Well despite the ugly uniforms. No sport does it better then MLB as far as the ASG goes. A good competitive game. Something the NBA and NFL can't offer.

The anthem singer admitted she was real drunk during the HRD and is checking herself into rehab and she "heard its real fun".

AL returns to King of the Mountain. The start of another 9 game winning streak perhaps?

I don't fault MLB for going the extra mile, their YouTube channel highlight video for the All-Star Game is 17 minutes long, but like, can't you make an alternate that's 5 minutes? Jesus.

"Condensed games" if it's not already a thing league wide should absolutely be a thing league wide.

Jays do it (as do Raptors/Leafs, but that's done by the broadcasting network not the league) with rebroadcasts of their game in 30 mins which is basically 20 with TV ads.

In a time where more people just watch YouTube highlights and social media clips and that's it, leagues should definitely be putting out condensed versions of games online.

Like I said, maybe it exists already because I haven't gone out of my way to see if it exists league wide, but if it doesn't exist it should.

I know NFL Network used to do the same too. They'd literally have broadcasts of games where you're only watching every snap. No timeouts, no breaks in play, no ads. I think you could get through every snap of a game in 15 mins. If you do want to stretch it out and let each play breathe, you could probably still condense it into a 20-30 min video.

I wonder how long an MLB video would be if you're only watching the last pitch of every AB. As in, the final pitch of each AB regardless if that pitch is a strikeout, walk, hit, out. That would be 60-80 "clips".

What a win by the Pirates to open up the second half.

Oh my Freddie Freeman with the big granny late on the Red Sox to put them up 3.
