00:00Tariq Skubal, of course, will start on the other side for the American League tonight.

00:03He's a reigning Cy Young Award winner.

00:05It's his first time starting the All-Star game.

00:07Also very excited.

00:09Yeah, it's going to be fun.

00:10It's going to be a ton of fun.

00:11I mean, anytime you get to be in a clubhouse with the game's best and go against, you know,

00:14the game's best on the other side, it makes for a great product.

00:18And I hope the fans appreciate that, that this really is the game's best players.

00:21And it's an honor to share the room with them.

00:24Yeah, listen, I don't agree with that because, in my opinion,

00:29the best players were named to it, and then none of them show up for it.

00:33And then they play with a bunch of replacements.

00:36So, to me, it's average.

00:38In fact, I think that American League lineup tonight is complete garbage.

00:44And I'll be shocked if they beat the National League.

00:46I mean, look at the starting lineup against that National League lineup.

00:51Optically, on paper, you cannot tell me that they even compare to them.

00:55Yeah, there's been 12 replacements announced in this All-Star game so far.

01:03It feels like more.

01:05The American League will have Gleyber Torres, Riley Green, Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh,

01:10Vladdy Jr., Ryan O'Hearn, Junior Caminero, Javi Baez, and Jacob Wilson of the A's on their side.

01:19Shohei, Showtime, Ronald Acuna Jr., Marte, Freddie Freeman, Manny Machado, Will Smith, Kyle Tucker, Lindor, BCA.

01:27The National League starting lineup, you've got Noah Bowles with.

01:32That's a heavy hitter lineup that the National League is going to roll out there.

01:36Tonight, it is an absolute embarrassment against that hack-ass lineup of that American League

01:43that they're rolling out there tonight because nobody wants to show up for this thing.

01:48I'm telling you, these professional athletes nowadays,

01:52they want no part of NBA, NHL, or the baseball All-Star game.

01:59And that Pro Bowl flag football is an abortion.

02:03Okay, that's what that is.

02:04Don't get me started on that stupid fiasco.

02:07I mean, all of these things are capable, and they never will,

02:12but they're capable in my book of being eradicated.

02:15There's no reason for any of them.

02:17What they really should do is they play so many games in baseball,

02:21they should just have a midsummer break and not have this stupid game.

02:25Let's face facts.

02:26This is a stupid game when you've got – look at that lineup.

02:30That is not even an All-Star lineup.

02:32That American League lineup is not – I mean, are you kidding me?

02:36You have got to be kidding me.

02:39Don't get me going on this.

02:40That is not an All-Star team.

02:43That is just a team they finally found enough guys to show up to play.

02:48Well, this is, I guess, the part where I now have to tell you

02:51that the American League has won 10 of the last 11 All-Star teams.

02:54I don't care.

02:5410 of the last 11.

02:57But the National League is favored tonight, of course.

03:00They should have their fingers cut off if they lose to this American League

03:04hack team.

03:05This is like a beer league softball lineup.

03:08I actually have this up to minus 122 now for the National League

03:12in terms of how big of a favorite they are.

03:15The total, of course, is a 7.

03:18The under – it's gone under 14 of the last 19 All-Star games have been under.

03:25And it's a flat 7 tonight.

03:2779% of the money is on the over.

03:30You know, the problem is, Scotty, with these games, you know,

03:33by the time you get to the fourth inning, everybody's just looking to get the

03:38hell out of there.

03:39And they're swinging at everything.

03:40Let's go.

03:41We want to go.

03:41Is it not a waste of time?

03:45It's an under.

03:46It's an under.

03:47I just – you know, nobody gets to stay in long enough to really get hammered.

03:51If a guy doesn't have it, obviously he's only in for a couple batters anyway.

03:55This is why these games are 3-2 every year, 4-1, 3-2.

04:01You know, they just want to go home.

04:03They just want to get out of there as fast as possible.

04:04Well, to me, you know, honestly, that's just not exciting.
