Derby Discussion

[jedi ninja]

Would have been so great if that was the final round. Imagine that with the million on the line.

 

[jedi ninja]

And Vlad is only making 550k this season.

Took some Acuna -150 over Polar Bear here

My 7 year old, who is just playing tee ball this year has just become a huge baseball fan after this HR derby. Thank you MLB, and Vladdy and Joc!!!

I just got back from dinner in time for that. It was pretty cool.

Miller's ftw!

The 7 year old just said “Vlad is my boy Dad.”

He was just here in Buffalo too, good thing we’re only a 90 minute drive from Toronto...

Let them swing away. More impressive if they can sustain it and more fun to watch.

I'm shocked one of these kids hasnt missed a line drive and took one in the face

Looks so dangerous

 

[jedi ninja]

you should get a bonus for 440 feet or longer IMO. if you really go for it you should be rewarded.

They are rewarded. 30 extra seconds for 2 of them over 440 ft.

I was talking about the swing off

I’m pretty sure that’s the reason for the rule on waiting until the ball lands to throw another’s pitch. Or part of the reason at least.

 

[Ryno14]

Gotta imagine Alonso can beat 19

Ahhh, gotcha.

[P-Unit]

Some pretty nice catches have been made by those kids tonight as well. Has to be the coolest experience for those kids.

 

[P-Unit]

with authority!!!!!!!!!!

Dirty

Pretty great for MLB with all of these young dudes out here and 2 rookies in the final. The future is bright for baseball.

 

[P-Unit]

Ya, young guys reppin' well. Busting their ass to win, which is a lot more than you can say about how the Derby/ASG has been treated in the past.

 

[jedi ninja]

A little off topic, but Bud Selig was on Tiki and Tierney’s show today for a good half hour talking about the steroid era. Lying through his motherfucking teeth saying they didn’t know anything and were in the dark. GTFO with that bullshit Bud...you not only knew, you encouraged it and reaped all of the rewards.

Well fuck, for both Vlad and Alonso, they can essentially make twice as much as they’ll make all year by winning it tonight.

 

[Ryno14]

Wow -280 in the final

 

[guaranteeed]

I took vlad pre

But head says alonso here, hes taken like half the swings

 

[P-Unit]

Vlad packing the beef. Certainly helps to have that kind of weight behind him.

 

[austinhous]

Vlad is special right now, like a black stripper with blue eyes.

 

[jedi ninja]

If he wasn’t known by the “the masses” before tonight, Vlad Jr. certainly will be now. Win or lose, he just made himself a superstar tonight.

 

[guaranteeed]

Grats alonso batters

Hate the format tho

Vlad hit 91 homers

 

[Inspekdah]

Pete Alonso +365 for me

Easy $$

Format is awful. That's why I liked Pete. He had a bye round 1 essentially.
