  McCarver and Buck are both horrible.
  
  
  Couple nice plays by Votto, helping to secure homefield advantage for either Atlanta or Philadelphia.

  Lol at Votto's first play....nice play to end the inning.

  Kershaw has such a nasty curve.

  Rolen goes 0-2 w/ 2k's. That's what happens when a .250 hitter backs into the AS game.

  Also what happens when you face two of the nastiest relief pitchers in the AL.

  NL stealing like crazy off of this guy. Castro stealing 3rd may have helped the AL.

  Pineda struck him out on some nasty off speed mixed with a 96 mph fastball and then the Angels closer was hitting 99 and 100 mph on the gun and also gave Rolen an 84, 99, 86, 98 mixture

  If you like pitching this has been a pretty good/great game. I, however, tune into the ASG for some fireworks. C'mon guys.

  2 HR not bad in an all-star game...more to come!

  There better be or I want my money back. Darn it.

  Kimbrell finally gets the zero in the 7th, getting the final out on 14 pitches, with BP making the play from a very vulnerable position on that in-between hop!
• gorocks99

  

  Really solid effort tonight, AL :rolleyes:
• se-alum

  

  It's lookin' good for the Reds to have home field advantage in the World Series!!!

  Ok. I assume you meant relief pitchers for this game right? Cause Pineda is the #2 starter in Seattle, behind King Felix.
• mhs95_06

  Heath Bell sort of flaky - ought to be left handed!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Gamecast showed Bruce's called third strike waaayyyy outside...anyone still watching? Lol was it a bad call?
• mhs95_06

  Bruce victimized by a terrible strike 3 call on the 3-2 pitch - not even close!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Regardless, shitty showing by reds statistically tonight...probably a good thing. Do t want the Yanks and the sox to want them too bad lol
• mhs95_06

  Ugly play in the field by the NL gives a runner 1st and 2nd base, then another abortion of a play takes the double play out of the equation!
• Heretic

  

  Another reason to hate the Cubs -- Starlin Castro's shitty fielding marring Hanrahan's outing. Should have been a routine 2/3 inning before Bochy brought his guy (Beardman) to finish it.
