GDT Game 1/3 A's @ Jays going on a winning streak

[John_Havok]

Bassit should be able to take advantage of this s*** zone by the ump.

[Jonn]

Hopefully Vlad can finally relax and ignite. Hes capable of going on a run where he hits 5 or 6 homeruns in 2 weeks and all of sudden his numbers look a whole lot different.

[John_Havok]

Oakland gets close calls, not Bassitt tho…

[Spanky99]

Nicely done Bassitt, and f*** this ump, at least be consistent.

[John_Havok]

Jesus f***ing christ Buck, if people are voting Merrifield as an all star they need to give their head a shake. He’s a nice above average utility guy but he’s not even close to what an all star should be

I've seen worse

It's a popularity contest. You know that.

True, Espinal did get in

I mean if Espinal can make it last year. Merrifield certainly deserves it.

[John_Havok]

It’s almost to the point where being an all star means nothing. It’s a sad state

[John_Havok]

Deserves is not the right word at all. If MLB wanted any credibility with the voting process they’d limit the ability to vote for clearly undeserving candidates

I don’t think fans should have any say on who plays in the All-Star game especially when its an incentive in contracts.

 

I think you take the best players at every position and roll with. Maybe you let the fans select the bench from a curated list of deserving candidates.

[Spanky99]

Who f***ing cares about the ASG... it's all flat out horseshit?

Can’t disagree with anything there.

[John_Havok]

Wtf was that KK…be better

[John_Havok]

That strikeout on Springer was 100% made possible by the umps s***** strike zone

[Spanky99]

Capel's a good LF'er, almost had him.

[keggy]

AL 2B is quite thin. Merrifield is among the best this year.

[Stangstag]

AL 2B is quite thin. Merrifield is among the best this year.

 

Semien is clearly #1 by a longshot but Whit is totally a fair choice as first off the bench.

[Jonn]

Bassit thinking he’s going back out for the 6th after getting his s*** kicked in by poverty Oakland. He’s lucky its only 4 and the game is tied,

[John_Havok]

AL 2B is quite thin. Merrifield is among the best this year.

 

It’s a Semien, then a giant chasm, then the rest. Anyone other than Semien at 2b would be a travesty

[Spanky99]

Great turn boys, all around sweet play.

[John_Havok]

Great turn, now can we put some more runs up on these clowns?

[Spanky99]

This f***ing ump...

[John_Havok]

f***ing infuriating when umps can’t call the zone properly. Forces players to swing at garbage

[Spanky99]

Noda gettin' respect from the Jays.

They would need defined criteria. Yeah, Vlad doesn't deserve it this year. But I don't want to see some bum who had the best 80 games of his life to get in over him either. Fans are actually pretty decent at protecting against that.

Swanson just throated the A's, bro!!!

Yeah, but they’re also great at voting for guys that had a great year 3 years ago and has been pretty average since

[John_Havok]

Can’t believe they haven’t mentioned Ely de la Cruz’s cycle yet
