No, not intentional at all and the runner shouldn't have tossed the ball back.

Werth needs a haircut and shave badly. If he wasn't wearing a Phillies uniform you'd think he was some homeless dude.

Nice escape for the Giants. But 7 innings is a lot to ask of the bullpen.

Yup, it is a stupid rule. You will never see the NBA or NHL implement a rule like that. The all-star is just a celebration for the fans to see the sports best (which they voted for some) all on the same field. I've been against that winning league from the All-star game gets home field in the WS rule from the get go.
I know I've argued in support of it before, but that was more of a devil's advocate sort of role. I agree that it's pretty stupid, but I still think it could be better.

I wouldn't mind if the All-Star Game winner = homefield advantage rule stuck around, if they changed the way the ASG is played.

Put the AL's 9 best on the field against the NL's 9 best, and the winning team wins something for their league. That's fine with me.

It requires a bit of a jump in logic, but it'd go something like this:

-the winning team indicates the team's league is the better of the two
-the better of the two leagues might mean it's a tougher league to play in (since that's where the "better" talent is)
-therefore it's conceivable that a lesser team record-wise is actually the better team; put them in the "easier" league and their record would probably have been better

That last point might make more sense when put in a college football perspective. Nobody would argue that a team in a weak conference being undefeated is better than a one-loss team from a tough conference, on the basis of record alone.

The first point is the weakest, because in baseball I don't think winning 1 game really proves anything.

But anyhow, as long as fans have a say in who gets into the ASG, it will always be a popularity contest, and managers have to manage everybody's ego, making sure they get their 1 inning or so in for the game. As long as that's the way the ASG is played, the homefield advantage tie-in is ridiculous.

Personally I'd rather have the "alternating home field advantage" that we used to have rather than the All-Star game having anything to do with it. Even that system made more sense than this one.

I think the Giants will lose this, they just don't look like they give a s***.


I knew me talking bad about them would help
