more than 3 innings.

Plus the ASG, unlike the one for the NBA, which is a joke, and the NFL, where no good players go, the MLB ASG is real baseball. The hitters are trying to hit and the pitchers are trying to get them out and the fielders are fielding up a storm.

No doubt, the AS game is a showcase for players like Houck, Duran and Wong, who are probably unknown to most non-SOX fans.

I don’t think talking about being sellers on a daily basis is enjoying anything. Selling is for losers, and the shoe must fit more than one on here.🙈🤭🤮

McGuire may be Houck's personal catcher. I know they usually work well together.

Fine with me, but I'll bet that catcher interference, which is what started the Jays 5 run rally, really torqued Cora. He pulled McGuire the next inning.

I was referring to the managers, not the players themselves. And now that it doesn't determine which team gets home field advantage in the WS ( a really stupid thing) it is a meaningless game.

Yoshida 2 clean singles.
