Phightins Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 smh @ all star voting, polonco, victorino and rollins all leading lmao, pathetic Weren't you the guy preaching last year about the all star game being about what "the fans want to see" when Reyes, Wright, Beltran etc had leads and didn't deserve it?  But with that said, I HATE fan voting. Hated it last year, hate it just as much this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) The incident between Joe West and the White Sox was ridiculous. I didn't see how either of Buehrle's pickoff attempts were balks. Even if they were, I don't see what Buehrle did to warrant being thrown out. It looked like West wanted to unnecessarily start something with Chicago. Edited May 26, 2010 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither was a balk, league should look at it and suspend him if possible. Ozzie was just protecting Buehrle too, all he did was go out and ask him what happened. Joe didn't want to hear it.

David Freese and Ryan Zimmerman are comparable I suppose.  But clearly, Utley and Werth deserve to start. I think a strong argument could be made for Carlos Ruiz as well, though his 2-20 (I think) slump that he is currently in is hurting him.

Sounds like he is getting fined and suspended. Thank goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Here's something to think about..  Why isn't Morneau in first place to start first base for the all-star voting? Edited May 27, 2010 by Lone Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Strasburg has one more start tonight @ triple A then he is headed to the majors, how exciting. BTW keeping on topic kinda, MLB draft is June 6th, Idk if it's worthy of it's own thread or just to talk about it here, theres talk around NY Harper could fall to the Mets as they have the lowest pick of the big market teams, I doubt he makes it past the Nationals though, you got a chance to grab the 2 top players of the next 2 decades you don't pass on it...

The Nationals have money. And even if they didn't, they'd find a way to make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Well, Mauer is leading as a catcher for the AL, but I doubt his looks is the main reasoning behind it. He's the best catcher in baseball and probably one of the more recognizable and popular players in the league. Look, I'm not trying to insult you or Minnesota or the Twins. But, when a fan voting is pitting a team with a national fan base like the Yankees or Red Sox against a team with a local fan base like the Twins, there's going to be a disadvantage for guys who deserve it against guys who are, rightfully or not, more popular.

fish7718 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Holy [expletive] @ Max Scherzer, got of to a good start this year, then got BOMBED for some time, then was sent down to the minors to find himself, ended making 2 stellar starts, now today he's back from the minors and is pitching a 2 hit shutout through 5, 12 strikeouts so far, Mets need to contact that AAA pitching coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
