Congrats to D-back rookie Corbin Carroll, makes the all-star team as a STARTER!

[MarathonMike]

I don't know how often a rookie gets named a starter to the All-Star game but I don't think happens often. He's been so fun to watch. Not big at all 5' 10" (maybe) but lightning fast, and home run pop to all fields. A big part of the surprising 2023 D-backs.

He's very good and very deserving. He should get two at bats before being replaced by Michael Harris II.

The Braves have a player at every position in this year's All-Star Game except LF:

1B - Matt Olson
2B - Ozzie Albies
SS - Orlando Arcia - STARTER
3B - Austin Riley
C - Sean Murphy - STARTER
RF - Ronald Acuna, Jr. - STARTER AND TOP MLB VOTE GETTER
CF - Michael Harris II

I'm certain that there will be at least 1 Braves pitcher chosen, probably Bryce Elder. But Spencer Strider may also get picked.

I haven't bothered watching an All Star game in years. IMO not worth watching.
FYI, the Angels are beating the Braves right now 4-2

The Angels aren't playing the Braves.

The Angels are playing the Arizona Diamondbacks and beating them 4-2.

The Braves beat the Marlins 6-3, sweeping the 3-game series, winning their 8th game in a row, extending their MLB-best winning percentage, and winning 23 out of their last 26 games.

That's ok, ok. It gave me a chance to further brag on my Braves.

You can brag. They are doing good.

You must be proud of a team that has given the middle finger to the Left by not succumbing to the politically correct forces that made the Clevland Indians change their name to............what is it again?

Hilarious!

I can just see all the Left wing heads explode as a stadium full of white men do the Braves chop during the World Series.

I'm wondering who will win the HR derby Monday night. Might wager on the Polar Bear to win it again.
