Anyone else been keeping up with this? Now 8 Royals players lead All Star voting.

The latest to take the lead?



Fans do realize that winning the ASG is actually a big deal right? Voting in .204 hitters probably isn't too smart.

It's going to be Royals vs NL.

Lowest OPS in all of Major League Baseball Is the leading vote getter at 2B ahead of Kipnis and Altuve. But Royals fans will still defend it


Mike Trout will be the only non-Royals starter right now.

This just shows how dumb fan voting is.

It also shows how the bigger mistake is letting the ASG determine home field advantage in the World Series.

The all star game could make a difference in the outcome of the World Series and the arguably the worst player in baseball will be standing on second base.

- coaches voting 10%

It will have to, it's not just Royals fans voting a ton, it's one huge troll on the system, there are tons of NL fans voting for all Royals players and sharing it on social media, etc. Essentially throwing the game.

Throw one pitch and then put the players that deserve to be there on the field.
