MLB All-Star Game Speculation

[hockeykicker]

Herrera has pitched a grand total of 7 2/3 innings in the NL. I highly doubt this happens.



I don't think it's "absurd" since they only take four relievers, and they usually don't take setup guys. But since they do have to replace Doolittle, he should be one of the top choices. I think they might take Jeremy Jeffress from the Brewers, though.

they said on radio today (if true who knows) that roberts and martinez want to replace him with a nat since its in dc

yeah ottavino definitely deserved to be there

well not really. you have a guy who hasant walked anyone since april 11th in sean doolitte which set a major league record.

The guy we got for him is having a pretty great year, himself.

Glad Jed rightfully got in, but it's still a slap in the face that he had to be a replacement. Torres will make plenty of asg's, but he didn't deserve it this year.

Lowrie has definitely cooled off since his hot start while Simmons has evolved into an elite contact hitter, but whatever

To date Lowrie is having a better offensive season. By a semi decent margin too.

So much for lack of recognition for small market teams

It's no surprise that Snell and Lowrie were snubbed at first.They play for 2 of the 4 teams the league is suing for having low payrolls.

If people don't believe there is a game within the game, they're out to lunch.

I was talking about the Final vote. A Mariner and a Brewer are beating players who play in NY and LA respectively.

Segura getting it over a Yankee/Red Sox did surprise me

Segura beat out a Boston player, a New York player and like it or not, a Los Angeles player (I don't remember the other one.). Aguilar beat out a Cardinal, a Giant, a Dodger and someone from the team that is hosting the game. Unreal.

Can't take Ottavino's stats seriously since he pitches in such a pitcher's park like Coors Field half the time.

Of course one of the worst hitters in baseball should be there. This game is so lame.

Only Lewis Brinson, Chris Davis and Alcides Escobar have worse OBPs than Sal Perez (.256 entering today) among players with at least 300 PAs.
