thats exactly what it means

It's still a game with players from all teams in the league joking around and taking selfies.
and then playing a game that matters

The fact that two teams (who may or may not have 1 or 2 players in the game) make the World Series does not make it a serious contest.
it absolutely does

When a game has actual meaning, it ceases to be an exhibition game.

Well, you should inform all the other players out of the playoff race...to get all super serious and help their weekly league opponents gain a homefield advantage in the playoffs.

I mean no one knows who is going to make it and I doubt any player is thinking about that (especially the ones who have no chance) - and players get at bats like Little League (everyone gets to play, right?) - it's not remotely a real baseball game.

It's still an exhibition for the fans. MLB just went full retard to try and fool people it matters so fans of 1st place teams tune in. That's it. Fans of middle pack of last place teams don't care and players on bad teams in the All-Star game don't care about giving the Yankees or Red Sox homefield advantage.

if coaches treated it as a game that matters I wouldn't have a problem, but pitchers going 1 inning, batters getting 2 AB, etc makes it worse. Give Trout and Harper 4 or 5 AB
