## Resource

Was the 2026 MLB All-Star Game one of the most boring Midsummer Classics in recent memory? In this episode, we break down why the game lacked excitement, from limited offense to the endless mic'd-up segments that sometimes felt more entertaining than the baseball itself. One of the few bright spots was Pete Crow-Armstrong, who was mic'd up while patrolling center field. We react to some of his comments as he talked about the Bears, and what it's like playing on baseball's biggest stage. PCA's personality stood out, even if the game itself didn't. We also discuss Willson Contreras' comments about potentially playing in the All-Star Game or Homerun Derby at Wrigley Field next season. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.
