He can be a do over for Adrian Gonzalez.

 

[staz]

Donaldson's been in a month and a half funk. If I were an A's fan, I'd worry about him regressing more. Or, maybe he snaps out of it now. 

HR/F 22% through 6/2.

8% since

Christ Morneau, get one.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Did that hit the flag?!

 

[Leather]

Needs three, huh?

 

[Lowrielicious]

thats....impressive.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Nice job showing the facade while Morneau connected with this second home run.  Fucking toolbags.

 

[mabrowndog]

ESPN's producers with the biggest whiff of the night, showing the retired numbers as Morneau crushes one.
 
Thanks, assholes.

Is Kilgore directing the camera work?

 

[Darnell's Son]

That Stanton kid is gonna be good.

No, if it were him he'd be focusing in girls with pancake titties.

 

[staz]

Cespedes is a specimedes

 

[LeoCarrillo]

They're using children to product-place Gatorade and run it up to the hitters.

 

[Darnell's Son]

In? That's my kinda movie!

 

[Leather]

Berman totally know that a ball hitting the foul pole is fair.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Hey, Berman knew off the foul pole is a HR!

 

[Leather]

/didn't.

 

[Leather]

Mispronouncing Gallego

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cespedes has been in a slump too. Melvin is probably biting his nails up to his elbows. 

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

That was the deal if those kids at the Texas border wanted to come in.

 

[staz]

Gallego has turned into Steve Sax

 

[moondog80]

Two swing offs. This thing is going until midnight.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

So we had, what... 7 hitters with 3 or less in the first round?  Yeah, that 7 out change worked out great.

 

[Leather]

I don't like this guy. He reminds me of Bradley coopers dickhead buddy in "wedding crashers"

 

[mabrowndog]

How the fuck can anyone compete in a Home Run Derby while Aha's Take On Me is blaring from the PA speakers?

 

[Leather]

Wait.

 

[Leather]

Yea nyuck it up

 

[mabrowndog]

Frazier advancing is... anti-climactic.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Can we just skip the rest of this thing and watch Stanton take BP for a half hour?

 

[staz]

Puig is still talking.

 

[scottyno]

so if this was an attempt to make the event go much faster it failed miserably

 

[staz]

Better camera work in 1960

 

[Al Zarilla]

Used to always get to games early to catch batting practice, but got away from it. Stanton would bring me back. 

 

[RedOctober3829]

Berman sounds like he's constipated

 

[RedOctober3829]

I watched him take BP on Saturday.  I yelled out to him how much he'd like the Green Monster and he turned around as he was going to the dugout and smiled.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

That's not uncommon for a man his age.

 

[Jaylach]

 
That's not uncommon for a man his age.

Or mine.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Or mine.

 
His can't be fixed by taking off his clothes, though.

 

[mabrowndog]

Kruk starts creaming his shorts over one of Frazier's HRs, calling it the most impressive one he's seen tonight...
 
... and then realizes what an idiot he is and corrects himself with Stanton's blast.
 
Holy shit, he's such a moronic fucktard.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Kruk pointing out that Tulo is a shortstop as if we haven't just come off of a run of huge power hitting shortstops and this is some new phenomenon.

Some day, they will just have park audio for these things

I don't know about other teams, but the Red Sox make this impossible for most. By the time the gates open they are mostly done and the road team has the field. Never understood why that's a good move from a marketing perspective. When I was a kid, my dad wouldn't even bother taking us to the game if we couldn't get there in time for BP and, more importantly, infield practice, which is now an artifact of a bygone age.

Chris Berman naked? F'in gross, man. Over the line.

I have no integrity.  Integrity means filter, right?  I'm using it to mean filter here.

I thought your lack of integrity made you a lying asshole? I'm confused.

Someone is getting fired

That's lying not mediocre asshole to you, bub.
