Someone might want to inform Bochy, Ron Washington, and the entire New York fan base that the all star game rewards the winner home field advantage, and being dumbass homers picking their own pooty players hurts them in the long run.

Definitely some snubs, but that's to be expected of any all star game.

Wilson has really not had a great year and his selection over Cordero and Kimbrel. Don't get me started on Timmy and Cain beating Hanson.

CC also got screwed by this in the AL, a deserving Yankee that didn't make it.

And poor Andrew McCutchen...not even up for the final vote.

McCutchen was definitely the biggest snub.

I'm glad CC wasn't voted in though. About damn time a Yankee/Yankee fans know what it feels like when another player gets voted in over them, even if they're not the better player. Besides, his ERA isn't even top 15 and wins are one of the most meaningless stats in all sports so I don't really recognize that as a legitimate stat.

Michael Morse was also a HUGE snub.

#5 in batting average for 1b

#5 in HR's

#5 in RBI

#3 in OPS

He's also been fantastic with the glove at 1B.

At the very least he deserved a spot on the bench. He is the ONLY reason the Nationals aren't 10 games under .500 right now.

The McCutchen thing is just sad.

Morse stats still don't match up as well against Votto and Prince in the runs/rbi totals with is the big thing is the voting.

Gabby Sanchez on the other hand, you can make the argument...but thats another of Bochy's picks.

There were a few snubs here and there, but the Fans actually did a pretty damn good job in voting for players for this All-Star game. Where it got really messed up is when the managers started picking players.

The managers didn't do to hot of a job in picking players that should've been picked.

Also don't get me started on freaking Jeter getting picked, he's one of the worst defensive Short Stops in the league and now he can't freaking hit either.

McCutchen not getting voted in or picked by the managers is sad, I hope someone has to pull out and they put the kid in. He clearly deserves to be playing in this years game.

The All Star game is a popularity contest. If you see it for what it is, then it's not bad. The best players are rewarded at the end of the season with gold gloves, Cy Young's, Silver Sluggers, and MVPs.

False.

Why? Derek Jeter won the gold glove last year. Lmfao.

      [Joe Person] Jonathon Brooks had a successful 2nd ACL surgery - Expected to miss all of 2025 Season

      By TD alt · Posted

      He doesn't need to play in 2025. And maybe not 2026 either from what I've read. This is but one peer-reviewed selection:    "A devastating complication of returning to sport following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a second ACL injury. Strong evidence now indicates that younger, more active athletes are at particularly high risk for a second ACL injury and this risk is greatest within the first two years following ACLR." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5226931/     Regarding your first question... "The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision that affects patient outcomes significantly. Even though there is no consensus in the literature, there are some trends regarding timing of ACLR. Various authors suggest that ACLR be performed at least 3 weeks after injury in order to avoid arthrofibrosis. More important than time alone, objective criteria including perioperative swelling, edema, hyperthermia, and ROM are important indicators of when surgery should be performed." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4004131/#:~:text=The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision,in order to avoid arthrofibrosis.

      [The Athletic] Panthers’ offseason to-do list

      Not sure I would be so sure they feel worse than us - their QB was better than Bryce at in the first season, they got DJ Moore, and 2 more high caliber draft picks.  We had to give up basically our entire defense this season indirectly to make that happen and we still have no true #1 WR.  Not saying I would rather have Caleb over Bryce at this point - but I would rather have their team situation and draft picks hands down.

      A lot of people think this draft is weak at QB--I think, after the first five picks of the first round, there are a ton of developmental QBs who could develop into the role--here is the psychology behind it--Bryce becomes the mentor--you can learn as much by teaching others than by being taught.   It also makes him a true leader.  But I think there are a few QB in this draft that might not be ready now, but in 2 years, could be NFL starting QBs--Howard, Rourke, Ewers, Milroe, Dart, etc.  Talk about a cheaper backup and one that could evolve into trade capital--or if Bryce can't find consistency-his replacement.  Round 3 will have some of these qbs--maybe early day 3.
