Home run derbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[Don Quixote]

The final will be crap. *click*

[Don Quixote]

Wouldn't be fair. Some of those pitches are too far outside or too low. Also need some time between pitches to recharge your ATP.

Sure, but I wonder if ratings for this will ever take a hit because of being so drawn-out. People still watch awards shows, too, though.

A Red Sox-Yankee finale. What a shocker!!!

[allquixotic]

Reynolds could've hit 'em more than some of these guys. The finals are completely typical, Red Sox vs Yankees, but the first round variety was nice.

A Red Sox-Yankee finale. What a shocker!!!

A bunch of ESPN execs' bonus checks just kicked in.

[allquixotic]

If every player could have their baseball dad up there as the pitcher, every player would hit double digits in every round, and then some. :laughlol:

[JTrea81]

If I had to pick one, I'm glad to see Cano win it especially with his dad pitching.

[SammyBirdland]

I watched for a few minutes at the gym and had my fill of Chris Berman for another year or so.

[beaner]

Be as cynical as you want (as if ESPN somehow "fixed" the finals, give me a break), but the moment with Cano and his dad when he tied and won it was pretty darn cool.

[Meh_Orioles]

I'd put money on it that Cano is roided out along with Bautista.

[NewMarketSean]

Didnt watch a second of it. Watched Inception for the second time instead. Who won?

[Phantom]

It should definitely be longer and have dumber rules.

[RavNMadMan]

I didn't tune until until around the time this thread was started, so I'm not bored yet. I planned it that way.

Fielder was ridiculous in the swing-off. Five swings (not outs), five home runs. I know these are BP pitches, but if Fielder was in Camden Yards 81 times a year, I wonder how long the warehouse would remain untouched during regular season play.

Picture the scene: The year is 2012. Prince Fielder dents the warehouse (yeah it's brick but...) 4 times during the season. Several lucky fans find baseballs in their Boog's BBQ. MLB announces it has to buy more baseballs because the Prince is in town. Mr. Angelos has to replace 2 broken warehouse windows...I can dream can't I?

[Dipper9]

Yeah, it was real nice of Prince throwing F bombs around and cursing in front of the kids and knowing there were microphones everywhere. Class act he is. I'm not gonna shed many tears when this guy is playing in Chicago next season.

[Hank Scorpio]

Anything with Berman announcing it sucks. I feel fortunate to have completely forgotten about it.

As an aside... Reynolds would probably set the record for longest home run in a HR derby and most swings & misses in a HR derby.
