The Cubs' pitching is imploding and I love it!
-
Braun! This game is going very well.

Can HR Contest Players NOT Be On All Star Team
rcc replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I can't believe Thames didn't get a call for the HR Derby. So unfair. -
Braun should definitely be the DH at Yankee Stadium.
-
The official scorer changed the error after the game to Thames and rightly so. Shaw's errorless streak remains intact.
-
Torres makes it interesting but thanks to Broxton this game is over.
-
Tampa beat the Cubs at home 6-5.
-
Villar just doesn't think sometimes. Frustrating to watch. Thames gets another one. Time for him to get hot again.
-
Sogard hitting for Jimmy. 7 strong innings, 8 strikeouts with no walks. No earned runs. Sogard gets a hit and Suter runs for him. I guess he has a bad ankle.
-
Jimmy got out of that one. Great game so far.

Well, I am very happy that some "random dude" like Corey Knebel is going to the All Star game. Now baseball fans will know who Corey is and what he has accomplished this year. I am unhappy that some "random dude" like Travis Shaw isn't. I think the All Star Game is a big deal for the player. It gives him recognition outside his team's fanbase and is probably a lot of fun for him. I think Travis would have been happy to be a part of it all, but he will get to spend more time with his daughter.

True, but beside the point. I was talking about what sample size we should base their performance on. There is nothing that says at least the last year's worth of performance shouldn't count. It's how we measure everything else in baseball. We don't have a first half MVP. We don't take the first half winners and second half winners. So why should we choose all stars based on one half on one season? It's simply because some people believe how well a player starts the season should be the only determining factor. Obviously plenty of people feel differently or Bryant wouldn't have a shot at it while Shaw doesn't. It's fine to believe only this season should count when you vote but that doesn't mean people who take more into consideration are wrong. There Is at least as much reason to take more into consideration than a player having a hot start to a season than not Personally I think there is more reason to take more into account than not. So why not just pick the All Stars at the beginning of the year based on the highest WAR the previous 3 years? The All Star game is for players fans like and to reward players that had good first halfs. You're putting way too much thought into what an All Star should be. By your thinking our All Star should be Braun because he's the best player on the team and has been for a few years. But he's been no where near our best player this year and in no way should he be an All Star this year. Agreed. It's not name recognition it's what a player has done this year and is a way to reward that player for doing so well.

Shaw is the June Player of the Month. The Red Sox chose the wrong third baseman and Stearns got a good one.
-
Arcia now hitting .293. The kid is hitting well to go with his exceptional defense and as we saw today his exceptional base running. All Star caliber.
-
Suter now Blazek doing well.
-
Are the Orioles that bad or is Suter that good? He did well in his 6 innings of work. He just might have earned an extended stay in Milwaukee until Chase gets back.
-
Aaron Judge for the Yankees is a rookie having a fantastic first half. Corey Dickerson for Tampa is having a great first half. They are both All Stars. I don't care what Travis did the second half of last season. He is having a fantastic year for the Crew this year and deserves to be an All Star this year. Justin Turner should also be an All Star. Bryant's numbers this year aren't as good. All Stars should be having great years up to the game. Not resting on laurels from the past.
-
I'm disappointed that Travis isn't on the final vote. I was going to vote but shut it down. If there were no Brewers there why should I. ESPN only cares about pushing big city teams. I don't like any of their broadcasters and never watch. Today the first place Brewers will play the Orioles and is the free game on MLB.tv today. Travis will have time to spend with his daughter. Eric can use the rest. Orlando will get there someday.
-
Corey made the All Star game. The only Brewer to make it. I was hoping Shaw and Thames would make it as a reserve. https://sports.yahoo.com/2017-mlb-star-starters-aaron-judge-leads-way-al-231024045.html

Pitching back to being frustrating today. The Cubs have already won.
-
I like that the club is in first place by 3 games. Is this division the best in the league. No. But the Brewers are playing well enough to have been in first for quite a while now. The guys are doing well but CC and his coaching staff have to get kudos also. If the Brewers make the playoffs I think CC should be manager of the year.
-
Either put that in blue or I'm going to find a pumping brake pedal meme. 3 games is nothing to sneeze at! I know this should have been posted in the Optimism thread though.
-
If Arcia could have hit this way all season he might have had a chance in the All Star voting this year. His time will come.
-
Now that the relief pitching is doing well there is hope. The division is weak of course and the Cubs aren't running away with it as everyone expected but the Crew has done well and deserve it. The Cards wish they could be where the Brewers are right now.
-
The Crew running away with the division! Who knew.
