Home Run Derby Thread

Good to have an O's participant for a change.  Last was Mancini I believe.  I would like to see Adley win at least on round.  I believe that Adley is a much better power hitter than he shows or he gets credit for.  He takes way too many half swings, imo.  Hopefully tonight we'll see the true power bat of Adley.

Apparently Kevin Brown calling the StatCast telecast on ESPN2. At least so far in the pregame.

Heard some O's during the National Anthem.

All my faves on the Statcast broadcast!  Kevin Brown, Mike Petriello, Jessica Mendoza (one of those saviors during Covid who brought us Korean baseball, forever grateful).

Hit one 461 so I think he has the power.

I dislike the honerun derby, but I’m recording it in case I feel like watching the Adley part later.  I’ll find out the results and then decide if it’s worth my time.

I bet Arozarena could have doubled his total if he asked and Orioles pitcher to throw to him.

Did they change the rules again this year where now they don't have to wait for the ball to land?  The pitcher throw another pitch while the previous one is still in the air?

Atta boy Adley!! Show em all!!!

Impressive showing for Adley

Adley!!!  What a show.  Also by the way I think they keep showing his sister.  She is an All-Star as well.

That switch-hit power is unbelievable.
