I didn't see a thread about this.
Other than greed, there is no need for these additional alternative All-Star game uniforms, they are atrocious beer league replicas, if we have to be subject to alternative uniforms why not just make each player wear their city connects instead of flooding the market with another overpriced gaudy production?
I have a feeling Raffy and Duran are about to get hosed out of the All-Star game and it has less to do with their production and more to do with the perception of Red Sox ownership. While I have not been enamored with their pressers, and I think someone should just swat any mic or block any email by John Henry or Sam Kennedy.
I have a friend who is a die hard like me and all year his general opinion has been they are destined for failure, even when they are doing good things on the field despite the lack of support from the FO. I suspect that perception is pervasive. It's comical to me because in 2013 this same friend kept asking me when I was going to jump on board and because Bobby V and some of the other guys on the team had soured me so much the previous few years, I was very late to the party on believing in them, and now I find us in role reversed positions.
To reiterate, man those are ugly AS uniforms. Why not just make them all wear plain green and then let the networks have fun projecting whatever nonsense they want to project to sell advertising at this point?

I’ll be shocked if Duran and Houck don’t make it and pretty surprised if Devers doesnt

Did Duran get passed over? And Wong? They just announced reserves. Duran and Devers made the team as well.

The right choices. I don’t think Wong was snubbed, he’s been good but there’s a lot of good catchers in the AL this year.
Quick glance says Lindor is the most egregious snub

So awesome that Duran and Houck are in. It hasn’t been an easy road, so this is such a great reward for their work.

Duran, Houck and Devers are all very solid selections. With this record, really can’t expect more than three (I appreciated it’s an individual achievement not team).

Would like to see Wong have made it but glad he gets a break from squatting.

How did Holmes make it in over Jansen? His ERA is 2.08 ! Almost 1 full run better than Clayton’s 3.00 era.17 to 19saves . What am I missing?
