The Awful Star Game should absolutely be a thing though. Get the worst players together and let them duke it out over nine absolutely dreadful innings.

[@_HJ_K]

No disrespect to minor league players, but wouldn’t that just make a regular (above average) minor league game?💀 aren’t those awful players look awful because they are less competent than those more talented big league players? Again not being disrespectful to minor league players, my point is gathering all the “bad” players from the big league to play an Awful Star Game would not be as special as having some of the best players in the leagues to play an All Star Game, I think. Or maybe for the sole purpose of humiliating those who got voted, maybe💀 but otherwise I don’t think it would be that different from a minor league game

[@RJPDay]

Glad that there are even Yankee fans who can see how bad this pick was. There are probably a few other guys who weren’t talked about who deserve in over Clay Holmes also. But those two should have definitely been in over Holmes.

[@snerdterguson]

Shouldn't be on the AS team, but also doesn't deserve even a fraction of the hate he gets. Dud has had a TERRIBLE run but after the run, his ERA was at 3.00 his ERA+ was 137. So after having a very bad month, he's ONLY 37% better than an average pitcher. Many fans act like he's some bum.

[@snerdterguson]

So to be a real Yankee fan I had to think Joey Gallo should have been in the 2022 ASG? Damn. Been watching them since 87, been to about 200 AA games when they played in Albany-Colonie, have collected Yankees cards and autographs for about 35 years and count meeting Yogi Berra as one of the highlights of my life... And now I hear I'm not a real fan because I don't just blindly say every Yankee should be on the AS team. Damn.

As a yankees fan, how Cardiac Clay got picked over Gil is beyond explanation

[@thegreenpixel5090]

Gil reallly struggled recently

[@RJPDay]

Agreed. Even though Gil hasn’t been as good lately, he has still been way better than Holmes this year. Plus, Gil had one bad outing that inflated his ERA massively, whereas Holmes has had multiple outings where he gives Yankees fans trouble. Heck, his ERA over his last 15 games is over 5.00.

[@SABRMatt2010]

People thinking Kimbrel should be in but NOT noticing Andres Munoz is absolutely ridiculous.

[@randomman3321]

He's has better stats than Holmes. The only stats Holmes leads In is innings pitched and games played

[@thekingofkingsrp]

Even worse is Holmes getting in over both.

[@Zerobot-r9n]

I want to play devils advocate and be against Kimbrel but it’s hard to argue with his success this year. It helps to have consistency. Rob Thompson and the Phillies like to shuffle the deck more. It just doesn’t work that way for kimbrel. He’s been much better off in Baltimore. Great defense behind him too

[@danr154]

Kimbrel was atrocious on the Cubs too in 2019. Literally the reason they missed the playoffs single handedly blowing 5 or 6 games in the 2nd half.

[@MACandanedo1]

Arguably Taylor Scott from the Houston Astros has better stats than all three with more innings thrown and still a lower ERA. Though he is pitching about 1 strike per inning, but in my opinion I don't care how many strikeouts a picture is able to get. If they give up runs we lose a game so era to me is more indicative of if you are being an effective pitcher as it is the stat based on runs given up by the pitcher. Yes I am a Houston fan but honestly I had no clue he was having this good of a season until I found out about him missing the all star game, which initially made me think. Of course he's no Superstar pitcher, But then they put up his stats and I was like I guess I'm wrong about how good of a pitcher he is. And now hearing who actually made it in is mind-blowing because that was arguably the worst reliever on the ticket. To me, this only helps to make the MLB All-Star game less relevant and more of a joke than it had previously been made.

[@michaelrotter1134]

Then there's the SF Giants whose bullpen has kept then relevant. The Giants have until just this week been playing with a 2 man rotation. This is just another reason I see the allstar game as a popularity contest

[@mikeyf7039]

Ronel Blanco deserved a spot.

[@Rocky2418]

As a Yankee fan, I wholeheartedly agree with this video. Never mind the obvious fact that he shouldn't be going to the All-Star Game - he straight up should not be the Yankee closer. Even in the first month and a half of the season, when he was doing well, it seemed like he was always in trouble and just barely getting out of jams. I didn't want him closing games even then. All that being said, that's clearly the least of the team's worries...

[@phill22221]

Let’s ignore Ronel Blanco and Taylor Scott who’s numbers outshine all three of thiese dudes in this video

[@franklintheturtle217]

Yankees fans will tell you themselves there is no future in Clay Holmes as a closer.

[@JasonThomasLionHeart]

As a Yankee fan, I couldn't agree more. Even when he was getting great results, I knew it was a fluke. Clay Holmes is NOT and elite closer, he is barely passable and gives up way too many runs and baserunners to be effective.

[@michaelmclaughlin4163]

[@ninjahotdog9036]

As a Yankee fan, Clay Holmes is one of the most overrated players we’ve ever had. The innate desire in our fanbase and organization to have another Mariano Rivera has turned into an awful at worst, mediocre at best reliever, into the most overhyped player ever, just because he had a hot streak in his first year with us.

Got picked so that's good but yea I was shocked lol*

[@lesliejacoby9137]

Do saves not matter to you because you didn't bring it up once in essentially a discussion between which closer should really be in the all star game lol. Btw for numbers Munoz is 14 in 16 chances with 6 holds and 2 - 3 record, and Kimbrel 23 for 27 with 4 holds and a 5 - 2 record but I wouldn't look at the record too much because that usually is connected to how good your team is at bailing you out when you mess up at getting the save or not holding a tie and its quite clear which pitcher is working with the better offense. Oh and to make this whole thing worse Holmes isn't even the best reliever on the Yankees imo so ye all star voting is great 😃.

[@iTalkStudios]

No, saves barely matter tbh. Like yeah cool, but what good is a save if you came in with a 3 run lead and gave up 2 runs on 2 bombs? Great, you got the save but got rocked in the one inning you pitched the entire game. That's how I see it

[@lesliejacoby9137]

@@iTalkStudios I mean I can see that but: 1. It's one of the most high pressure slots in baseball and if it was that simple everyone would be doing it but they don't. Teams make and miss the postseason based on the closer and it's very nice having the confidence that you got one arm reserved to close it out especially come postseason time. Heck it even strikes fear for the other team to just get ready for tomorrow. 2. Before we adjust the stat of "save" we need to take away the ability to get a win after blowing the save which is probably the stupidest thing ever. 3. If I were to adjust the save stat I don't think I can go lower than 2 earned runs because even the best would lose a lot with those margins and that wouldn't change the standard for lockdown pitcher coming in with 3 run lead or less (or men on base already risking that 3 run gap). Oh, also side thing and just my opinion but a closer giving up 2 solo shots to still get the save is more rewarding than the starting pitcher who consistently gives up 4 runs or more to be baled out by his offense and just pitch 5 - 6 innings. Interesting to hear your thoughts on it still.
