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

blake snell not making the all star game is honestly one of the most ridiculous snubs ive ever seen. dude should be starting the game
MLB really needs to drop the participation trophy bullshit where every team is required to have 1 All Star (you can make an exception for the host city)

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.
Just how the baseball gods intended.It's the year of our lord 2018 and Matt Kemp is a starting all star outfielder.

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.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.
Where can I find the full All Star lineup? ESPN is terrible for finding that info

Isnt there a celebrity softball game like 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.gifPinch hit HR Shohei Gibson, am I right?
*Folds arms and smiles
JA Happ and Blake TreinenSad Cody face.gif
Also, Jays and A's are the only teams without an All star, correct?
His stats are almost similar to Kimbrel you markKenley Jansen shouldn't be an all star this year
Prove me wrong
And in a Outfield of Matt Kemp, Nick Markakis and Bryce Harper. Harper is playing the worst of the 3.It's the year of our lord 2018 and Matt Kemp is a starting all star outfielder.
