Home Run Derby 2014

[Season Over]

Haha! Bunch of Spanish speaking players joking in Spanish; Trout in the middle of them smiling. Does he know Spanish?

 

Trout speaks every language fluently.

I would imagine if nothing else you would pick up bits and pieces just spending entire seasons in clubhouses with a bunch of guys speaking it.

Lol probably not. He looked like that guy who would come up to a group of people already having a conversation and pretend like he knows what they are talking about by smiling and laughing along

 

poor guy

[Jason]

I just turned the derby on and remembered how much I dislike Chris Berman. I wish he would go away.

poor guy

This could be historic. The only moment that Mike Trout has ever been Awkward. Ever!

[Jason]

I wonder how drunk Puig and Aybar get tonight?

I wish they'd just have the sounds of the stadium with the PA and maybe some mic'd up players on the sidelines.

I don't mind announcers but Berman is annoying.

Poor Trout

[bloodbrother]

Can somebody inform Chris Berman that it's called sabermetrics, not "sabermatics"

[Kenny]

judging by Puig's performance, I'd say he was already drunk

[m0nkey]

What the **** todd frazier

[jshep]

What happened to Stanton

[jshep]

I don't want to live in a world where Stanton hit 0 HRs in that round.

Sure did. ESPN's production has been god awful today

 

they've had numerous graphic errors

 

 

 

Add in Berman's bad commentary and just getting things wrong all the time "sabermatics". They have also done a terrible job of actually tracking the HR's, often missing where they land/sometimes missing the HR completely

[m0nkey]

I blame the bracket system for stanton

[nate]

This is ****in awful.  Didn't think it could be more boring.

[bloodbrother]

Lol did Frazier seriously make the finals with like 7 combined HR's throughout this entire thing?

[CaliAngel]

Cespedes is locked in.

[Brandon]

I turned it off, this ****ing sucked.

 

No one really crushed and dudes generally sucked, Berman and Kruk are godawful, plenty of errors, the stadium music was annoying. The whole production sucked and seemed last minute. Kruk and Berman rambling about random shit during at-bats and missing calls or just talking over them was terrible.

[bloodbrother]

The only highlights of this derby have been ESPN's hilarious production of it, Berman's dumb commentary, and this

 

[disarcina]

who votes to go back to the old format ??

 

The Ayes have it......

[disarcina]

watching these guys makes me real pleased that Trout is not in the mix.....

 

looks like this stuff really messes with a hitter's swing and timing.....
