reedjohnsonfan Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 The whole game is a joke. I`d say allow the sports writers to decide the teams but those guys are almost as retarded as the fans. Doesn't matter. The people who watch the game vote the most, and are thus are the most important for MLB profits, not the player with the highest WAR who no Yankees fans care about. This should be obvious to you.
Arkadium Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Author Posted July 8, 2013 Likely more than half of the guys going won't be playing since the rosters are like 400 people... No actually it's 35 (+1 to the last vote-in). Nice try though. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/eye-on-baseball/22663218/2013-mlb-all-star-game-live-updates-as-rosters-are-revealed
HERPDERP Old-Timey Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Delabar and Freeman are leading their leagues respectively in voting so far. I'm very surprised that Delabar is leading (especially since Boston and NY have players in the voting). I'm also surprised Freeman is beating Puig. Just shows how internet-savvy Jays fans are. We have more social media presence than any other team.

We have more social media presence than any other team. "The Blue Jays and Braves have teamed up to implore their fans to vote for their guys. Both of them. That has likely helped the cause of Toronto reliever Steve Delabar, who's leading the American League in 2013 All-Star Game Final Vote balloting sponsored by freecreditscore.com, and Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman, who's leading the National League. It seems Braves fans are helping us out, does MLB.com not show an updating vote count? Do we have to wait for articles like this to get an update on the standings? http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130708&content_id=53087042&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb
HERPDERP Old-Timey Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I think I'm the reason why Delabar is leading. You betray your fellow countryman in Benoit?! FOR SHAME

Ya I know about the partnership, and I bet Atlanta gains more from this partnership than the Jays (considering Atlanta has piss poor social media presence) Just surprised that the Boston/NY fanboys aren't voting en masse like they usually do.
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I'm sure this has been said but I hope Delabar makes the All-Star team for no other reason than the fact that it raises his trade value to the schmuck GM's out there. A package of he and Cecil together could net a decent prospect I bet.
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I've voted Delabar and Puig aplenty
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Don't care if he is a jay delabar isn't an all star So the guy with the highest K/9 with atleast 40 IP, along with a 1.58 era, doesn't deserve to be an allstar? Let me guess, you're the kind of guy that would rather have Jim Johnson because of them savesss.
imsorry4beatinU Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Vote for Steve, chums! http://goinglikesixty.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/jackhammerf5.gif what does F5 do? don't you have to write down the code all the time?
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 LOL: Source: MLB Fan Cave @MLBFanCave 19m @BlueJays fans will enjoy this @SteveDelabar_50 #RaiseTheBar graphic from @Alleycat17. pic.twitter.com/yBCa4JjmkO Retweeted by Blue Jays-Official
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Why did you vote for Puig? Way too small a sample size. Shits + giggles
LOVethISTEam Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 what does F5 do? don't you have to write down the code all the time? F5 is just refresh so spamming that would do nothing for this. I couldn't find a "spam vote button .gif" so I figured that would get the point across
NiagaraJaysFan Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 MLB.com has an awesome map up with voting data!! http://mlb.mlb.com/visualization/all_star/y2013/final_vote/ In Canada 97.6% for Delabar. They're also stuffing the ballot in central Kentucky, where Delabar grew up (and did substitute teaching lol). I find it interesting that Delabar is also winning in these butt-f*** nowhere counties in the US. There is support for him all over! I find that interesting considering the Jays don't get that much exposure down there. GO JAYS GO!
NiagaraJaysFan Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 BTW, I am doing my part, having voted aprox. 100 times for #RaiseTheBar!
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 C'mon Japan http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/jays-delabar-all-star-campaign-in-good-shape/
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Some of those random counties probably only have four guys voting though lol. The alliance with the Braves seems to have been a great idea. Georgia is pro-Delabar and the neigbouring states are fairly even. A big reason Delabar is winning is because literally nobody in Canada voted for anyone else. The heavily-populated New York counties are at about 85% for Robertson and New England is about 90% for Koji. That extra 10-15% of voters is big. And the Dominicans?
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Just put in 100 more votes for Steve. It's really easy if you go vote on mlb.com You just have to re-enter the captcha and hit "submit my vote".
flafson Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Just watch a nice episode on the computer and while doing so do copy paste send text with your android phone. By the end of the episode you sent about 1000.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Copy and paste texting is faster. True. Where and what do I text? I've only voted through the website so far.
imsorry4beatinU Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 what's the fastest way to vote? typing the code and submitting is taking too long. I've voted I think 200 times already today, anyway I could make it faster?
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 See above post. I votrd about 50 times through text, its been confirmed though right that multiple votes do work on mobile phones?
imsorry4beatinU Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 See above post. whats the charges on Mobile phone?
imsorry4beatinU Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Standard data and message rates apply. So it depends on what your plan is I have unlimited text international and area! going to be busy
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I have unlimited text international and area! going to be busy Oh s***. I have unlimited Canada-wide texting, but not international.
imsorry4beatinU Verified Member Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Oh s***. I have unlimited Canada-wide texting, but not international. I have fido unlimited plan
