Can't wait to see Shohei!

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

The Cleveland Guardians are definitely the biggest surprise to this point. First year manager in Stephen Vogt and how well they have improved offensively over a year ago. Considering the fact that their personnel really did not change all that much. And losing Shane Bieber for the season with their starters being good but not great, with a lockdown closer in Emmanuel Clase. And to have five all stars including David Fry. Don't think too many had that happening on their bingo cards prior to the start of the season.

[@JamesNguyen-fe6it]

I totally agree with your answer on playing all sports up to HS.

[@holly_wood26]

Thanks for picking my question!
It's "Loni" ❤😊 lol

[@spencerrockman3184]

What a great question! Truly applicable to all youth sports.

[@FlippinBatsPod]

Thank YOU!

[@aritheghost]

Dodger stadium is now the Walk and Dodge

[@bentrademark]

Love the new segment!

[@Ben_Verlander]

Thanks!!

[@kennogawa6638]

Sho is going to join the thirty thirty club.

[@hammerfret]

Gunnar Henderson was Player of the Year in his high school basketball league and MVP of its all-star game. Totally agree-be an athlete.

[@christophercampbell2929]

The FT guys made a great point about Pete Alonso. They pretty much said if everyone else wasn't snubbing the HR derby, Alonso might not be there. But Alonso makes the HR derby a priority and MLB wants that.

[@christophercampbell2929]

Elly put LA in his name because he wants to be a Dodger. I think that is clear at this point.

[@Tom-dt4ic]

Two greatest shows on earth, Baseball and the Dead in the sphere!

[@ravenlunatic1168]

Love the new segment (not the name 😉)

[@FlippinBatsPod]

😂

[@Ben_Verlander]

Work in progress! Hahaha. But thank you!

[@virgilgreen3108]

Flaherty, for sure.

[@virgilgreen3108]

Snubs

[@motiv8tdRealEstate]

The mustache is looking epic 💪

[@Ben_Verlander]

Means more than you know. Thank you!

[@taylorgelbrich1374]

Jackson Merrill ROY forever!

[@bryanjerome8534]

Red Sox fans deserve so much better than this current front office, that refuses to invest in a competetive team.

[@Ben_Verlander]

Agreed

[@no30036]

Rooker was snubbed hard! I know u hate the A’s but his numbers were way more deserving than the #2 DH.

[@Ben_Verlander]

I don't hate the A's players. Just the ownership

[@harmonydavis6784]

[@harmonydavis6784]

This might be unpopular but I think Reese Olson is an all-star snub, yeah he's 3-8 but he has an era of 3.22 the Tigers just refuse to give him run support

[@janettevalenzuela9686]

Will Smith made Profar relevant 😂

[@XSprouted]

I've got a low-stakes question for next week but do you have a favorite all-star year? Whether it be because of who the players were or how the game/event was itself can be up to you.

[@yahcrack]

Phillies were mediocre with Girardi and moved on and promoted Thomson and went to the WS and NLCS and off to a record start. Time for the Yankees to move on from Boone. Not to mention the Yankees choose Boone over Thomson.

[@jasongiannaros4091]

Lindor's numbers were not anywhere near as good as either Mookie Betts or CJ Abrams. Not sure how that's remotely a snub when you compare their stats

[@mack72711]

Ronel Blanco should be an all star. The 5th best ERA in all of baseball and threw a no hitter in his first start of the season c'mon now

[@mario9583]

How is David Fry not the number 1 surprise all star?

[@yahcrack]

You need timestamps Ben.

[@FlippinBatsPod]

There are when you scrub across the video!

[@andyhoran]

Semien over westburg and Holmes over kimbrel

[@brianyakata1978]

If showtime goes 50/40 does he win the mvp?

[@FlippinBatsPod]

You have to think he does. NL MVP race is lighter than the AL.
