2017 Home Run Derby

[Ale Xander]

Atta Bour

 

[rembrat]

Justin Bour looks and sounds like a Pro Wrestler.

 

[snowmanny]

439? I want a recount

 

[Ale Xander]

I love his Bunyan-esque swing

 

[rembrat]

Dude has swagger.

 

[Catcher Block]

This guy might be my new favorite player.

 

[canderson]

This is impressive.

 

[Ale Xander]

Bour would have been a great Papi replacement

 

[rembrat]

Stanton sounds like The Rock.

 

[shawnrbu]

22

BEAT THAT JUDGE

 

[staz]

Time for Judge to fail miserably

 

[snowmanny]

Well this should be interesting.

 

[shawnrbu]

Remember when Cano got sad for getting booed during the 2012 home run derby in KC?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bour would have been a great Papi replacement

He needs to play for a bigger market team. In the Northeast US. North of New York.

 

[steveluck7]

This guy. Doesn't look like he's even trying

 

[rembrat]

Judge makes this park look tiny.

 

[canderson]

Judge probably ends at 21. I'll laugh.

 

[steveluck7]

Flicks his wrists and goes oppo upper deck

 

[rembrat]

Judge hits them out even when he's late on the ball.

 

[snowmanny]

Yeah pitch him outside

 

[Catcher Block]

He's going opposite field a lot. Wonder if he starts trying to pull everything after the TO.

 

[strek1]

Doesn't Sanchez need two translators when he talks to Tanaka on the mound?

 

[mauidano]

How deep into Judge's next contract does he spend some dough on veneers?

 

[Ale Xander]

Keep throwing balls

 

[Ale Xander]

Poor Bour

 

[steveluck7]

The lights??

 

[Al Zarilla]

Guy doesn't give a shit which way he hits it

 

[canderson]

Well then.

 

[rembrat]

Judge's oppo shots look like they came off a lefty bat. Good lord.

 

[strek1]

That's just sick power. And he seems to be in really good shape too and isn't tiring like the other guys.

 

[snowmanny]

With a decent pitcher he would have hit 30

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Judge is fun to watch.

 

[mauidano]

Well then.

Can we have the home run derby but with metal bats?

I want to see a Judge HRD with metal bat

FTFY. Can you imagine?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Now imagine the Yankee lineup with Harper hitting behind Judge.

 

[rymflaherty]

I can't get over this split-screen. Why would anyone think it's needed?

Show the normal behind the pitcher view until contact.

Last year was better, but did you see the few years before?
The production was awful. They didn't even show half of the balls in flight. It was quick cuts from behind the hitter, behind pitcher, to the outfield...the only cue to what the hell was going on was the counter and whatever Berman was screaming.
I can't imagine what it would be like now that there's actually a timer in play and the pitches are coming quicker than ever.

After having endured that, the split-screen seems like a God-send.

 

[PseuFighter]

much better on espn2.

 

[hbk72777]

With a decent pitcher he would have hit 30

Yup, that guy was moving in slow motion

 

[staz]

Can he pitch?

 

[staz]

Should have less time in the 2nd round

 

[canderson]

Any chance Sanchez gains a ton of weight and flames out? Asking for a friend.

 

[snowmanny]

brushback

 

[mauidano]

Easy there Jessica.

 

[staz]

Die Yankee scum

 

[snowmanny]

I haven't rooted for a Dodger since 1981 but here we go.

 

[mauidano]

I haven't rooted for a Dodger since 1981 but here we go.

I'm on board with this.

 

[staz]

Bellinger has a sweet swing.


edit: Where's mommy?

 

[Al Zarilla]

This guy's kinda the Splinter of this time. Can't use the word Splendid for him.

 

[staz]

12 aint gonna get it done

 

[mauidano]

This guy's kinda the Splinter of this time. Can't use the word Splendid for him.

Good analogy though.

 

[snowmanny]

I'll guess Judge wins this with 1:12 left on the clock.
