Sure looked like his bat head went past home plate from the side angle to me.

Meek isn't awful.
But I doubt he sees action unless we got extras.
Don't worry, the Pirates sent a pitcher to the All-Star game. We are guaranteed some runs.

There is no rule for going around. I don't think he made an attempt at swinging at it.

I don't think Spud Webb could have caught that. That rivals Mauer for worst throw of the game.

I think he stopped his swing in time and did not offer at it. Its a matter of opinion.

1-0 AL, thanks to Kuo's little league error.

I didn't know sac flies scored guys from second these days...wait besides that Rays game against the Yankees earlier this year. (I have never seen that play any other time in my life.)

The rule (9.02) really only says you may appeal a half swing. It doesn't seem to define what constistutes a swing or a strike.

Both, although I think the latter more than the former. THis is some terrible baseball.

Pitchers duel. This game is a showcase of truly how much the game has changed over the past five years without steroids.
It's a pitcher's game again and there are some VERY good ones in baseball right now.
Look at the homeruns and RBI totals for the leaders in each league. They are WAY down.
15 homers and 40 RBI's is a solid season right now at the AS break. You wouldn't have sniffed the all-star game as a power hitter with those numbers a few years ago unless you got a free pass from being the lone represenative of your team.

Re: MLB 2010: Hope Springs Eternal
I would agree with the assessment that it looked hard to see when batting for the first 4 innings at least with the way the sun/shadows laid across the batters eye in center field.
That would account for some of the inability to hit/score runs.

I think you're underestimating how good each of these pitching staffs are.

I thought Rolen was going to be dead to rights running on Hunter.
Heads up play though and now the NL has something cooking.
Next hitter will probably ground into an inning-ending double play though to end the threat.

Oh, no believe me. Their skill isn't lost on me. I just think it's bad baseball. Between the errors, overrunning the base after a second ball nearly went into the outfield, and the general feel of the game.
I realize the pitchers are incredible this year, but it just hasn't felt like that. Although, the NL staff has made the AL look absolutely foolish on more than one occasion.
Which is why I said it was both, if you reread the post.
