The NHL, the toughest sport of them all some say, uses shootouts to decide actual games.
The participation medal is the nomination itself. Either play the game or stop doing this.

Some day some kid is going to ask why was Schwarber the MVP of an All-star game where he went 0 for 2 with a walk.

So you propose leaving the last pitcher available to throw how ever innings it takes? Yea, I'll say it. You're old fashioned.imetsatchelpaige wrote: ↑15 Jul 2025 22:55 pmI would propose the managers of the opposing teams, actually manage to win.

Its an honor, and in some cases, a once in a lifetime experience, and you want the manager to tell a player he isn't going to play because we're sticking with this lineup.
It was a great game. Enjoy it like everyone else did.
The only problem i had was the MVP. That kind of tarnished the game itself.

Time to be done with All-Star games in all sports.
Re: GDT : All Star Game (7/15) ~ 7:00pm CDT
A few years ago the fans voted Musial's 12th inning called walkoff HR in Milwaukee,1955 as the greatest All Star moment. I guess you'd replace that with Scwarber's batting practice.cardinalsfever44 wrote: ↑15 Jul 2025 22:56 pmIt's an exhibition game in which the managers try to get every player that made the team into the game.

Yeah, and they used to wear flannel uniforms and have Ladies’ Day and single-gate doubleheaders.

Name the All-Star team, maybe do the HR Derby and be done. No need for the game.

For the last couple of decades, I've just been glad when it's over and back to real games.

Was that final out in the 9th actually an out?
I think the umps were told to make the "swing off" happen.
No way that's an out in an MLB game in a tie game in the 9th right?
That game was exciting for about 5 minutes.

The game is so meaningless……would a tie really be all that bad?
