Hunter Goodman's All-Star moment, 2028 Olympics vs. Midsummer Classic and ideas for improving MLB's All-Star Week

Blink and you missed the action during the 2026 MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park. The American League shutout the National League as both sides combined to strike out 27 times, more than any other nine-inning affair in the game's history. What were the other problems with this year's Midsummer Classic? Hunter Goodman had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment as well. You may have also him behind the plate with his red, white and blue catcher's gear that looked a lot like something a Phillies backstop would wear. What cool event was Goodman able to participate in on Tuesday night? Plus, debating the merits of allowing players to play in the 2028 Summer Olympics over the All-Star Game, Jordan Walker wins a really good Home Run Derby in enemy territory and The Sandlot tribute steals the show. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb [https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
