Home Run Derby Discussion

[B.A.R.]

Leggo

95 in Denver on Monday.

This should be quite the show(pun intended).

Got a few props lined up I'll share later.

What say you?

 

[KJ]

Well we know who the massive fave for betting will be but I'm surprised he's doing it considering he doesn't take batting practice ever. Great for tv but hope it doesn't jack up his 2nd half.

 

[KJ]

Ohtani to reach finals at +120 seems reasonable

Mancini r1 +145 I like as well, inspiration if nothing else

Assume the ball should be flying, 95 at Coors sounds just about right

Yeah, the reach the finals bet is a good one imo.

Over on longest HR too is jooooocy.

 

[Frank Costanza]

Please tell me Berman has been put out to pasture and is no longer a part of this.

Give me anyone else.

Even Beth.

 

[Big daddy naught]

Soto will put on a show

 

[Inspekdah]

Soto will put on a show

not a fly ball hitter though.... will need to elevate his swing

 

[BringInTheLefty]

Gallo will lose in his first round
Olson a great sleeper +580

From @HUNT

Mythbusting: Angels’ Shohei Ohtani takes plenty of batting practice, but not on the field

Hitting coach Jeremy Reed says Ohtani gets all the work he needs in the indoor cages, so he doesn’t need to take batting practice on the field. Mike Trout and Justin Upton also rarely take BP…

Likey. Got it at 115 but so be it.

 

[Ryno14]

I think I'm liking Ohtani, Alonso, Mancini, and Story to win first round matchups

 

[Noles4life]

lefty.... gallo +400 looks very good

 

[Ryno14]

Lot of Gallo love

 

[ScopeY]

Damn... Olson is my favorite on that side of the bracket

 

[Ryno14]

Apparently Olson and Gallo had their own HR Derby after the game yesterday

 

[ScopeY]

And thoughts on some perceived value with Soto? Don't like that the whole world is rooting for ohtani

 

[Botanical]

Pete the polar bear is gunna be tough built like a brick shithouse...all stars are a lining especially with getting the right pitcher throwing juice balls all night..we might see some moon shots in the rockies...

 

[ProV1Colt]

I am taking the guy that has an “O” in his name to win the Derby.

maybe even the one that has TWO “O’s” in their name.

 

[Noles4life]

Gallo has a 50% flyball rate should carry nice in that coors air and him being a lefty i feel presents some advantages with the stadium

 

[Frank Costanza]

Anyone seen the times / order? ie..,which of the 4 matchups is first, then second, etc. Assuming the two featuring Ohtani and Gallo will be the last two.

 

[Frank Costanza]

Damn, Ohtani to advance to the final now at -135.

 

[Ryno14]

Damn, Ohtani to advance to the final now at -135.

Saw some +140 still on DK.

 

[Ryno14]

Ended up being pretty square for some fun plays tonight.

Ohtani/Gallo to advance to the 2nd round +104
Perez +188 over Alonso
Mancini +168 over Olson
Ohtani to win +210

 

[B.A.R.]

Damn, Ohtani to advance to the final now at -135.

Got steamed big time.

 

[B.A.R.]

One out still has +120 on the reach finals bet

[guaranteeed]

[guaranteeed]

They should be using last years balls tonight too

 

[ProV1Colt]

Someone is hitting it 550.
Be ready

 

[ProV1Colt]

I believe Mantle hit one 528

 

[KJ]

Got Ohtani to finals +120 and Mancini o Olson +145, up to +165 added another

Also added Story o Gallo +190

 

[KJ]

Added Salvy o Alonso +195 .5* too

Definitely going to do some live stuff, more excited just to see it finally

[B.A.R.]
