HR Derby
 

Anyone been to one? What is your take? I went at the old Yankee Stadium in 2008. I remember Josh Hamilton hitting moon shots and the fans cheering him on. He was so tired that he lost the Derby to Justin Morneau.

Is anyone going to catch, Stanton!? :eek:

i have no cable...so i wont be watching. I went to festivities in mpls a few years ago. it rained all night...but stanton put on a show. it was fun to see balls land in places you dont often see!!!!

He did the same tonight! 497 feet!

Frazier's in tough, he needs to hit 21 to beat Stanton for the Crown.

Frazier with 13. Stanton wins.

2 questionable H/R's. Kid(s) in outfield may have taken 2 away from Frazier?

Giancarlo Stanton wasted no time to unleash an incredible display of power during Monday’s Home Run Derby in San Diego. In the first round, Stanton crushed 24 home runs on 30 swings. He’d go on to hit 61 home runs through three rounds en route to the win over Todd Frazier.

i just read the synopsis...impressive!!!!! he IS...a beast!!!!! Can't wait to see them on youtube or something tomorrow!!!

stop being cheap pete. if you're gonna cut the cord at least get the sports package somewhere. you're too old to be browsing youtube!

Quan... Who gave up cable TV three years ago for a cleaning lady and I have never been happier !!!

Does the cleaning lady hit home runs?

my cleaning duo(husband and wife) hit homeruns in that they've never broken anything of value. They rock!!!!

Who has time for cable when they're on Net54 24/7?

Cable is included in my rent but the only time I use it is to scare off my superstitious local native population.

I thought the derby was fun but can we finally retire that muttering blob that used to be Chris Berman?

get rid of joe buck too...does anyone like him?

I like him. I mean, he's no Jack Buck, but who is?

Hey, Hey, Hey!

I resemble that remark.

I think Joe is pretty good.

But, I'm really impressed with Jessica Mendoza! She really knows the game - Refreshing to see.

I had almost given up on female announcers or analysts since that woman was assigned to a certain number of SEC football games. TERRIBLE!

imo joe buck is fine...he tends to err on the understated side of announcing, which i enjoy more than the over-the-top scream your lung out announcing style.

one thing that irks me is with all the analytics and game data available now some analysts would go overboard with quoting data and statcasts etc. hey you're the color guy, keep it light tell some anecdotes about what's going on with the players. i have google if i wanna dive deep into the stats i can do it on my own time, when i'm on the couch i just wanna be entertained...don't need you to regurgitate what the intern has been doing an hour before game time.

We got to go this year. It was awesome. For my money, no one does All Star like baseball. It has been a wonderful time.

Apparently he has 1 fan :D

Hey, I'll take him any day rather than 'Slip' Carey!
