2014-07-15 All Star Game: NL (Wainwright) at AL (Hernandez), 7:00 PM CDT [AL 5, NL 3]

[dlk9s]

In all the disappointment about the Brewers' struggles the last couple weeks, it's so cool to see an All-Star game like tonight.

 

I'm on vacation right now and as much as I enjoyed getting to stroll on the beach with my wife and kids after dinner, I was a little upset I missed the All-Star intros. I explained to my wife that when I was a kid, that was my favorite part of the game because that was often the only time I got to see our one and only All-Star.

 

What a difference today. Three guys starting, two get multiple hits, one coming out of the bullpen and throwing a shutout inning. The little kid in me doesn't know what to think.

Brewers: 4-7, 1 Run, 2 RBIs. 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER.

 

The Keepers of Baseball Etiquette: 1.1 IP, 6 H, 5 ER. The rest of the NL pitchers have allowed 1 hit and no runs in 4.2 IP...though that was a pretty play by Gordon/Freeman to get K-Rod through hitless.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I think the Brewers boys have really acquitted themselves well tonight. Gomez whiffed a few times, but he had a nice grab, and got to show off the hose a few times. Luc and Rami with 2 hits each, K-Rod with a scoreless inning......

 

Gomez looks like he's just stoked as all get out to just be there.

[wildcat83]

Scoreless inning for KRod. Pretty good showing for the Crew.

Luc's name on the game summary graphic joining three biggest giants of the game in Jeter, Trout, and Cabrera. Gotta love it.

[Bombers]

Glad to see the Brewers show up today.

Vote Luc for MVP : http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/all_star/y2014/mvp/ballot.jsp?tcid=EngRD-mvpballot-2014

55 degrees here in Milwaukee, National game, Buck calling game on Fox, commercials about MLB playoffs; feels like October! ... Here is to hoping we get some déjà vu of the Brew Crew tearing it up again come October.

[wildcat83]

Ok, showing and talking about Jeter being an interested spectator is taking it a smidge far. There are some quality match ups taking place.

Every time I see Fernando Rodney pitch, I dislike him a bit more.

Every time I see Fernando Rodney pitch, I dislike him a bit more.

I agree. The sideways hat, the bow and arrow after the strike out. The unorthodox delivery. Just not a fan.

[AZBrewCrew]

Wainwright pretty much admitted to throwing Jeter some pitches. How would Chris Carpenter explain that to his son?

[wildcat83]

Wainwright admits to reporters he threw a meat pitch to Jeter to let him get a hit. GARBAGE!

Wouldn't be a big deal at all if the All-Star game didn't mean anything.

[AZBrewCrew]

Nice damage control there

No, what's GARBAGE, is that he threw him the pitches, and only after he gives up the 3 runs and costs his team the game does he come out and ADMIT that he did that basically taking credit away from Jeter and the blame away from himself.

 

 

I just can't stand the entire organization.

 

I don't have any issue with grooving a pitch for Jeter or for Ripken...but shut up after the fact.

[sauveb]

Adam Wainwright, not so classy.

[HiAndTight]

Wainwright admits to reporters he threw a meat pitch to Jeter to let him get a hit. GARBAGE!

 

Wouldn't be a big deal at all if the All-Star game didn't mean anything.

 

 

Totally disagree. It'd still be a big deal because of how big of a clown Wainwright looks like now.

It's even worse to admit you did it, you throw Jeter under the bus by saying it. Now tried to back track.

[gypcasino]

It's social media's fault.

[AZBrewCrew]

Chapman got hurt on that last out last inning as well. He came up limping

[wildcat83]

Chapman came up gimpy trying to cover. NL Central sure has the injury bug.

Who cares how big of a clown Wainwright looks like? It has no bearing on anything.

Well, I won't be listening to talk radio or watching any sports networks for the next few days. I cannot imagine how much this topic is going to be beat to death in what is probably the slowest day or two of sports for the year.

[young guns]

Sure was an interesting Derek Jeter. Im sure glad our Derek Jeters played well in the Derek Jeter. Its a shame that Derek Jeter put us in a hole early by giving up 3 Derek Jeters in the first Derek Jeter(but at least he was classy enough to admit he was grooving balls in for Jeter, so its not his fault he sucked). Showed some good fight coming back to tie the Derek Jeter, but the Derek Jeters proved too tough and won Derek Jeter to Derek Jeter. Probably for the best anyway since our Derek Jeters have played better on the Derek Jeter so far this Derek Jeter anyway. Derek Jeter.

[AZBrewCrew]

Joe Buck has quite the man crush on Derek Jeter. At least Trout got the MVP. I think if the NL had won, Lucroy may have been in line to win
