The game is so meaningless……would a tie really be all that bad?
Of course not…but read the thread. Stan Musial hit an extra-inning HR SEVENTY YEARS AGO and therefore some folks want them to play this thing like it’s The Most Important Game Ever.
This was important when every game wasn’t on TV/internet, no highlight clips on YouTube, no interleague play, etc. Fans see players from every team and both leagues whenever they want. Paul Skenes has faced Aaron Judge before. It’s not a novelty; let it die.

I can remember the years when they had two “all-star “ games…

Right — and when you only saw teams from the other league on the Game of the Week and the World Series, that made sense.

Yes
Baseball has evolved….and the changes have rendered the game to a contrived exercise
Before free agency…..there truly were A L guys and N L guys ….each league had an identity
Now an A L guy in 24, is a N L guy in 25
This was compounded by interleague play…….the only thing unique about the current game is the silliness…..
I watched very little of it……but I respect those who are interested

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.
it certainly was - didn't you watch the challenge ?
the game was exciting for about 180 minutes!

This ridiculous, joke of a game makes me want to shoot myself. Have we really come to this garbage?
Dude Chill. It’s a baseball game. You need help man.
I “need help man?”
Get off my lawn, dude.
Sorry if I offended you but when someone says they want to shoot themselves, I’m going to say something.
Don’t worry, it’ll never happen again.
