00:00The American League blanked the National League for nothing.
00:03Another dominant victory for the American League at the All-Star Game,
00:07but it was a pitching performance for the ages for the American League.
00:13How about this?
00:1411 AL pitchers combined for the shutout, allowing only three hits.
00:20That's the second fewest, second fewest hits ever in an All-Star Game setting.
00:27These are supposed to be the best of the best.
00:29Like, this is supposed to be the cream of the crop.
00:32You're supposed to have this incredible lineup.
00:35You're supposed to have just a bunch of players who are going to come in here and disrupt and be
00:41dominant.
00:42I mean, this is supposed to be an incredible matchup, and it really wasn't last night.
00:47It's the American League's fourth shutout in All-Star Game history.
00:50They struck out 15 batters from the National League.
00:54That was one shy of the record for a nine-inning All-Star Game to have 15 strikeouts.
01:00And we talked about it a bit yesterday about the lineup for both teams.
01:06Like, these are good lineups, but those were not All-Star Game lineups.
01:11Like, when you look at offense and you look at the best of the best,
01:14it's like, okay, you have Juan Soto, and you have Freddie Freeman,
01:17and okay, you got Mike Trout, and you have Jordan Alvarez.
01:20But a lot of those guys are B-plus players.
01:23B-plus players.
01:23B-plus players.
01:23B-plus players.
01:23B-plus players.
