With Paul Skenes being announced as the NL starter for the ASG in his rookie year, I’d like to ask anyone who crusaded against Elly De La Cruz being in the ASG last year where they’re at on this.

What makes Skenes more special than Cruz? Can’t be the team he’s on, because both players are in middling franchises. Is it position? One can make an argument about positional importance, but this is a team sport.

Maybe it could be statistics? At the break last year, Cruz was hitting 325, on base 363, slugging 524. Combined 887 OPS with 41 hits, 4 HRs, and had hit for the cycle in his 15th career game. Yet he didn’t get into the ASG. He was setting Cincinnati on fire as well as the league, but Orlando Arcia and Dansby fucking Swanson got the vote. And people defended that! But no one is questioning Skenes.

Make it make sense.

Obviously it's because Skenes is white and Cruz is black.

Skenes currently has the look of a guy who could pitch a no-hitter at any time, and would if they let him finish a game.

Also, hot girlfriend.

Dude is a monster and I love watching him throw.

I'm a sucker for the ASG as is I like the friendly fun pro level stuff (once a year) but definitely he earned his spot and I'm glad he got to start.
 
The draft is tonight. Cleveland took Australian infielder Travis Bazzana first overall out of Oregon State. He hit .407 with a .568 OBP and 28 homers this season in 60 games.

There were some straight up studs coming out of college this year. Charlie Condon (3rd to Colorado) from Georgia went .433/.556/1.009 with 37 HR in 304 PA.

We'll see how this translates to wood bats.

Did your team get a good draft pick, goyim?

This guy is a Jew and a Russian sleeper agent too.

Now get to work lazy baseball player bums. Who said you could have a break? How are we going to make money with none of the playing of the baseball? All star break, oi vey.
