Did you guys know that Jose Altuve is on pace to break Pete Rose's all time hit record?

Fan voting is awesome

Let the record show, I did not vote for the All Star game, don't nobody say a ******* word to me about it. I didn't do it.

As long as you realize that the voting was a joke, and your team deserves one starter, I believe you.

Just awful.  Taking spots from deserving players.

 

[JCMojica24]

Bryant and Rizzo are both worthy of being starters but that's ab it.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Seager should have been starter

 

[CP1708]

Naw, voting is the voting. Same as every year. I don't care who's mad about it.

I've seen tons of All Stars from good teams and other guys get left out, or other teams get one guy because every team has to be represented. Complain about that. It's an exhibition. Millions of people voted, let them see who they wanna see.

Not one of the 7 is having a bad year. Should they all start? Probably not. But they've been great all year for a first place team, people voted. *shrugs*

 

[dmxfury]

Probably not?


And I always complain about fan voting. The public is dumb, don't leave things up to them

 

[JCMojica24]

I know 3B is deep in the NL but would've like to seen Jake Lamb get a reserve spot

Miller & Betances

The Astros claimed Will Harris on waivers 20 months ago. Now he's an all star

Guess Gregorson & Giles sucking worked out

Harris was our most reliable reliever for most of last year too

 

[GreenNGold89]

Jung Ho Kang on bumble.

Got a good point. The public is easily manipulated by peer pressure.

Hasn't given up an extra base hit this year.

 

[macbk]

Lamb deserves that final spot. Which means it will go to Story.

 

[madj55]

Does this look familiar?

Yeah, looks like a scumbag to me and a typical Jim Bowden move.

 

[madj55]

Harper shouldn't be an All-Star.
