Home Run derby game thread

[Skip]

Haha love this

 

[glennhoffmania]

Pujols looks fucking huge.  He wasn't always this big.

 

[sime]

"At the buzzer" - somehow it works

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pujols looks fucking huge.  He wasn't always this big.

Barry Bonds lives in LA. Just sayin'.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Meh. Use pitching machines. Tewksbury didn't do it for Donaldson.
 
Tewksbary.

 

[BornToRun]

Let's go, Todd.

 

[canderson]

I liked the minute stretch where they never showed Frazier swinging. Good job.

 

[soxhop411]

!!!!!!!!

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

Awesome

 

[sime]

Yes.

 

[MuzzyField]

Wow! I think the changes are working.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

I don't remember Pederson being projected to be a power hitter.

 

[soxhop411]

“@jonweisman: I’d say odds are 50-50 that someone’s going to write a column for tomorrow saying that baseball should have a game clock instead of innings.”

 

[ifmanis5]

6 bombs in 7 swings.

 

[Lowrielicious]

Pederson reminds me a lot of Steven Smith - one of the best cricket batsmen in the world.
 

 

[Al Zarilla]

Imagine Pederson hitting balls out of Fenway from foul line to foul line. 

 

[BornToRun]

Pujols taking way too much time.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

Pujols going to break a hammate tonight.

 

[BornToRun]

This is gonna be intense.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

It's not pine tar guys. He hurt his hand.

 

[Ale Xander]

Too long per pitch/hit for al

 

[BornToRun]

Kick his ass, Frazier.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

He was swinging that way the first round too. Don't know why they didn't notice it then, but I definitely noticed because it was weird to see bottom hand fly off so much.

 

[Ale Xander]

Pedersons brother tapping al in the gut is classic

 

[canderson]

Imagine Pederson hitting balls out of Fenway from foul line to foul line.

But we have Panda. Beggars can't be choosers!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Kick his ass, Frazier.

Down goes Frazier! Have to root for the Palo Alto High kid.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

Imagine Pederson hitting balls out of Fenway from foul line to foul line. 

BC should have tried harder.

 

[Bergs]

Pujols is a class act, man.

 

[BornToRun]

Chris Berman is so bad at his job.

 

[Skip]

Pederson gotta tire out here

 

[Skip]

Obviously not haha

 

[Lowrielicious]

he might have 20 by the time he does though.

 

[derekson]

Pederson gotta tire out here

 
Yeah Frazier has had a lot of rest time and Pederson's had almost none.

 

[BornToRun]

Frazier's fucked.

 

[soxhop411]

Holy crap!

 

[soxhop411]

 

[Skip]

Kid nearly robbed a homer

 

[Ale Xander]

Anyone have Larry king in the death pool?

 

[BornToRun]

Camera angles are awful tonight.

 

[Skip]

This is actually so great.

 

[derekson]

Camera angles are awful tonight.

 
The 8th string producer/director that ESPN sent along isn't good enough to keep up with the quick turnaround from ball flight to pitch in the timed format.

 

[canderson]

Berman just stroked out on a pop up.

 

[Ale Xander]

Downtown goes Frazier

 

[BornToRun]

Holy fucking shitballs!

 

[canderson]

It's a walkoff!

 

[BornToRun]

WOOOOOO!!!!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This new format is a keeper.  And the outcome couldn't have worked out better for MLB.

 

[MuzzyField]

This was like a video game, except it was real!

 

[Skip]

Greatest home run derby ever

 

[shawnrbu]

Frazier gets a belt!
