PABLO WAS ROBBED.
Like, seriously. He’s outhitting Ryan Howard and he plays third base.

Hopefully Pablo will be on the list for the 31st man vote or something.

Gotta love the "every team gets a representative" rule
Because Ryan Zimmerman totally deserves the spot over Sandoval. Stupid

I predict Pablo Sandoval will murder Phillie pitching this season. Manuel probably doesn’t even know who he is. Then again, he could get added. They haven’t named the replacement for Beltran and the online extra players yet.

Just speculating...
what if Sanchez is traded to the Giants before the ASG? Will he have to wear a Pirates hat in the game since he is their only representative?

Didn’t this happen a few years ago with Carlos Beltran, when he was traded from KC to Houston?
by satyricrash on Jul 5, 2009 12:29 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It happened with Jeff Shaw back in the 90’s. He was the Reds only representative but was traded to the Dodgers before the game. I believe the Reds got a different player in, instead…

With defense taken into account, he’s just as good if not a bit better, sry2say.
There was more than enough room for both of them on this team though.

they start the voting so early, that’s it’s impossible for an unknown like Sandoval to win the fan voting. Fans around the country didn’t even know who he until about a month ago.

10 wins
I caught a bit of baseball tonight the other day and they were debating who should start the all-star game for the AL. The four candidates were the four AL pitchers with 10 wins. Two of them were legitimate candidates (Halliday and Greinke). The other two…had ten wins. Kevin Slowey has an ERA+ of 84. But he was one of the four candidates.

I think Wakefield was a “lifetime achievement award” who wouldn’t have gotten in without the extra roster spot added in. I doubt he’ll pitch (who would want to catch him?).

okay, i'm west coast biased for obvious reasons...
but it even seems like on the TBS selection show, whenever they had to talk about a non Eastern division player they almost did so begrudgingly.
and then they couldn’t wait to get back to blowing Evan Longoria
