Good morning everyone!
Stop whatever you’re doing and make sure you go vote for Jean Segura for the Final Vote in the All-Star Game! You can vote as many times as you want, and you can even pick your favorite National League player to couple with Jean! The Giants have been kind enough to provide their support for Jean, so maybe we could return the favor by voting for Belt.

Around the league...
- Not entirely sure how All-Stars are selected? Eric Stephen has a helpful explanation for you.
- Where do you stand on this issue?
I’ve always had a soft spot for every team having an #AllStarGame rep, but Salvador Perez making it with a .213 BA and .255 OBP might have put me over the edge. Then again, the players voted him onto the team. The fans routinely do a better job than players now with their picks.
