It’s great to get fans involved in voting and social media. The A’s are promoting the game by telling players to vote with certain hashtags. As you can see by the link provided in the tweets, they’re asking fans to use certain #hashtags.

And in a sense it’s a good idea, but it could have been thought out better.

They are as follows.

• #JohnJaSHOW
  John Jaso

• #MossIsBoss
  Brandon Moss

• #MoreSizemore
  Scott Sizemore

• #BringerOfVotes
  Josh Donaldson

• #Jedhead
  Jed Lowrie

• #CY4ASG
  Chris Young

• #VoteYo
  Yoenis Cespedes
• #HotCoco
  Coco Crisp

• #Reddickulous
  Josh Reddick

• #StrengthSpeedStyle
  The A’s Outfield

• #GreenIn13
  The Oakland Athletics

It’s a cool thing, but if you go to the page from the tweet, you can see that they’ve gathered all the tweets that use those #hashtags.

Unfortunately, more than half of them have nothing to do with the A’s. #Hashtags like #HotCoco and #MossIsBoss have nothing to do with baseball.  I have no idea what #JedHead is either.

Good luck, even though fan voting is one of the least favorite things I like about the All-Star Game.
