Welcome to the All Star Break!
We kick off our Midsummer Classic episode, of course, with the fits. Steven Kwan and Shota “Mike” Imanaga (II) opt for velvet, Christian Yelich dons mint green, and Ohtani steps out in a suit inspired, of course, by his dog, Decoy.
Obviously the main event of the All Star Game is the game itself! Ohtani sets more records with his 3-run home run, Big Papi deems Steven Kwan “a bad man,” and Shota shows out for his new hometown of Chicago.
But even before the All Star Break, Corbin Carroll has a much-needed 6RBI night, Travis d’Arnaud steals his third career base (and has two homers in the same game), and we’re not the only ones who thought Connor Wong belonged in Arlington.
Lastly, Kenta is moved to the bullpen and builds his confidence against a former ballclub, Yusei Kikuchi has a career high 13 strikeouts, and we wish Oakland Baller Kelsie Whitmore good luck in her tryout for the USA Baseball Women’s National Team!
