"Crush" Davis in the HR Derby

[ExileAngelos]

I still like whittling down with rounds, but would prefer it to be cumulative. So like, the top 4 continue and keep there round one amount, or something like that.

I'd be OK to have the top two go head to head for a final showdown but they would still go by total number. In other words if Crush had 14 and Harper had 12 then Harper would have to hit 3 more than Crush in the showdown round to win.

Yea, that's sort of what I was getting at. Not really wedded to one model (top 2, top 4 followed by top 2, etc.) but some sort of cumulative format is better IMO. Stupid to see a guy obliterate round one then be back on equal footing later IMO.

I'll be there in the left field bullpen.If I catch one, I hope it from Crush's bat.

They're not going to let you on the field with your glove? No opportunity to barrel over a kid for a pop fly?

In all seriousness, that's awesome. With how often Davis sends them opposite field, I think you may have a good shot.

Catch one. A gold ball.

Yes agreed but the thing needs to be kept much shorter. It's fun to watch for a little while but people do get tired of watching batting practice. An hour is ideal.

Is this only on ESPN, or will it be shown on MLB.TV as well?

Chris Berman was one of the few analysts last year to pick the Ravens to win it all.

I know that has nothing to do with baseball, but anyway, I like him!!

Cano got booed.

Was that Cabrera wearing a Fielder jersey earlier?

[Rene88]

What preparation did you put into this?

Crush: not a lot.

LOL, love it.

[Rene88]

Fielder off to a good start, shocker.

Tough break.

[SpringBarb]

A nice O during the national anthem, though.

Why is Davis the 5th guy to go up? He is leading baseball in homeruns, he should be first.

[Floater]

When does Davis go? Im gonna use my ESPN app when he comes up to bat.
