Pete Alonso never recovered from doing deadlifts on camera in between rounds of the Derby.

He went full Derby. You never go full Derby.

So Adley's performance was legit the personification of the Orioles in the AL East. 3rd most homers but still doesn't move on because of who he's head-to-head against.

I may or may not have laughed at this.

Now that I think about it more, having your team rep in the ASG be the reliever getting his one inning in, is the best case scenario

Having a guy that gets 1 AB and maybe 2-3 innings in the field seems better to me

So if success in this thing hinges so much on the consistency of the pitcher, maybe in the future they should have either a machine or the same guy like Peña chucking them to all the contestants. Or not, because the whole thing is silly and who cares.

They could go back to only counting swings for outs

These guys get to pick their own pitchers, which I like. Let it stay stupid. I do think a combination or returning to "outs" instead of a clock, combined with a pitch clock, would make the event better.

Eduardo Perez literally changes his predictions every 10 seconds and acts like he's right every time. What an utter and complete putz.

JJ Putz takes umbrage with this comment with the game in Seattle

"That one right there will go over" ...(5th grader makes catch in outfield) - Eduardo Perez*

Fuck it. I'll go on the record as saying I'd rather hear an AI bot bleating out a "back back back" than listen to Eduardo Fucking Perez.

The crowd cheering Vlady's outs reminds me of the ruthless booing for Cano in KC
