Wow. 8 out of 9 are Royals.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Fan voting for the ASG needs to stop, and this should do it.

 

[Corran Horn]

honestly if the fans arent going to take it seriously then they should probably do away with fan voting. Omar Infante, really

Feels good

 

[Frozenprince]

Also shocking.

The fuck is Carlos Beltran on that list?

 

[brianjones]

Bud Black lost his job

 

[BigJonsson]

In 1993 the Jays had 4 All-Star starters but they were....

Robbie Alomar
Paul Molitor
Joe Carter
John Olerud


Not Omar Infante and Alex Rios =/

He was a Royal once, vote him in too

I'm honestly surprised they didn't vote George Fucking Brett in by this point. It's a farce, is what it is.

Spoiler

a bit chapped since by this point Donaldson won't even start, neither well Nelson Cruz

This is different, this is pretty much the entire defensive infield.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

At least when Giants fans stuffed the ballot, their actions resulted in a win for the NL!

 

[BigJonsson]

Yea, exactly


If the Jays keep winning I think a voting campaign up here in Canada would do pretty well.....we did get Kyle Lowry into the starting 5 in the NBA

Good. Donaldson should be in at the very least.

 

[JMDSO]

Mets are going to DFA Dillon Gee.

Would feel bad, but he's definitely acted like a spoiled brat this year.

Don Cherry is on it

I'm pissed.

Tangentially related MLB news, but Scott Weber of Lookout Landing is moving on from the blog.

Considering LL is one of the absolute best blogs SBNation has, and is one of the reasons I go there, his presence will be missed.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Omar Infante (he of the .204/.213/.284 line) is by far the worst offender. He's been worth -0.7 fWAR this year

His walk rate is 1.5%, like what

edit: maybe Alex Rios is worse! He's been worth -0.4 fWAR in 69 PA compared to Infante's 197

 

[Angry Grimace]

Bud Black lost his job

Finally. Horrible manager.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Damn Gees been DFA'd. Matz future almost upon us!

 

[Frozenprince]

DILLON GEE HAS BEEN DFA'D!

It's a Christmas miracle.

 

[Osorio]

Damn Gees been DFA'd. Matz future almost upon us!

Niese followed by Gee was the worst. Even in the beginning of the year I was hoping Montero would get the fifth spot.

Montero earned the spot.

Terry is just an idiot.

agreed. hopefully next year we looking at
Harvey, DeGrom, Syndergaard, Matz, Wheeler. with Montero as the long man/sixth starter role.

Montero should be the 5th guy till Wheeler is back in May/June anyway.

 

[zroid]

All-Star Games are pretty much a joke anyway, so if these standings hold, it will be well-suited to the occasion. The only problem is that the result is meaningful... but that's an issue regardless of who's playing. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

#RedSox are 49-64 at home the last two seasons. … Also 354-358 overall since the start of the 2011 season.

Ryan Hannable ‏@RyanHannable 25m25 minutes ago
Updating this stat from last month: Since the start of '14, the Red Sox have been swept at home 10 times - in Francona's 8 seasons, just 6.

The sooner Henry wakes up and realizes that 2013 was a fluke and that the team has obviously regressed the better.

Somebody's gotta go. This Cherington-Farrell partnership isn't working

The 2013 Red Sox should really be a lesson to a lot of teams; specifically, there's a lot of luck in baseball. Basically everything went right for Boston that year; no one important got injured, and several players had what were in retrospect career years, all happening simultaneously.

Honestly, I suspect virtually any team or club could be really good in any given year if that happens. Conversely, a team loaded with talent and depth can have a mediocre year if a few key players get injured and then 2-3 other players have "down" years.

Picked up MLB.tv Premium for 50 bucks today for their Father's Day sale.

Almost seemed too good of a value not to buy it.

 

[Loco4Coco]

YES! Gee is gone! I might cry.

 

[JoseDFrog]

The best outcome for the all-star game would be for the Royals to beat the NL.

Funny, I just looked this up today...

The Red Sox are 12 games over .500 so far this decade.

I still can't believe the Cards got shut down by the corpse of Clay Bucholz. That and the HR Maness gave up changed the entire series.

EE playing 1B and Colabello back in the outfield... fucking NL rules

RIP win streak

Mariners. Stop the charade. Brad Miller isn't just the starting shortstop, he could be a future superstar. Not star. Super. Star.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Reyes! ;_;

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Bomba from Bautista.

Expect a lot of those the next 4 days.

 

[Loco4Coco]

So many pitches, he won't go 4 innings today.

 

[Dominican Power]

Jose Fernandez will be making his first start of the season on July 2nd against the Giants.

Miller currently has the highest fWAR amongst SS in the AL you disrespectful slut!!

 

[Frozenprince]

Good god do we suck at hitting.

 

[Dominican Power]

Didi trynna make me hate him a lil less.

 

[Frozenprince]

We're gonna have a perfect game against us a week after a no hitter.

holy shit we suck.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Mets gonna get no-hit in back to back weeks

 

[zroid]

[detectiveconan1]
