Molina and Navarro both made it for their defense.

I'm watching an All Star game James... not a baseball mechanics instructional video.

And hes an All Star for his defensive play.

Defense is part of the game of baseball.

Yeah, but its not really a game that means anything though...

Its not like Molina is gonna give 100% effort out there, just coast like the rest of the individuals.

Whoever wins gets home field advantage in the WS.

So let the Red Sox/ Yankees play the Dodgers/ Phillies in the All Star game then.

So then the games best ALL STAR (Pujols) doesn't get to defend his league?

Best team should win the WS regardless of being home or not....

AL has been killing the NL in the all-star games for home field, but equal number of teams have won the world series.

I agree the best MLB team should get home field in the WS, but unfortunately thats not how it is..and the MLB has to make the All Star Game look important somehow.

Roid them up

Yeah, I dont know how you can make the all star game better.

Football, Hockey, and Basketball you can run trick or gadget plays, take trick shots, and go for crazy dunks.

Players really cant do that in baseball

They just need to shut down football at the Edward Jones Dome and bring in a basketball team.

W-L ERA K Walks WHIP
8-8 3.29 65 32 1.21

I dont understand how you're an all star if you have a .500 record and are on the Pirates.

I woulda chose Wainright over him and Gallardo.

How do you figure? Wainwright has a better record 10-5 to 8-7, a better ERA 3.04 to 3.22, and isn't too far behind Gallardo in strikeouts so I don't see how Gallardo should be in over Wainwright.
