Be sure to get your votes in for Donaldson to go to the ASG. Don Cherry was urging Canadians to vote last night on HNIC - he's getting a lot of attention and deserves to be there

It's not going to matter, Royals fans have decided it's going to be the NL against the Royals. The snubs in the AL are going to be mind-blowing.

Have to think Manfred is going to step in re: KC. There's precedent.

From wikipedia:

In 1957, fans of the Cincinnati Reds stuffed the ballot box and elected 7 Reds players to start in the All-Star Game: Johnny Temple (2B), Roy McMillan (SS), Don Hoak (3B), Ed Bailey (C), Frank Robinson (LF), Gus Bell (CF), and Wally Post (RF), and the only non-Red elected to start for the National League was St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Stan Musial. While the Reds were a great offensive team, most baseball observers agreed that they did not deserve seven starters in the All-Star Game. An investigation ordered by Commissioner Ford Frick showed that over half of the ballots cast came from Cincinnati, as the Cincinnati Enquirer had printed up pre-marked ballots and distributed them with the Sunday newspaper to make it easy for Reds fans to vote often for their favorite stars.

Commissioner Ford Frick appointed Willie Mays of the New York Giants and Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves to substitute for Reds players Gus Bell and Wally Post, and took fan voting rights away in future games; Bell was kept as a reserve, while Post was injured and would have been unable to play in any event. Managers, players, and coaches picked the entire team until 1969, when the vote for starters again returned to the fans; to prevent a repeat of this incident, since 1970 until the start of internet voting, each team has been given the same number of ballots to hand out. In 1998, that number was roughly 400,000 ballots.

The 1988 Game was surrounded by tacit accusations against Oakland A's fans of stuffing the ballot box in favor of catcher Terry Steinbach, whose qualifications as a starter were questioned by some sportswriters.[9][10][11] Steinbach wound up being named the game's Most Valuable Player, hitting a home run and a sacrifice fly to get both RBIs in a 2–1 win.[12]

Since the dawn of the internet age, online voting has again led to ballot stuffing. In 1999, Chris Nandor, a Red Sox fan, utilized a simple computer program to vote for Nomar Garciaparra over 39,000 times. Upon discovery, MLB disallowed the votes.[13] Major League Baseball assures that they have taken precautions to guard against this.[citation needed]

Honestly, I kind of hope Donaldson and Martin are the Jays' only ASG representatives this year. There is one off day between now mid-July, and it seems like they're going to continue to ride Bautista/Encarnacion hard even though they both clearly aren't 100%. A few days off would go a long way.

Sanchez to the DL.

Basically the same as if they'd just skipped him one more time.

So this is what it's like when that kind of inning happens to the other team.

LOL Red Sox

EDIT: Or more like LOL Pedroia

I was pretty sure that ball hit the Red Sox player's fingers that Farrell challenged, but maybe it doesn't matter since he took his hand off the bat and extended his hand toward the ball or something?

OK, nope it's definitely LOL the entire team of the Boston Red Sox.

I thought it hit the bat, hard for the ball to make that kind of change in direction otherwise.

This is like beating up on special needs kids. I feel kind of bad.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL first pitch of a new pitcher

loled

This game looked like it would be full of run-good in the 1st inning when Donaldson snagged that screamer and turned a DP. Since then the Jays got every break imaginable. Love it.

Time to take out some regs and give playing time to the bench guys.

Yeah, wouldn't mind them sitting Edwin and Bats at this point.

comeback is on

Uh oh, the LOL Red Sox is transferring over to the Blue Jays now.

i'm severely rustled right now

I take it back

lol, 3 million people each undoing everything they've done in the last 7 minutes.

Blowing this lead would be something else.

This is excellent. Blue Jays GOAT.
