McCarver and Buck are both horrible.


Couple nice plays by Votto, helping to secure homefield advantage for either Atlanta or Philadelphia.

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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.
