Home Run Derby

Giancarlo FTW

Are you gonna have trouble picking a jersey to wear while watching this? Or do you just switch when the next guy comes to the plate? 

[Blarg]

Mike Trout isn't in the home run derby. 

 

[Tank]

Looking forward to seeing Stanton and Trumbo.

[ettin]

Mike Trout doesn't even have to be in the Home Run Derby to win it. It is foretold.

A better poll would have been:

Which Player's Production Will Drop The Most After Being In The HR Derby?

Why would that be a better poll?

Luckily, he only has to switch between the AL and NL jerseys for the HRD.

I hope Trout never, eeever takes part in it.

Cano or Frazier

[ten ocho recon scout]

Im going with cargo. Only because we could then fight about how we almost traded for him, based on a weak rumor last year.

[Troll Daddy]

Trumbo and Giancarlo are the two hottest HR bats coming into the contest tonight ... so they probably won't win.

[Homebrewer]

Surprised nobody has mentioned this is SD, and the marine layer along with the ballpark itself might lead to a short and boring event, and lowest totals in recent HRD history.

Things I'd rather do than hear Chris Berman shout "Back, back, back":

Watching paint dry, watching grass grow, watching Caddieshack 2, watching a Skanks 9 inning game that takes 4 hours due to incessant mound visits

 

[Slegnaac]

....watching the new Ghostbusters movie. ...

Dave Kingman!!!

Oh God...you're right.

I usually have to turn it on (it's the only baseball on this day every year) before I remember about that.

Maybe there's an ESPN radio feed without him?

 he's retiring at the end of the year. what are the odds espn invites him back to do the HD Derby in 2017? 

[Angel Oracle]

I hope they are one in a billion.

[jsnpritchett]

Does anyone here actually watch the HR derby?  I used to years ago, but find the whole thing pretty dreadful right now.  Even worse is that they do a radio broadcast for it now, too! 

[Troll Daddy]

Some are predicting Duvall ... he got big power I've heard . 

[gotbeer]

The Home Run Derby jerseys are pretty sweet.  They went old school with the brown and mustard yellows.

[Jason]

I have a feeling we'll get to hear the most annoying HR call ever. Back, back, back, back, back, back, gone!!! I really dislike Berman. Thankfully there is a mute button.
