How old are you? If you wait til they're in the playoffs, you might never get to see them live again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They each hit their drives on the first hole and Smoltz smoked one past his. Foxworthy said Smoltz nonchalantly asked him if he heard about the new mall they were building around here. Foxworthy goes, oh yeah? Where at? Smoltz says, somewhere between my ball and yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see his other ones, but his grand slam today wasn't a cheap one. Left center and quite a few rows up. I also read that since Statcast started tracking in 2015, he's hit the hardest ball by any Red's player when he hit one 116.5 mph on a single earlier this month. He's having one hell of a run.

Leathernecks Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Blake Snell might be the biggest All Star snub in recent memory. Leading the AL in ERA, 8th in strikeouts, 8th in WHIP, 2nd in wins. He should definitely be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may make it as a final vote, but he has better numbers than every DH and OF that made it as a reserve in the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read that a big reason Snell and Benintendi didn't make it was due to numbers. Some teams didn't really have anybody deserving so their best player took spots from those guys. That's why we get Choo, Brantley, and Joe Jimenez instead of Snell and Benintendi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Yount was the AL MVP, but yet wasn't on the AS team. As a matter of fact the HoFer played 20 years, but only appeared in the AS game 3 times? Wow.

Only thing that is a little odd is doing it not before All Star Break but with 1 game left before break. Could have made the same move tomorrow. Probably shows how fractured that whole operation is. Assume Girardi will eventually be named coach but if I'm him...I make sure the whole team/front office is on same page. Joe's been down that road before with Yankees. Doesn't want to do it again.
