If it happened in the World Series, that’s one thing, but this was the All-Star Game...it’s no wonder now players think it isn’t worth it to play in it...why take a chance on getting injured in something that ultimately is meaningless.
Then they shouldn't play if they can't go all out. Stay at home ... sit on the bench ... take up knitting. That's no different than saying, "Well, we're down 10 runs. What's the sense of playing all out ... we might get hurt in a losing game" or "Heck, the team is in the basement of the league. We don't have a chance to get to the World Series. Might as well just shag it in to keep from getting hurt."
Piffle. If you aren't going to play baseball all out, get off the field.
