Minnesota had to close down for the night

 
Is drleather on lockdown?

 

[rymflaherty]

Bautista with a big fuck you to the charities.

Isn't the last out basically a charity "moneyball"?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Let's just say "silent clock"

 

[Investor 11]

Did Bautista leave an out on the table or is there a 10 HR limit?

I believe they missed showing his final out. It happened earlier for him as well.Hhis pitcher was moving quicker than ESPN was able to keep up wit and Berman and the crew don't know what footage we are seeing.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

No Berman, Puig did not 'literally' erupt. 

 

[Leather]

 
"Paul Revere is warning Boston about that shot"

"Boston Common is going to need a new roof!"

ESPN was too busy showing some bros celebrating to be bothered to show his final out.

ESPN is so fucked. No one is even paying attention to what's going on at the plate.

 

[E5 Yaz]

That might be interesting, though

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Puig getting Cano'd.

 

[CoRP]

over

 

[mauidano]

Puig. Gone. Awkward.

 

[sachmoney]

Yikes

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That'll do, Puig.

 

[patinorange]

Good job. Good haircut.

 

[mabrowndog]

Awesome. Puig with the goose egg.
 
Way to follow up on your 78-minute interview with Pedro Gomez.

 

[Fratboy]

He could have at least flipped a fucking bat.

 

[canderson]

Mattingly's going to bench Puig a week for that performance.

 

[staz]

Suck it, Puig

 

[E5 Yaz]

That'll do, Puig.

 
How long have you been saving that one?

 

[Leather]

OMG. Tony Clark.

 

[scottyno]

maybe they could have kept it at 10 outs instead of 7 if they didn't have interviews with random people between contestants

 

[Jungleland]

That was weird.

 

[Fratboy]

Pedro Gomez does not look good in HD.

 

[Van Everyman]

That was the Puig-iest outcome imaginable.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Pedro Gomez does not look good in HD.

 
Better than Pam Oliver?

 

[mauidano]

OMG. Tony Clark.

Did he get old fast?

 

[moondog80]

Fascinating interview.

 

[Dollar]

Did he get old fast?

Yep. Then he joined the Yankees.

 

[CoRP]

Pedro Gomez does not look good in HD.

Pam Oliver looks better.

 

[Leather]

David price what an asshole.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Remember when they used to show a wide shot of the ball traveling through the air?  Now they apparently have a mandate to show the kids scrambling in the outfield so instead of watching the ball fly, we watch the area the production crew think it's going to land.
 
Everything about this event has trended in the wrong direction over the last few years.

 

[Al Zarilla]

David price what an asshole.

"Taken him deep" double meaning?

 

[mabrowndog]

"Adam was a youngster he touched in a different way..."
 
:blink:

 

[moondog80]

Kruky?

 

[canderson]

"Adam was touched in another way ... "

Wow.

I thought the camera work had gotten progressively better until this year, when it went off the cliff.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

Triple deck HR registered at 370' - must be sabermatics measurements. 

 

[scottyno]

berman calls 4 hrs in 6 outs a heck of a show as a throw in to show he's not even paying attention to his job

The old black and white 1950s home run derby show had better production values. ESPN
sucks at everything baseball.

 

[mabrowndog]

For all the shit we give NESN around here, tonight's coverage reminds me just how good we have it in terms of camerawork, production, ebb & flow, etc.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

They've been doing the "watch the kids scramble" thing for a few years now.

They are performing a cubic transformation on the numbers.

 

[mauidano]

C'mon show the high school kids. They can't be worse than Puig.

 

[Leather]

Do people have dildos coming out of their face? Why do we need a flex ball razor?

 

[mauidano]

ANOTHER Expendables movie? Why is this necessary?

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Do people have dildos coming out of their face? Why do we need a flex ball razor?

 
Because if you aren't shaving our entire face in one long sweeping stroke, you are doing it wrong.

 

[Al Zarilla]

True. I have no idea how some kid hasn't gotten one on the head. 

 

[staz]

Pedro needs to get that shit burned off.

 

[CoRP]

awful

 

[Fratboy]

Our jaws can't be as chiseled as yours, chief.
