ASG
Did anyone else find it a little strange that there were five Red Sox on the team (three pitchers, two hitters), and they combined for one AB and one IP? I know the rosters are huge, and lots of good pitchers aren't going to get innings, but playing Zobrist at 2B over Pedroia, even if Pedroia doesn't get an AB? Come on, Joe Maddon. You are trying to win this thing.

Well, that may have been a little hasty. Zobrist has a UZR/150 of 27.7 (!), while Pedroia is only at 5.7.
OK, I'm dumb. I forgot that Pedroia was with his wife. Oops.
Yeah I was bummed Wakefield didn't pitch. Probably his only game and it would have been fun to see V-Mart or Mauer try to catch the knuckler.
But yeah Pedroia wasn't there - hence Zobrist.
Really a shame that Wake didn't get a chance but I am only slightly more interested in the All Star game than a pats preseason football game. In both cases, I watch for 10 minutes and quickly lose interest. Is there anything more absurd than determining home field advantage by an exhibition game?
Did you mean to exclude Bay, Andrew?
Uh, no. I forgot about Bay. I am extra dumb.
