AllStar scoreboard has rough night

The only errors on the scoreboard at the AllStar Game in Cleveland were by the scoreboard.

At least one player noticed — and wasn’t too pleased.

The giant board at Progressive Field was filled with mistakes Tuesday night, including a couple of misspelled names, a wrong picture and two incorrect team logos.

“They had what, two weeks to get ready for this? That can’t happen,” the Mets’ Jeff McNeil said.

McNeil is leading the majors with a .349 batting average, an impressive feat, considering he made his majorleague debut less than a year ago.

A late sub, he came up for the National League in the eighth inning and noticed the head shot on the scoreboard wasn’t of him. Instead, it was of Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom.

“That was tough, to see deGrom’s picture up there,” McNeil said. “I didn’t really like that.”

“I wanted to see my picture up there. I know my family did, too,” he said.

David Dahl didn’t fare any better. The Colorado outfielder batted right before McNeil and was listed on the scoreboard as “Davis Dahl.”

Outfielder Cody Bellinger plays for the Dodgers and Ketel Marte is with the Diamondbacks, but when the starting lineups were shown, they both appeared with the logo of the Braves.

The American League won 43 and neither team was charged with an error.

“I don’t think there was a lot of mistakes on either side,” said NL manager Dave Roberts of the Dodgers.

Not on the field, anyway. White Sox extend netting: Work crews have begun extending the protective netting to the foul poles at Guaranteed Rate Field, a step the White Sox are taking following a couple of highprofile injuries this season.

The White Sox say the majority of the work should be completed Wednesday and the netting will be in place when the team returns home July 22 to host the Marlins.

The White Sox became the first majorleague team to take the step after a liner by Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. struck a 4yearold girl in Houston in May. A woman was hit by a foul ball off the bat of White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez in Chicago on June 10. Robot umpires in minor league: “Robot umpires” have arrived.

The independent Atlantic League became the first American professional league to let a computer call balls and strikes Wednesday at its AllStar Game in York, Pa. Plate umpire Brian deBrauwere wore an earpiece connected to an iPhone in his pocket and relayed the call upon receiving it from a TrackMan computer system that uses Doppler radar.

He crouched in his normal position behind the catcher and signaled balls and strikes.

“Until we can trust this system 100 percent, I still have to go back there with the intention of getting a pitch correct because if the system fails, it doesn’t pick a pitch up or if it registers a pitch that’s a footandahalf off the plate as a strike, I have to be prepared to correct that,” deBrauwere said before the game.

Atlantic League President Rick White said it’s going to be implemented leaguewide over the next few weeks.
