What is up Cubs fans?
And welcome back to Cubs Roundtable.
I'm Joey Polizzi, talking about all things Cubs.
And MLB released the first set of All-Star voting, and the Cubs did not have much representation.
At the top of each position, Michael Busch, Carson Kelly, Nico Hoerner, Alex Bregman, and Dan V. Swanson all ranked outside the top five, but inside the top 10.
So they were in that six to 10 range.
And then for the outfielders, it was Seiya Suzuki and P.J.
Armstrong inside the top 20, but both of them are outside the top 12, and Moises Ballesteros, seventh most votes at the DH spot.
So Cubs not looking likely for any of their players to move on to phase two of the All-Star voting.
But phase one is still going on until June 25th, so Cubs fans, get those votes in for those players.
But it's not looking likely, as a lot of these players are down and 100,000, you know, votes away from getting into that top two spot in each of those spots.
But the one surprising thing in my eyes from this whole voting ballot update was P.J.
Armstrong's 14th place spot.
P.J.
Armstrong just got a little over 2,000 votes, and that's a little surprising considering P.J.
Armstrong has been one of the most impactful players in Major League Baseball this season.
His four war is the third-highest in all of baseball and the second-highest among all position players.
Only Shohei Ohtani and Christopher Sanchez has a higher war than P.J.
Armstrong at this point in the season.
So P.J.
Armstrong not getting the love that he deserves from fans.
He's also been one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the past few weeks, batting over 375 over his last 18 games with six home runs, six stolen bases, and 10 RBIs.
So although P.J.
Armstrong is not likely to move on to phase two of All-Star voting, which means he will not be a starter in this year's Midsummer Classic, all signs point to P.J., P.J.
Armstrong making the All-Star game and earning his second straight All-Star selection.
But let me know what you guys think about where the Cubs currently stand in their All-Star voting.
And as always, guys, go Cubs, go.
