ChiSox59 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I would have preferred Yoan or the top of the game selection for Timmy even tho he wouldn’t be able to play. But good for Jose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will he have his signature half can of dip in his lip when he is up to bat? The same way that he does it with the White Sox, which is illegal in Chicago might I add. Hopefully he chooses to be a better role model during the all Star game Edited June 30, 2019 by ron883 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I know RBI's dont matter in the metric world but the actual damage and counting stats you have achieved matters for All-star selections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Yes! I feel vindicated again. Congratulations to one class act ... Mr. Jose Abreu, one outstanding baseball player and by all accounts, team leader. JOSE BABY!!! Good job, sir. Have fun at the all star game. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe runs scored and RBIs means nothing to the advanced stat people. I mean I understand those who understand advanced stats are so advanced in their knowledge of modern baseball, but an RBI means you actually knocked in a run. Runs win games. Yet the ability to knock in runs at a rapid rate -- at one of the best rates on the entire team -- means nothing. Baseball has passed me by.

I don’t think anyone hates Abreu except for Ron and most wouldn’t mind seeing him resigned to be our DH going forward once Vaughn takes over 1B. A hometown discount would be nice though. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Popular teams like the Yankees, Cubs, and Red Sox get “popularly good” but not necessarily totally deserving all star selections all the time. Their fans revel in it as a chance to throw their weight around. Meanwhile, a portion of our fans hate on Abreu for receiving the same treatment. I’m proud that one of our players has the reputation of being an all star even if the advanced metrics aren’t totally there. Good for him and good for us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of it that way but you are spot on. It's funny cause Jose's BA is what is sub-standard maybe for an all star. Yet the haters insist BA doesn't matter ... I guess it doesn't matter unless you are Jose Abreu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us like to celebrate when our favorite players get rewarded. Abreu appears to be the kind of guy who not only deserves to be there but will really really enjoy being there.
