Extra, as I understand it.  “Commissioner’s pick.”

Thanks. I hadn't seen the details anywhere. I'm happy for them both. Reminds me of Cal's last ASG. I hope they both have a great time and play well.

Lopez made it.  Didn't see any other O's selected.  Wasn't really listening.  It was cool that Miguel Cabrera was selected.

Lopez is a worthy selection and it’s not a pity pick like Ty Wigginton in 2010 because every team gets one all star.

Very happy for Lopez.  Great to see.

I think Bautista should have gone, too.

Def and Mancini, Mountcastle, Santander & Hays all deserving as well. 
 

Roch nailed it!

You think six players on this team deserve to be All-Stars?

Six.

Santander deserves an All-Star berth?

I'd put AR in before Santander.

Yordan Alvarez went on the IL with a hand injury.  Trea Mancini should have a good chance to be his replacement.

Worthy!:) AS game rosters usually don’t favor those type of positions so no. But sure, look at Santander’s obp despite the average. Both Hays & Mountcastle have been wrecking balls. So yeah, they deserve it. But making it, different conversation.

Hideo Nomo may help out by volunteering Put It on a Tee lessons.

And for an exhibition that's okay!    This time it doesn't count!

You are correct!    Darned memory's fading.

Does anyone feel cheated when your lone AS representative is a reliever?  Not that Lopez isn't deserving, but I don't know, something about it rubs me the wrong way.

If only there weren’t other teams in the league with their own players….
