True story: 8-time All-Star John Smoltz couldn't find the bullpen in his first ASG! You've gotta hear this. The first ballot Hall of Famer explains why baseball fans need to chill on freaking out about national broadcasts and also offers ways to make All-Star week a bigger deal. Smoltz admits he'd rather Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a leadoff home run than start the first inning machine for the Braves. He tells Braun, Pierzynski, Kratz and Kipnis about how modern starting pitching needs another evolution & why being an accomplice in Greg Maddux hijinks was a protective measure!
