2010 MLB All-Star GameThread: Let's GO CAPPS! Let's GO CAPPS!!!

"This year, it's Nats' closer Matt Capps who gets the (somewhat controversial - Not Dunn, Zim or Stras?) nod and the trip to Anaheim, California to represent DC baseball, following a first-half of 2010 which has seen the right-handed 26-year-old first-year-National save 23 games while striking out 33 (7.49 K/9) and walking just 7 (1.59 K/9) in 41 games and 39.2 IP so far this season. Capps came to DC after the Pittsburgh Pirates (who had drafted Capps) non-tendered him this winter after deciding that he wasn't worth what the team might have had to pay him in arbitration, but with his selection as the Nats' lone representative this year, he may well have positioned himself to be moved out of DC as one of a few chips the Nats have and could potentially replace should they decided to improve their roster before the July 31st non-waiver deadline comes around...but for tonight, Capps is the nation's capital's representative in Anaheim. LET'S GO CAPPS!!! LET'S GO CAPPS!!!"

Capps touches the brim of his, uh, cap, but doesn't remove it...
…when introduced as the Washington Nationals’ 2010 All-Star rep…
I stick with it to see if it’s a good game and then decide…

What happens
Say Cliff Lee was the only representative for the Mariners. Then he gets dealt to the Rangers like he did, does MLB assign someone else to represent the Seattle? Each team has to have a rep right? What happens if they trade theirs away prior to the game? I know Seattle has Ichiro, but it is a good question right? Anybody know?
Why not us? Why not now?
I think they would name a replacement, but don't know for certain.
MLB is real big on having a player from each team announced during the introductions.

I don't think so.
As I recall, the Reds had a similar situation a few years back and ended up having no reps at the game.
Oh well.

Wright = Longoria

Ethier = Hamilton
Hart < Ichiro

Here's a theory on why the NL is worse that I haven't heard anyone mention.
The NL has 16 teams. Therefore they have 16 players that must be chosen by the every team gets one player rule. We have Michael Bourne/Chris Young and Evan Meeks (or Capps) by that rule. You take that rule away and we get more flexibility than the NL

Michael Bourn made an out?!
What a shocker.

Carrying Bourn and Young we should get two wins if we pull this out.

He’s a better defensive specialist than he is a hitter, which is why he should’ve been in the field over Holliday, but I’ll let it go.

Dombrowski just called and said he’s got Porcello for Capps and Guzman ready to go. Hey, if the NL actually won the all-star game, I must not be dreaming.

Girardi has some egg on his face.
He boxed himself into the corner where he couldn’t pinch run for Ortiz.

Still had A-Rod on the bench.
"He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lampposts - for support rather than for illumination."

Did he have any pitchers who could run?
Ortiz would not be on the bases in that situation in a regular game. He was probably saving A-Rod to pinch hit.

That's Giradi's problem...if he didn't want to use A-Rod as a pinch runner
with 1 down in the bottom of the 9th and a runner on.

Baseball is so much better with closer tightly contested games.
AL wins, we’re talking about Kuo’s error. NL wins we’re talking about Brandon Phillips’ getting Andrus, and Byrd throwing out Ortiz with managerial genius Girarde unable to pinch run for Ortiz.

stay safe
hopefully it doesn’t get out of hand.
