Buster not being the starting catcher feels weird. In fact, it's down right wrong!
At least Craw is starting at shortstop.

1B in the NL is tough. The AL is now a smoking crater at 1B, but in the NL there's too many. Who should Aguilar have made it in over? Votto? Goldy? Tough sell.
Yep. Him (best ERA in the AL) and Charlie Morton are better than at least 5 of those pitchers on that squad. O f course I may be a bit biased towards Morton, but I also don't believe Springer deserved a spot.
What?!? Why?!?!
Shouldn't be mandatory by any means. Or they can expand the rosters for the "participation" picks
Blake Snell is an All Star. JA Happ is not an All Star. If your team sucks and your players suck you are not owed an All Star.
I kind of would rather they go in the opposite direction and just make it as fun for the fans as possible. Would also require fans/teams/front offices to stop putting so much emphasis on "all star appearances" when it comes to stuff like contract negotiations and hall of fame voting though.
I dunno, I'd rather just see all the best players in the All Star game doing best player things as opposed to gimmicky stuff. Of course, I would also like to see MLB actually market their best players so that there is an audience for that.
Yep. It's a meaningless game designed to drum up fan interest in the summer. Not having a player from every team kills that market's interest in the game.
No one's going to not watch the game because Blake freaking Snell ain't there. But Toronto as a market would likely not tune in at all if no Jays were present.
They should go ham with the fan service. Have an old timers all star game during the week with the softball game and the hr derby... go nuts with it.
Sad Cody face.gif
Also, Jays and A's are the only teams without an All star, correct?
Neither of the series against the Reds nor the series against the Pirates are on the weekend. Sucks.
The All Star break needs more skill challenges. Maybe a Outfield throwing competition or a hitting competition where you try to hit it to certain parts of the field. So much more can be done with the All Star week but they only do the HR Derby.
And in a Outfield of Matt Kemp, Nick Markakis and Bryce Harper. Harper is playing the worst of the 3.
