With no games and only the Home Run Derby today, there is no way to award a full slate of WOBS.

But I will award Pete Alonso a full WOB for winning the Derby and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for hitting the most over all homers and finishing second.

In Memoriam 2019 Video plus the previous entries

In Memoriam 2019For the sixth consecutive All Star Game, Sully Baseball has produced an In Memoriam video. In the past year, we lost legends like Frank Robinson, Willie McCovey and Mel Stottlemyre as well as lesser known figures like Betty Carveth and Neale Henderson.

They all contributed to the game of baseball in their own way that will live beyond their years.

Here is the new video.

The previous videos include the 2018 edition…

The 2017 edition…

The 2016 edition…

The Summer Score – ALL STAR BREAK EDITION – Updated for July 8, 2019

stttttttttttttttttttttttre

Karen Warren – Houston Chronicle

It is now the All Star Break, one of the real milestones of the baseball season.

There will not be any updates to The Summer Score for a few days. Some teams that dreamt of contending have not cracked the board yet.

And some hopefuls have fallen off. (I am looking at you, Texas.)

And the Padres still only have a score of 1.

It is time to update The Summer Score. For an explanation of The Summer Score, click HERE.

We are now in July. So this month, each day a team is in a playoff position is worth TWO POINTS on their Summer Score.

The Yankees, Astros, Twins, Rays and Indians are from the American League today.

The Dodgers, Braves, Cubs, Nationals and Phillies are from the National League.
