Speaker 1 (00:03):
Two weeks away or ten days away or so from
the All Star weekend or All Star festivities for baseball.
For baseball, it'll be Monday the fourteenth for home run derby.
That's something I don't care about. The All Star Game.
I'll watch or at least have on in the background,
especially with nothing else on TV these days.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
M Live, please, that's not happening. He gave me this
look of like, ask a serious question.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, I'm not watching live. That's not even real golf.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
You could do what we're doing right now and just
reliving old golf highlights.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well, it will be let's see the fourteenth. Actually, I'm
not here on the fourteenth, so I don't have to
talk about it. That's one of my days off and
I'll be traveling that day, so oh, I won't have
to watch it. Okay, So that the fifteenth is the
All Star Game, and I will probably pay attention to
that for a little bit. But here's where we're still
(00:56):
winning the National League outfield. But here's what it looks
like in the American League. Vladimir Guerrero at first Labor Torres,
who used to play for the Yankees now with the Tigers,
is a second, Jacob labor Day, Jacob Williams from the
A's is it short? Jose Ramirez from the Guardians is
at third, and their designated hitter is O'Hearn Ryan O'Hearn
(01:17):
from the Orioles, and the al autfield is Riley Green,
Javier Baez and of course Aaron Judge. I don't see
anybody on there that got slided. Jose l two amen,
the captain. Has he even played in every game this year?
I don't know, to be honest, he's played well. I
mean he may be a real he'll probably be a reserve.
(01:39):
Everybody gets to have representation on the team.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I am a little concerned because I saw earlier today
that oh nice, all of my stuff just rebooted, that
actually updated.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Sorry, I've been in the midst.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
People of two hours trying to get a new company
laptop set up, and it finally just now re re
initialized everything so I don't have to go through the
help dest to try to redo like forty things that
I had on this laptop. That being said, for the Astros,
I saw that they designate or not designated, well, yeah, designated.
(02:13):
Jordan Alvarez the slug slug home run hitter. My my daddy,
your daddy, because he is everybody's your daddy. To the
sixty day. I l he had a I think broken
wrist or had a setback in risk recovery.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So but they've been playing well surprisingly to me. Well,
I think the American League, and not to take anything
away from the Astros, I don't think the American League West.
The A's are a little bit better than we thought
they would be, but they're still the A's. The Angels
are awful, the Mariners should be better than they are,
but I think the Astros are still the best team
when it comes to that. All right, here's what we
(02:56):
know about the National League. Freddie Freeman at first base. Yeah,
I think this is and I didn't realize his until
I looked at his numbers. But katel Marte, who was
heckled by the fan the other day and chastise basically
it was a derogatory comment made about his mother and
catel Partey's mother passed away in a traffic accident and
(03:17):
the Dominican about five or six years ago. Katel Parte
is going to be at second to Francisco Lindor from
the Mets. In short, everybody's favorite. Manny Machado is at
third base, our favorite, right, we love we love us
some Manny Machado. Andy will Smith is going to be
the catcher, and the outfield is going to be uh Acunya,
(03:39):
Ronald Acunya. Kyle Tucker. No, there you go, John? Why?
Of course? So, of course when he's not an astro.
Of course, when he's not an astro. So Kyle Tucker
gets his first All Star selection. He had to leave
Houston to be able to get that. Ronald Acunya. And
of course, uh oh, they got Pete Crow Armstrong is
(04:01):
the starter one. Soto did not get the proper number
of votes.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Andy Andy made the team and he's gonna be an
All Star. Not me, Yeah no Andy Page.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
No, it's not pronounced Page, it's it's it's a Cuban name.
It's I don't even try, it's pause piaz. I believe.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well, he didn't get enough votes? How how does Juan
Soto not get enough votes? How does he not get
enough votes? Is that just a Is this the okay?
Let me ask the dumb question first? How do they
establish the votes? Is it like how the NDIA? Is it?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Players and fan voting. Yeah, it's fan voting. So it's
just fans. So Pete Crow Armstrong got as a Cubs outfielder,
uh and he outlasted uh Juan Soto for that. For that,
So that's so interesting. That's that's interesting. So so is
not having the year that he should have had and
if he had, if he had been a Yankee, he
(04:58):
would have actually probably gotten vote. But he's still He's
still Juan Soto. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I mean trying to think of random like in the
East Coast, like Joel Embiid, you know, might not have
had the greatest of year, but he still would have
gotten a million votes because you know, he's Joel Embiid.
Steph Curry would have still gotten a million votes even
if he was in a wheelchair. You know, as long
as he has the Golden State Warriors logo on his chest,
(05:24):
people are still going.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
To vote for him.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I can't like, how does Juan Soto not make it,
but everybody's favorite Manny Machado, d Bag make it. That's
the biggest How does many Machado make it, but Juan
Soto makes it. The only thing I can think of
is all those San Diego Padres fans actually voted for one.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Well they did. Yeah, that's that's clearly that because sometimes
even if you uh don't particularly like a player and
he plays for your team, you forgive his transgressions enough
to be able to vote for him. I guess that man. Well,
So anyway, the Dodds yours outfielder that has his last
name that looks like it's pages p A g E s.
(06:05):
It's pronounced yes, And according to according to Ed Suarez,
who is our sideline reporter for UTSA games, yes he
is a Cuban sensation, which is just saying something redundantly.
I don't get that Cuban sensation. You can leave it.
He's from Cuba and it is from Cuba. Heritage is Cuban. Okay,
(06:25):
so he often says he's a Cuban sensation, but that
saying that somebody is Cuban and a sensation is redundant.
Everybody sensational, Okay, okay, joke, Yes, sorry, that dad joke
went over my head a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Not a dad Shane probably Shane was just okay, so good.
I'm not the only one. Awesome, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So anyway, the All Star, the Baseball All Star game,
to me, is the only All Star game that really
is worth watching. Why because it's actually some semblance of
a real game that the pitcher only pitches two innings max.
Instead of five or six to get the win. But
outside of that, it's they actually, you know, throw the ball,
(07:11):
hit the ball, catch the ball. It's not you can't
blitz when we used to have the Pro Bowl. Uh.
And if the ball is hit to the shortstop, he's
not gonna olay it because because he doesn't want to
get hurt or get catch a line drive. It's not
like the NBA where we're gonna let somebody have an
uncontested path to the basket and score two hundred points
in an All Star game, and typically the final score
(07:33):
is like, you know, seven to six or something like that.
So it's basically the closest version to a real game
that you can possibly get, and to me, that's that
makes it the best of all the games. It's actually
worth watching. I can't say that any of the other
All Star games are that a hockey.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Hockey man, I don't four thirteen second, but I don't
know that we're going to have a hockey All Star
Game next year because most of the hockey players have
been cleared to play in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
They'll figure it out, all right. We got one more
segment to go. We wrap up the day. Next it's
the Indie average show on the ticket
