The Midsummer Classic will take place on July 9 in Cleveland. The full rosters, including reserves and pitching staffs, will be announced on Sunday. Arenado is starting his third All-Star Game, while the incomparable Trout who received more votes than any other player is receiving his seventh ASG start and eighth All-Star selection overall.
The most surprising inclusion is Pence, signed a minor league deal with Texas last winter and then embarked on a comeback season for the ages to earn his fourth All-Star selection. Maybe not even for another week. Give me Martinez. Always was meant to be for the fans, and Pence has been and is a fan favourite.
A nice way to recognize him, even if he is unable to play in the game. While an exhibition for the fans, it does have some impact on players as well.
Either bonus money or especially in arbitration it could make a player a decent payday. Sad for Bogaerts and Devers who deserve more fan consideration. Polanco has had a fine year and Bregman is well Bregman but X and Devers deserved higher consideration.
Truth be told, maybe R and R is what the team needs. Pretty much I am. I went out and celebrated after the 83 game. I was too young to celebrate after the 71 game. Hunter coming home and playing for the team he cheered for all his life has given him that boost.
Went from working the parking lot for the Rangers to an all star for them. Well it used to be that if it was played in an AL park, dh would be used for both teams, and nl parks would have pitchers bat. Use common sense. The starting DH is just selected from the group of reserves by the manager. It will probably be Josh Bell this year. The NL voted to stay in the stone age, let them live with it!
The ex cub factor, stars on an all star team, Freeman has been an allstar, but hardly a starter, his stats deserve it. Freeman had a tied rbi streak. This josh bell linked was released in Fans did a solid job. Fans did an atrocious job, they literally said Gio Urshela is better than Matt Chapman.
Mega-ultimate FAIL!!! Yeah, on no planet is he more deserving of consideration than Chapman. So sad for Josh Bell. He is having a monster year but with a crap team. He is currently the best 1B so far this season and not starting in the All-Star game. I hope he makes it to the game though. He deserves it. Every stat that actually matters shows how Freeman is a better hitter, fielder and he is the best player on the 2nd best team in the NL right now. It should not matter how good the team is that a player be chosen.
Then we should only chose players whose teams are in first place. In fact, if a player is having a monster year on a lesser team, it should be more reason for him to be selected. Bell deserves it, period! You realize most of offensive stats given shows Bell is better than Freeman. Defensively Bell has increased his stats and shows a lot of promise at the 1B position. He is laying out for bad throws to get runners and several other good things defensively.
All around, he is legit, best Player at the 1B position right now. He is also ranked 10th in hardest balls hit this year. He has hit record number of distance homer runs as well this year.
He is being over looked by the fans from different organizations. I say a 3 day voting on starters ending Saturday gives more people a chance to vote. Average worker works Monday through Friday and may have not the time to vote with a busy schedule during the week. I barely had enough time to vote before closing time. I have long hours at work and then come home to chores and family before bed. I was gonna say, Pete Alonso is getting absolutely no love here at all.
He is crushing the ball all year. This is why fans should not have a say in the All-Star voting. The American League homerun leader and the second baseman with the most homeruns at his position both got snubbed. No but would you like to see the rest of Tauruses numbers? Go right ahead take a walk the guy has three walk off hits this season is batting over to 80 has great on base percentage great slugging percentage I could go on and on once again just another Yankee hater I say.
He owns a OBP, and already accrued 3. He came off the DL this week and immediately hit 2 more bombs. They teams with the most fans had the most finalists. While Stella has done well pretty much every other stat belongs to DJ. If you are making the argument for Torres, they had him at short for voting and honestly that coin flip if you are looking at batting stats.
Torres has more hr but Xander has ove 2x the doubles. He has the better average but Torres is the better slugger. Matt Chapman is miles ahead of Bregman, Dozier and Urshela. Try again. The fans made atrocious calls all across the board.
He is actually extremely comparable to Bregman based on pretty much all stats. He is a superior defender, but Bregman has the edge offensively not by much. Matt Chapman:. I have no problem with Bergman winning he is a very good player. The problem I do have is Aarron Judge barely missing it and he has been out way to many games to be even considered for it.
I find it very hard to believe that there are many, if any, baseball fans that before the season would have listed these players in the final three in all star voting:. I am a Red Sox fan so literally no skin in the game starters , and I think overall the selections are the best in years. I have literally disagreed with every single one of your comments. Bogarts has had his share of errors this season. I thought he should have been in the running but to call him the best SS is a stretch.
And sorry but as deserving as Chapman is, the other candidates were equally great. I for one was very impressed overall. I get that all teams need to be represented, but they should still be able to work around that to get these guys on the roster. Yes, MLB needs to fix this too. Oh my God have you even watched one Yankees game this year? So spare me your Yankees hating crap! Hate Yankees! Hate the Yankees! MLB really has to start giving double votes to fans of players in smaller market teams.
Breaking down the best potential candidate and a few alternatives for the seven current head coach openings in the NFL. Two Crimson Tide coaches are accepting promotions at there big-time programs. Dan Graziano says there are 3 candidates emerging as early favorites in the Bears head coach search.

Klay Thompson had a very Klay-like reaction to not getting the ball on an open-look in transition. One of Novak Djokovic's main rivals has accused the world No 1 of making vaccinated players "look like fools" at the Australian Open. Maybe Joe Judge really did want to get fired. A day after the Giants gave the second-year coach his pink slip, Judge had a bunch of pizza and beer sent to his house, via TMZ.
Should the Broncos interview any of these coaches? Good news and bad news as the college football offseason kicks off.
