That was awesome.

The home run distances were awful. Prince's 1st HR went 483 (not arguing) but Harper hit one about 5 rows less and 20 feet over and said it was 397.

Cespedes kept hitting the 3rd deck for about 408 and his bottom deck shots were 425+.....even though each deck is farther from the plate and about 25 feet (each) higher.

The shot to win it was dead on Bo Jackson ASG homer.

Good to see that Justin's friend is there with his Tim McCarver spray on hair color.

I wouldn't exactly call that "awesome"

I found myself to be pretty bored during that

I'm not a huge baseball guy but can't wait for that. Really hope the Dunner gets to be in that home run Derby.

Rickey!

Mike Gallego and Rickey Henderson in the same stadium again.....with my favorite Rickey-ism. After Rickey's 1990 MVP season he was asking for more money and the A's came back and low balled him and his reply....." If you gonna pay me like Mike Gallego, I'm gonna play like Mike Gallego"....lol and that was his teammate.

It's all good....I was speaking for me.

It takes too damn long but I could watch Cespedes all day.

Radio talk was discussing this today and it got me thinking. Who is the best player in the game at each position (at this moment)?

My list:

C - Yadier Molina
1B - Chris Davis
2B - Robinson Cano
3B - Miguel Cabrera
SS - Jean Segura
LF - Mike Trout
CF - Adam Jones
RF - Michael Cuddyer

SP - Clayton Kershaw
RP - Craig Kimbrel

I honestly don't know OF positions for the NL that well. So I looked it up, Cuddy was listed as RF and CarGo was listed as LF. Is that not correct?

The broadcast is already insufferable

Oh lets have Joe Torre on to talk about how the Brooklyn Dodgers left for Cali.

Then we'll do a special interview with Mariano Rivera!

Then we'll get Joe Buck and McCarver to talk about Rivera in his last ASG!

Oh it's Tom Seaver remember he pitched in 2 ASG for NY, and now Harvey will pitch in an ASG for NY! omg!

Tom Seaver is no spring chicken, but that first pitch was fucking terrible.

That's how I felt as well. My wife was like that dude used to be a pitcher?

Also sad to see Cano have to leave the game.

Way to pull it together Harvey, got a little nervous after the first two batters. Kid is nasty! Nice to see Citi packed, can't wait for the Mets to turn that elusive corner ...

Votto watches strike 1 and strike 3 with the bat resting on his shoulder.

The guy is so enamored with trying to take walks sometimes that it's quite annoying.
