Giants Splash: Posey wins All-Star catching vote by a landslide

Posey wins All-Star catching vote by a landslide Posey ran away with the starting catcher spot in National League All-Star voting, gaining nearly 10 million votes and beating the Cardinals' Yadier Molina by nearly 2.4 million. Players vote for most pitchers and reserves. The players not picked in fan balloting will be announced Monday. [...] he did note that he must pick players from three teams that were not represented in the fan or player voting. The Giants designated Ishikawa for assignment Tuesday when they needed a spot for outfielder Ryan Lollis. Had he cleared waivers, there's a chance the Giants could have kept him at Triple-A. With the league's approval, the Giants made an interesting decision to fly back to San Francisco on Monday morning instead of Sunday night after the game. When the Giants flew home from New York immediately after a night game on the last trip, they looked dead for three games against the Diamondbacks and were swept by scores of 1-0, 4-2 and 4-0. Hunter Pence, recovering from wrist tendinitis, took batting practice on the field for the first time since his return to the disabled list. Bochy said he expects Jeremy Affeldt (shoulder injury) to be ready to return for the start of the second half.
