I think Cole Ragans got the nod bc of the storyline. He couldn’t make it work in Texas, they trade him away, then he becomes an all star the next season in texas
I gotta go with Peter here, the two most important things a pitcher can do is get outs and prevent runs (IP and ERA). If two pitchers have similar innings and ERA numbers, strikeouts can be the tiebreaker, but I'll take the ERA leader over the strikeout leader any day
Did they get it right in the AL OF? Kwan has played only 63 games relative to Durans 90. Duran has 4.7 bWAR compared to Kwan at 3.3. Kwan has better rate stats but he's missed more than a quarter of the season so far.
Smith is at 79 w 297 at bats, Contreras is at 91 w 370 at bats. Will smith has similar HR/Rbi stats despite nearly 100 less at bats. Smith is hitting .269 15 hr 55rbi, .289 10hr 54 rbi. Will smith > Contreras
I understand the choice to put peripherals on the back burner as the all star game is meant to measure pure results, but era is the only thing blanco leads ragans in, and pretty much every single peripheral number indicates he is due for a massive regression. His babip is the lowest among qualified sp by a wideeee margin. Blancos k-bb% is 12.9, the same as Miles Mikolas with a 4.88 era. Ragans k-bb% is 21.5, better thsn Imanaga, Houck, Suarez, Wheeler, etc.

Turang over Arraez in everything but BA
Arraez over Turang is crazy
Turang is way more deserving over Adames.
McMahon over Adames as well

Tucker has better stats in more games too
Kwan leads in fWAR in less games
Who has played more games Contreras or smith.
Smith is at 79 w 297 at bats, Contreras is at 91 w 370 at bats. Will smith has similar HR/Rbi stats despite nearly 100 less at bats. Smith is hitting .269 15 hr 55rbi, .289 10hr 54 rbi. Will smith > Contreras
Thursday Friday right?
Turang is a huge snub in my opinion
Munoz got added don’t know for who but he definitely deserves it over Holmes
Ohearn was great too for the DH spot
@@danielhudson6594 he’s a platoon bat
@Ian00003 But plays most of the time though. A backup catcher that got in is also a platoon bat too so what is the difference

My king Bobby Witt Jr
Joe Ryan over Ragans
Jax over Holmes
Kimbrel
Wish MLB would ditch fan voting and just go off stats but money always talks sadly😔😔
