All-Star Game voting opens, and there already is angst about the Royals
Voting for the All-Star Game began on Sunday, and well, fans around the nation haven’t forgotten last year.
Royals fans voted early and often and had eight players leading the vote at one point, although four ended up starting.
Still, some people are worried about a repeat of the early voting when Royals fans showed their prowess at online voting.
Royals crowd is really quiet, because they're all busy voting their players into the All Star Game.

What's the point of an All-Star Game ballot? They should already just schedule a Royals/Cubs game in San Diego in July instead????

It won't matter if the Royals get voted into the ASG. Their manager will just put them as he will manage the AS team. #WhatASham

The All-Star team is just gonna be ALL the #Royals players again, so it doesn't matter when you vote

So the ASG voting begins so Royals fans instead of breathing and eating will be voting until July

With the ASG ballots open, I fully expect every Royals player in a starting spot and the MLB removing votes in the near future.
