Since the last time the Philadelphia Phillies qualified for the postseason, 2011, the club has had just two Major League Baseball All-Star Game starters — Chase Utley (2014) and the late Roy Halladay (2011).
The last time the Phillies have had multiple starters in the Midsummer Classic — Utley (second base), Raul Ibanez (left field) and Shane Victorino (center field) in 2009.
Adding multiple prior All-Stars this past offseason — including six-time All-Star Bryce Harper, five-time All-Star Andrew McCutchen, two-time All-Star Jean Segura, and one-time All-Star J.T. Realmuto — the Phillies appear poised for multiple All-Star starters for the first time in a decade at the 90th Midsummer Classic at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.
VOTE NOW | 2019 Google MLB All-Star Ballot
That, of course, cannot happen without the support of fans. On Tuesday at 2 p.m., Major League Baseball opened its revamped balloting format, including two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters —"The Primary" and "The Starters Election."

Through Friday, June 21, at 4 p.m., fans may vote for Harper, McCutchen, Segura, Realmuto — along with Rhys Hoskins, Cesar Hernandez, Maikel Franco and Scott Kingery — in "The Primary" at MLB.com, Phillies.com, and the MLB At Bat and MLB Ballpark apps, up to five times in any 24-hour period.
Fans can also vote on Google by searching "MLB Vote," or the names of their favorite players.
The top three vote-getters at each position (including nine outfielders) per league from "The Primary" will be announced during MLB Network’s Astros-Yankees coverage on Friday, June 21, at 7 p.m. They will advance to "The Starters Election," which begins noon on Wednesday, June 26.
Votes will reset for a 28-hour voting window that ends Thursday, June 27, at 4 p.m.; starters will be unveiled three hours later on ESPN, with pitchers and reserves to be announced on Sunday, June 30, at 5:30 p.m.
MLB.com explains the revamped voting process:
The fans remain responsible for the position players in American League and National League lineups — that’s eight players in the NL and nine in the AL, including the designated hitter.
The difference is that the voting process, as we once knew it, now only constitutes one element of that selection. Where once the top vote-getter at each position during a single voting period advanced straight to the All-Star starting lineup, now the top three vote-getters at each position per league (and top nine in the outfield) will advance from that Primary round to The Starters Election.
Voting limits:
How often can I vote during The Primary?
On MLB Platforms, fans can vote five times per 24-hour period. So if you cast your first vote at 9 a.m. one day, you can vote five times total between then and 9 a.m. the following day.At Google Search, using the search “MLB Vote” or searching for player names, fans can fill out one complete ballot and vote for every position, or vote for up to 17 unique players per day. So if, say, you want to vote for multiple NL first basemen, you can do so, but each one will count against your total of 17 players.
Also, note that you can vote for a specific player only once per day via the Google ballot.
How many times can I vote during the 28-hour Starters Election?
Just once. So make it count!
While the now-retired Victorino once benefited from the Final Vote, that, too, is now a thing of the past. The final roster spot in each league will be determined as part of a combination of Player Ballot selections and choices made by the Commissioner’s Office for all of the pitchers and position player reserves.
Which Phillies do you think deserve a 2019 All-Star nod?
