The Royals are stuffing the ballot box! There is no way they should be starting at that many positions.

Donaldson deserves at least 2x as many votes as Moustakas.

Posted: **Tue Jun 9, 2015 2:05 pm**

C'mon raps fans. Lets get Donaldson and Martin in the game. They deserve it.

Posted: **Tue Jun 9, 2015 2:13 pm**

donaldson is arguably the best third-baseman in all of baseball and could possibly win MVP. it would be an utter travesty if that neanderthal moustakas started at 3B over him. please vote.

Posted: **Tue Jun 9, 2015 3:58 pm**

At the very least vote Donaldson (and likely Martin and Bautista. Damn, Travis stacks up well despite being hur). For other positions vote for worthy candidates that might actually knock off the silly Royals, some of which barely deserve to start for their own team, much less in the ASG.

Posted: **Tue Jun 9, 2015 4:00 pm**

The Royals might have started their campaign too early, giving everyone else a chance to head off this travesty.

Posted: **Tue Jun 9, 2015 4:12 pm**

i would actually vote of all the royals, so that they can end this all-star fan vote-in bull.

Posted: **Tue Jun 9, 2015 5:12 pm**

Only voting all 8 Royals in will lead to change. They're not just leading, they're destroying the ballot box. It's obvious this unlimited voting thing is not working. Might as well see this through.

Posted: **Tue Jun 9, 2015 6:32 pm**

haha what a joke. I agree, lets all vote for the Royals and maybe they'll stop this ridiculous method of choosing players for a game that "matters".

Posted: **Tue Jun 9, 2015 7:02 pm**

Voted 35 times for all Royals and Phillies. I like the subtle hint once you reach the limit that you need to switch email addresses to keep voting. They don't say "you can't vote anymore" they say "you can't vote with this email address anymore".

I think the all-star game rosters should be picked by a vote by MLB GMs and Coaches, with a rule that they not vote for their own team players.... That would be a more fair method

Then the Fans vote for who will Start from that roster.... Just to keep the fan base involved.

The game actually matters, it should be treated as if it does

Alex Rios is 4th in outfield voting. Are you **** kidding me?

KC will look more like a joke if they actually succeed at this. Of course, knowing that city after having lived in it for 6 years, they'll likely just wear it as a badge of honour.

Jokes, NL is taking the world series home field advantage thanks for KC fans... smh

Posted: **Fri Jun 12, 2015 6:37 pm**

With the amount of stats available in baseball to tell us which players are actually elite, they should just make a computer program to pick the rosters. As long as they use plate appearances to make sure everyday players are the people picked by the program, there wouldn't be any issues.

That is the thing that gets me. You cant have it both ways... if you are going to be playing for something don't have any fan input

As a fan of an AL team, I think we should do the reverse and vote the worst players in NL for allstar starters

Posted: **Fri Jun 12, 2015 7:20 pm**

I dont see it as a big deal, and I think its actually cool. I mean, I would try to do it with all the Blue Jays. Maybe im just an ****.

Posted: **Sun Jun 14, 2015 1:21 am**

I think JD might get a boost.
