CWSGuy406 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I figured that a lot of people, like me, will be flipping back and forth periodically between the Sox game and this game. I also expect that a lot of people will be watching Chris Young with a watchful eye, in all of his AB's. There's also a lot of other guys who I want to get a look at -- pitchers Thomas Diamond and Yus Petit, and a bunch of the position players -- Encarnacion, Barton, Jackson, Morales, and Young, among others.

GoodAsGould Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Im watching the futures games. Ive decided not to watch Oakland games anymore. Until we have a winning season vs them. Also Ive been looking forward to this game for awhile... to me its >>>> all star game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 are you sure Encarnacion will be playing? I think he's up with the Reds which means he won't be in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's up with the Reds which means he won't be in the game. Encarnacion was sent down. Activated infielder Anderson Machado from the 15-day disabled list; optioned third baseman Edwin Encarnacion to Louisville of the International League (AAA).

Updated rosters: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/minor...8fgrosters.html Sweet, thanks for the update. On a side note, El Duque and Marte are pitching here today but I'm too damn lazy to go out to the game. I believe B-Mac may pitch as well.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Definitely missing the Sox game as this is one of the better events of the summer to me. However, it does lack the "star power" of the last few years. At least we might get a longer look at Delmon Young and a few others than the last few years. Never seen Chris Young so that's kind of interesting. THis game has been hit a bit by call-ups and the fact that the world team is a bit less loaded than normal. Still, superb event.

Rowand44 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I might tape this game while I'm watching the sox. I agree with you guys the futures game is the best allstar event by far, very fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Anyone know the starting pitchers? I was guessing Verlander and either Volquez or Petit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like ESPN is showing it for now. Edited July 10, 2005 by danman31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Flyout to Chris Young on 2nd play of game. Announcer talks about how he has good range on defense and mentioned some good comments from Razor Shines. Next batter, Kendry Morales, crushes one over Young's head. Slightly misjudged but he had no play anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Young to face Yusmeiro Petit of the Mets. First pitch strike looking. Foul off to the right side. Pop up to 2nd baseman. Well that at-bat sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I remember being excited to watch Rickie Weeks for a month last year and then he came into the game late and popped up on the first pitch I believe. Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Young or Fields who didn't run hard on a pop up and got a talk about it?? If it was Young that message got through to him cause I saw that play too and he was flying.

Chisoxfn Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) Well there goes my theory. Young plays the game hard no matter what though. He's a really special player, imo. Your gonna keep hearing more and more about him too. Its just when he hits the ball the bat makes a different type of sound. He truly has a chance to be a special player. Remember though, he also has some definate holes that could lead to him being a total bust. He's got a great attitude though and plays hard so I think the odds are in his favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great to hear about his attitude. It was real refreshing to see a player like Young not to take anything for granted on a little pop up. I loved seeing that.
