There are always a wide variety of reactions when the MLB All-Star lineups are announced, and this year was no exception.
Fans often cry out when their favorite players are left off the squad, but that is bound to happen when you have to select the top players at each position. If the cutoff point were higher, fans would still complain about the new borderline players who were left off the expanded roster.
Twitter gives fans the ability to connect more directly with their favorite athletes and sports personalities. Many managers wish this connection didn?t exist because it gives the players a direct line of communication to the world without the guidance of a public relations manager. Fortunately for fans, managers can?t completely restrict their access.
"Snubbed" is a term that always surfaces when the All-Star Game rolls around. People are quick to compare stats of players who made the roster and ones who didn?t to prove they deserved a spot on the team. It?s easy to pull out rogue stats to prove that a player was snubbed and they belong in a spot over someone else. You simply have to dig to find the right ones and a case can be made for almost anyone to get a spot on the roster for the Midsummer Classic.
Whether a player was surprised to make the team in the first place or surprised to be left off, there were plenty of reactions when the 2013 MLB All-Star Game rosters was released. Here are some of the top reactions for this season's selections.
