Anthony Rendon‘s name was not called on Sunday night during the 2014 All-Star Game Selection Show, as Chase Utley won the honor of starting at second base on July 15 at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Midsummer Classic.

If you’re immediately yelling “snub!” at the news of this, then hop aboard. We feel the same.
Rendon has slashed .282/.340/.483 with 12 home runs, 50 RBI, five triples, 94 hits and 60 runs scored. He has played great defensively at both second and third, and the Washington Nationals have been able to plug him in anywhere in the lineup.
He’s not completely out of the All-Star Game just yet, though, as MLB rightfully named him a member of the NL Final Vote:
