Sad day when the reputation of the All Star Game is sullied when dregs like Jeter are selected as starters.

Maybe NL fans voted him in so the NL can win!

 

[Dominican Power]

Lucroy is not starting lol

Stanton is not starting lol

Fraizer is not starting lol


Tulo/McCutchen/Goldy are legit

 

[Dominican Power]

Betances!


WE DEED IT!!!!

 

[Malvingt2]

Someone please post Jeter numbers for this season. I want to see those epic numbers

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan

Jeff Samardzija, an American League pitcher, was chosen as a National League All-Star. MLB has deemed him ineligible.

He wasn't picked as an Athletic unfortunately, only as a Cub.

Also no Josh Beckett. Thought he'd get in there but I guess having three Dodger pitchers was too many?

 

[JDeluis]

Oh Trienfel!

Clayton Kershaw: 87.1 IP, 13 starts, 10-2, 192 ERA+, NL All-Star.
Chris Sale: 87.1 IP, 13 starts, 8-1, 188 ERA+, not an AL All-Star.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Um, why can't Samardzija play? Beltran was allowed to play in 2004 when he was traded to the Astros from the Royals. The stupid homefield advantage crap applied then too.

ESPN "Derek Jeter" celebration..


ok... I though this was about the All stars game and about winning.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Anyone else think the very first thing any new commish does the minute they step in office is get rid this stupid home-field decided by the All Star game thing? I get the feeling even Selig knows it's dumb but he's too stubborn and bitter to get rid of it himself. It adds nothing.

I must've misheard when John Farrell went on and on about how important HFA was for the Red Sox last year, how the ASG was integral to that, and how he wanted to win again.

 

[darkside31337]

I hope Farrell is serious about winning the game being the only thing that matters.

Jeter should be batting 9th and not actually get an AB.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Will everyone stfu about Castro getting traded? Jesus.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Chris Sale got robbed

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Mets are shit but I'm happy Daniel Murphy is going to the All Star Game.

 

[yankeeforever2]

Some of you are real salty about Jeter being a starter. He will play three innings and get one at bat get over it.

Man, I would respect the guy more if he declined to be a starter. :/

Sad day when the reputation of the All Star Game is sullied when dregs like Jeter are selected as starters.

ALl star game is about seeing the biggest names and most established players. voting in no way should be on the first 6-10 weeks of the season. its a shame MLB is using it as a deciding factor for home field advantage in the world series.

 

[Friggz]

in favor for who? jed lowrie?

 

[Malvingt2]

in favor for who? jed lowrie?

for a player who plays SS with better numbers?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Everybody vote Rizzo for the final vote.

 

[Malvingt2]

Everybody vote Rizzo for the final vote.

I might vote Morneau.....

 

[the_firewithin]

I really can't stand Brian kenny

 

[jello44]

Hey Altuve made it.

Now, #VoteKeuchel

 

[Friggz]

when i watch the all star game, i want to see alexei rameriez play...hahaha.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

In 3-4 years the NL All Star lineup is gonna be a lot of Blue and Red.

 

[Malvingt2]

when i watch the all star game, i want to see alexei rameriez play...hahaha.

and yet he deserved it more than the Derek Jeter this year.. So what is your point?

 

[aFIGurANT]

I really can't stand Brian kenny

GetOut.gif.

What don't you like though really? He at least pushes the numbers issue whereas many of his colleagues give zero fucks about anything besides RBIs and ERA.

 

[Friggz]

and yet he deserved it more than the Derek Jeter this year.. So what is your point?

becuase who cares what someone does for half a season? alexei rameriez is garbage.

 

[Dominican Power]

Voting for Kluber/Rendon for last vote.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Lucroy is good, but being an All-Star starter has nothing to do with being the best baseball player, it's all about legacy and fluff stories.

 

[Malvingt2]

Ok..

 

[zychi]

you can vote nonstop? someone should make a script that just does it for you.
i voted for sale and rizzo 4 times.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

We have to stop looking at all-star appearances as acheivements and look at them for what they are, a popularity contest/exhibition game. 9 times out of 10 it's not a problem because the best players are also the most popular, but that other time you get a situation like Jeter in 2014.

I guess so. It is sad. MLB All Star means a lot. Oh well :/

Twins fans really do deserve some happiness (well most of them). It'd be nice to see Morneau there although its tough to justify voting for him over any of the other guys.

id rather watch an all time great player than someone having a good half season. its a shame this game is geared more towards the casual fan.

 

[Malvingt2]

Damn all the casual fans who voted for Derek Jeter.

 

[Friggz]

Damn all the casual fans who voted for Derek Jeter.

i said casual fans. not yankee fans

 

[Malo]

Jeter shouldn't be in ASG, but everyone knew he was going to be voted in. Fuck the casuals.

And Betances got in? #wemadeit

 

[Malvingt2]

Yeah, I am going to vote for him and Sale.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
Just saying: An All-Star ovation for Justin Morneau in Minneapolis would be one of the most emotional moments of the entire night.

 

[Dominican Power]

How the fuck does Josh Harrison make over Justin Upton?

 

[Enron]

Another rangers starting pitcher headed to the DL. lol. lolololololol

Poor Erick Aybar.

the AL only have 2 SS.

what drugs do you do? Jeter is reportedly one of the biggest egomaniacs on the planet. from his refusal to move for arod to his "YEAH JEETS" during fellatio.

 

[CygnusXS]

Yawn

Where did he say he expected him to do it?
