On Monday, Major League Baseball will release updated numbers on the fan voting that will determine the starting position players in next month’s All-Star Game.
A look between the lines suggests Cardinal Nation is either not interested or perhaps even protesting after back-to-back missed postseasons and the rocky first half of 2018.
No sane person would describe the Cardinals’ season as thrilling to this point. And I’ll admit it has become easy to ignore the All-Star fan vote. Involving all is a fine idea, but a process that promotes ballot-stuffing sure seems to distort the exercise to build traffic for the league’s website.
