Rays learning from the yankees.

Runner on 3rd with no outs and didn't get them home. Good stuff

Satander made the all star game?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Buxton takes shits with more talent.

What do these people look at.

I'd put Buxton in over Santander for sure, but Santander's still a good major leaguer. 121 OPS+ over the last 2.5 years and a 125 OPS+. I don't think he'd rank that highly on an all-time list of worst All-Star selections.

it's crazy to think Buxton's got a career WAR of 23.4 with all the time he's missed. crazy to see a guy average 5.1 WAR per 162 (which would stack up to some Hall of Famers), but he's never eclipsed that figure in a single season. too bad, he is an awesome talent.

Its more so that Santander has a ghastly .298 OBP. Has .7 less War than Buxton in 17 more games(that's incredible) and is virtually current version Stanton contract. Who everyone says is washed.

O's have like 7 guys in already. Casual fans are not asking for Santander.

For the record I don't think Buxton should be in, I'm sure there are others more deserving. Hell, unless I'm still mistaken Brent Rooker is still not in.

I just don't need to watch the 5-9th best players on some teams. Especially when they are randos.

Probably the fan votes, and that dude had a mammoth June. But even as an Orioles fan, I don’t get it. I don’t think of ’All Star’ when I think of Santander.

That was an ugly series. Although I think a young team was bound to be worn out by having only one day off from the end of May through June, and then rolling onto a West Coast trip.

Those are the breaks, and you gotta deal with them though. The pitching is a little worrying, although I think Kremer will bounce back.

Also, going to say that we need to change the dynamic here a little bit because we have way too many left-handed hitters right now and that has exposed us with Shoto and Steele taking us to task. Bring up Mayo to platoon with Ryan O’Hearn, and I think it’s time one of Urias or Mateo got shipped out.
