July 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 05:30 PM) That's awesome Neshek made it after what he's gone through. I always confuse him with Cishek, haha. He's the one who used to bedevil us with the Twins and has a funky delivery and has gone through a horrendous series of injuries and persevered, right? Edited July 6, 201411 yr by caulfield12
July 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 05:33 PM) Kazmir and Buerhle were less deserving than Sale, but Kluber was snubbed also and is definitely more deserving. It's that respect issue with managers always giving the nod to players from perennial playoff-contending teams over the Klubers and Richards of the world, who are enjoying their first unqualified seasons of success. Unless it's someone like Felix Hernandez. But there's no way that ASG manager is going to snub Scherzer...doesn't happen. Edited July 6, 201411 yr by caulfield12
July 6, 201411 yr Author I'll take Alexei and Abreu, but if Sale is indeed in the final vote then we have to vote him in
July 6, 201411 yr Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 1m Jose Abreu and Alexei Ramirez both named all-stars by the player vote.
July 6, 201411 yr Author Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 11m Clayton Kershaw: 87.1 IP, 13 starts, 10-2, 192 ERA+, NL All-Star. Chris Sale: 87.1 IP, 13 starts, 8-1, 188 ERA+, not an AL All-Star.
July 6, 201411 yr Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 11m Clayton Kershaw: 87.1 IP, 13 starts, 10-2, 192 ERA+, NL All-Star. Chris Sale: 87.1 IP, 13 starts, 8-1, 188 ERA+, not an AL All-Star.
July 6, 201411 yr I'll take Alexei and Abreu, but if Sale is indeed in the final vote then we have to vote him in Yeah, it could be the most Chicago slogan ever: VOTE FOR SALE
July 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) How is Josh Harrison an all-star? That doesn't make much sense, since McCutcheon's also in there for the Pirates. Versatility in the late innings?
July 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 05:49 PM) Congrats to Alexei and Jose, but no Sale is major BS. Kershaw threw a no hitter, the Dodgers are leading the NL West by 1/2 game, he's in the 2nd biggest media market in the U.S. and he has 5X the name recognition of Sale. His not being included is even more of a surprise.
July 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 06:47 PM) Abreu made it, Rizzo didn't....that ends that debate this is awesome lol
July 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 06:45 PM) Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 11m Clayton Kershaw: 87.1 IP, 13 starts, 10-2, 192 ERA+, NL All-Star. Chris Sale: 87.1 IP, 13 starts, 8-1, 188 ERA+, not an AL All-Star. Sale pitching in the American League with a DH makes those numbers more impressive for Sale. Edited July 6, 201411 yr by Soxfest

July 6, 201411 yr Author Jeff Passan @JeffPassan For those wondering how Josh Harrison is an All-Star and Anthony Rendon or Anthony Rizzo or a whole lot of others aren't ... I got nothing.
July 6, 201411 yr Ask any left-handed hitter in the American League? Which pitcher do you hate facing more: Sale or Buehrle?
July 6, 201411 yr What's with all of the relief pitchers? Is that some rule? There are numerous starters better than any of those relief pitchers. Watch them put Samardzija on the AL team if a spot opens up. Edited July 6, 201411 yr by GreenSox
