Rofl @ Miguel being out and another Royals player starting.

[jays4life19]

Damn i was really hoping for more Royals. Omar Infante starting at 2nd would have been hilarious.

[Laika]

O's fans are plugs. Machado has been as good as Donaldson and they only gave him 2.6M votes.

I don't think that's how it works. The league will probably name Pujols/Tex/Fielder as the replacement 1B.

[CrackerJack]

If they pushed for Bautista half as hard as they pushed for Donaldson he gets in as well. I just hope MLB is not dumb enough to leave him off the team.

 

one all-star rep suits me just fine.

[RealAccountant]

Bautista please accept all star game nod, and rightfully decline to take a few days off instead.

 

What are the chances of Osuna getting in as a reliever.

[Laika]

Bautista and Martin will almost certainly be named as reserves. Also an outside shot that Osuna will get picked as well.

[jays4life19]

We deserve atleast 2 with the chance of 4.

 

Why do you care though? It's probably better for the team that they don't play and we get to watch them play actual games everyday anyways. Let's all vote for Yankees next year.

[intentional wok]

Royals fans are chuds, but Smoak being fourth is pretty suspect on the Blue Jays faithful.

 

Still, what a joke.

 

f*** democracy.

[CrackerJack]

anybody on here (besides me) not bothering to vote?

[TilsonBritoFan]

wow, JD had the most votes of anyone in either league!

[Laika]

Wouldn't be shocked to see Buehrle.

 

Oh. I would. Sort of.

[HERPDERP]

If Buehrle 100% declared he was retiring this year, yep he would be in.

 

I think he'll retire.

[TwistedLogic]

It is. If a guy pulls out willingly (like an SP that pitched on the last day before the break), the managers and commish office decide who to replace him with, but if a guy can't compete due to injury, the next leading vote-getter at that position gets the nod. At least that's how it was defined in an article written today on MLB.com.

[GD]

Lol at them not turning off spellcheck.

 

It adds an air of professionalism

Would be strange to completely ignore fan voting, hokey or not.

[GD]

I don't believe KC fans actually voted so many times, I think some guy just devised a way to vote automatically... all it takes is 3 things:

 

1) Program to complete the voting form

2) Program to translate the CAPTCHA

3) Program to spoof IP/DNS

 

Usually they have a way of spotting bots, although maybe most bots don't spoof IP and this one did. They cancel like 50m votes a year or something.

[BTS]

lol @ Alcides Escobar

[Boxcar]

anybody on here (besides me) not bothering to vote?

 

Lots of people I'd imagine.

[Zaun of the Dead]

didn't vote. won't be watching.

[Stangstag]

I'm just imagining what kind of crackpot lineup Ned Yost will come up with. He'll probably have Escobar and Cain in the top 3 and Donaldson batting 8th or some crap like that.

[CrackerJack]

didn't vote. won't be watching.

 

I may watch. Gotta root for the A.L. so i'll have tickets to 4 world series games in T.O. this Fall (instead of 3.)

wasn't it out a month ago that 60M votes were removed?

You're assuming it would take the Jays a whole 7 games to win. You'll only need two of those tickets since they'll sweep in 4. I suppose you could frame the other two if you get actual tickets and not a bar code to your email address.

actually that's a very good point ... would be disappointing if they're electronic tickets for the world series.

[strochez]

Kershaw got absolutely SNUBBED!!!!

[TRM]

Ned Yost picked seven relievers lol

Ned Yost picked seven relievers lol

 

While missing 2, 3 and 4 in the AL in reliever WAR

[Orgfiller]

Feeling like one of Bautista or Martin will get royally (pun intended) snubbed.
