Home Run Derby Game Thread

[LeoCarrillo]

Beyond the right field wall, that's the IDS Building, the big glass one. Tallest skyscraper in the Midwest after the uh, Sears, in, uh, Chicago, or John Hancock Building, whatever. You ever been to Minneapolis?

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

Oh I use a knife.

 

[CoRP]

How does Puig show up to this thing without a designated pitcher?

 

[mabrowndog]

Did Berman just identify Stanton's pitcher/Marlins manager as "Dick Redmond"? The ex-Bruin?

 

[Leather]

Oh Christ. More hackneyed Minnesota shit.

 

[Fratboy]

How does Puig show up to this thing without a designated pitcher?

 
He disrespects not only the game, but also the Derby.

 

[Don Bradman]

Beckett's golfing this evening

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

Jesus Christ, Stanton's power is insane. 

 

[Seabass]

I would trade five Mookies for him. 

 

[Al Zarilla]

Any chance we can trade for Stanton? Pull a few prospects together?

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Okay, fuck it.  Trade Xander.  Trade Mookie.  Hell, throw in Owens, Swihart and John Henry's yatch.  Get this man in a Red Sox uniform.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

I. Want. Stanton.

 

[mabrowndog]

Jesus Christ, Stanton's power is insane. 

 
Seriously. A low line drive to straightaway center that never gets more than 50 feet above the ground? Jesus.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

Holy fuck

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Holy shit.

 

[Don Bradman]

Okay, fuck it.  Trade Xander.  Trade Mookie.  Hell, throw in Owens, Swihart and John Henry's yatch.  Get this man in a Red Sox uniform.

 
I think the yatch is untouchable

 

[BornToRun]

Okay, fuck it.  Trade Xander.  Trade Mookie.  Hell, throw in Owens, Swihart and John Henry's yatch.  Get this man in a Red Sox uniform.

Was just thinking this. Screw homegrown talent, I want to see this beast taking aim at the monster for 81 games a year.

 

[Corsi]

holy shitballs 

 

[mabrowndog]

He came within 5 rows of leaving the park. Wow.

 

[staz]

Crushed.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Looked like he didn't even get all of it.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Mother of god.

 

[Seabass]

I love watching the MLBers shit their pants on the sidelines.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Wowzas

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Okay, fuck it.  Trade Xander.  Trade Mookie.  Hell, throw in Owens, Swihart and John Henry's yatch.  Get this man in a Red Sox uniform.

 
Is this a Pizzuti reference? 

 

[Leather]

"Back to DrLeather's ball sack!"

 

[patinorange]

Light tower. Fenway. Turnpike. The visions are awesome.

 

[Catcher Block]

That last one...holy Jobu.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

I love watching the MLBers shit their pants on the sidelines.

McCutchen's reaction made my night.

 

[mabrowndog]

FOX would have given us a graphic contrail on the replay. ESPN blows in ways I haven't even imagined yet.

 

[mauidano]

Bat.Speed.

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Tough act to follow.

 

[Fratboy]

Oh Christ. More hackneyed Minnesota shit.

 
Do you talk like they do in "Fargo"?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

They should from now on give the HRD winner and ASG MVP one of those choppers.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

 
Is this a Pizzuti reference? 

 
What's funny is that I started off with "Henry's wife" and then thought better of it.  So no, but your head isn't far from where mine started.

 

[Leather]

 
Do you talk like they do in "Fargo"?

OOHHH YAAHHH. YOUUU BETCHA.

 

[staz]

Koji with the grab

 

[LeoCarrillo]

If we re-polled this thread, I'm guessing there isn't anyone in here who wouldn't include Xander in a package for Giancarlo.

 

[Corsi]

sunglasses at night,  ok kid

 

[Fratboy]

OOHHH YAAHHH. YOUUU BETCHA.
 
I knew it.

 

[BornToRun]

Forgive my ignorance but is the 7 outs thing because of the delay or was it that way from the beginning?

 

[Fratboy]

OOHHH YAAHHH. YOUUU BETCHA.
 
I knew it.

 
Because when I traveled to North Dakota and and worked with some people there a few years ago, I seriously had to stifle back some giggles.
 
And then I recoiled in fear that they were all Republicans.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

New rules. 

 

[Leather]

Sun hasn't set yet.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

They actually planned it this way.

 

[Al Zarilla]

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. 

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

And I just realized I misspelled yacht.  Nice.

The accent is more pronounced the farther from the TC you get. It's more if a rural thing. Aside from a few small things that are common, like "ruff" for "roof".

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

This Chevy commercial is worse than Berman. 

 

[BornToRun]

They actually planned it this way.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.
