Re: Official MLB Home Run Derby Thread

After watching Abreu's first few swings I'd wager they're all juiced. MLB was probably worried the HR derby would be lame in this park.

players or the ball?

How about that last one? He practically swung at it 1 handed and it was easily 20+ rows up in right center!!

Re: Official MLB Home Run Derby Thread

I was wondering that as well.

Abreu is a very good power hitter, but he's making it look easy at one of the toughest places to hit HR's.

This is just lame. Balls that he doesn't get great contact on are carrying 10 rows out.

They're clearly juiced because the knew if they didn't juice up the baseballs then one homer would have won the thing.

I have a feeling the HR derby is gonna last 3 hrs the way Abreu is taking his time and spanking the ball.

Does Chris Berman annoy the heck out of anyone else?

I despise him... well as an announcer, at least. He's okay for football, but I wish he'd stay the hell away from baseball.

"Back, back, back...."


Damn, Abreu is goin' off.

Anyone notice the Chevy with a 956ft sign?! Is someone supposed to hit that!? With what, a missle?
