MLBAll Star Baseball Game 2025

Well I missed the early innings when NL jumped out to 6-0 lead.
Caught AL scoring and tribute to Hank Aaron.

AL is waking up.
Opening my eyes to lots of young talent for Detroit, Seattle, also Corbin Carroll for Dbacks…

Do you have a favorite player in
tonight’s game?


I really hope the NL doesn’t blow this.

Nice to see Mrs. Aaron in the crowd.

Not sure I care for challenges to balls and strikes with an automated review…

Donovan is out?? Guess he should have run it out…. What is that?? Should have had Olson up…

But we get to watch the first ever pitch off. It’s like another home run derby!

Nice job by Schwarber. Not easy to hit three in a row. Was it fun as a fan in person? The players seemed to love the swing off.

SCHWARBER all the way :slight_smile:

Some folks I talked to today wondered if he did that on purpose to send the game to the pitch-off. Thoughts??

I just saw that on YouTube today - what an AWESOME presentation - how did they do the projections? There is no dome or cover!

I’m a traditionalist. Didn’t like the Bat-off. (and don’t like teh Ghost runner). Since ~11 All Stars chose not to even show up, it was a game of the backups to the All Star’s.

'Grats to Schwarber

btw: rumor is that several starters left the game early, including Shohei, and were not even around for the Bat Off.

So hard to check swing a bunt, let alone that bit Donovan did, I doubt ot was on purpose.

Not sure how they did it, but there sure were a lot of drones flying around

Meh. Baseball can be too long and too slow. This added excitement and kept fans in their seats.

As a kid in the 60s-early 70s the All Star game was a must-see. Growing up in an AL market, the NL teams were pictures in the paper and teams in standings. My cousin and I would always get together and watch the game to see these NL players we would almost never see on TV, except for the NBC(?) Game of the Week.

Cable and interleague play and growing up, probably, have taken the magic out of the All Star Game.

I am also not a fan of the Bat Off or Ghost Runner. Hats off to Shwarber, but I was miffed that it came to that, because my guy Polar Bear would have been MVP otherwise.
