Well, Steve, we're just a little over a week away
from the twenty twenty five Major League Baseball All Star Game,
which will take place in Atlanta. It'll be one week
from tomorrow night, July fifteenth, eight o'clock on Fox, and
we knew last Wednesday before we left you for the
All Star weekend, the starting lineups revealed and the Tigers
had three starters for the American League sign Well, pitching

(03:02):
staffs and reserves were announced yesterday. Now they can change
due to injury or whatever. But the good news is
the LA Dodgers lead all teams with five selections. Right
behind them your Detroit Tigers, with the best record in
baseball at fifty seven and thirty four. This morning, they
have four All Stars, as do the Seattle Mariners. The
Cubs have three, so Trek Scouba was added as a

(03:24):
starting pitcher for the American League side of things, and
might get the start. They haven't announced too the starting
pitchers are going to be. And then for the Cubs,
remember they have two outfitters that are starting for the
National League. Matthew Boyd made the list as the third Cup,
so congratulations to all those players. It's can be a
lot of fun. Then you have the Futures Game with
those white Caps who just got promoted yesterday to double

(03:44):
a eerie starting tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
We talked a couple of weeks ago, and I can't
remember what happens when either side wins. What's the incentive
behind the All Star Game? Is there anything left?

Speaker 4 (03:56):
There's no more incentive from what I understand, So it's
just used to be. Remember you'd have home field advantage
for that league's representative in the World Series.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
So now it's just spotlighting great players and selling hot dogs.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
It's the All Star Classics.
