Ep. 4 - The MLB All Star Game is Broken

In this weeks episode we break down the 2018 MLB All Star Game and what is wrong with the current process. First we lay out the starting lineups for both the AL and NL (00:44) closely followed by our opening statements about how the All Star game is broken (01:44). While we believe Joe Jimenez is deserving of his roster spot (01:53) we believe that Nicholas Castellanos was robbed of his first All Star selection and we explain why (02:29). Following our explanation of why Castellanos was robbed we lay out reasons why two of the reserves of the AL roster that did not deserve to make it over Casty (03:15). Later we discuss how the All Star game is essentially a popularity contest (4:45) and voting issues that come along with this mentality. Just before we end we break down why Bryce Harper isn't an All Star in our opinion (06:11) tying it back into why the game is broken. Following the Harper discussion we discuss the All Star snubs of 2018 (07:10) and we end this weeks episode by breaking down why the All Star system is broken (09:42) and what we think can be done to fix the voting proccess (10:50).
