Joc Pederson having his 'President Whitmore with the megaphone" moment.

[Coach]

LMAO

Pederson and Vladdy tied at 29.

[Coach]

That being said, the rule of "The next pitch cannot be thrown until one lands", that one is not being enforced as much as it's intended to be.

[BigRedChief]

We see Homer’s hit every night by everyone. You can watch batting practice. You either walk, strikeout or hit a home run 90% of AB’s these days.

Use to have the best power hitters square off in this thing. Now it’s either the hometown hitter, the young Turk or someone wanting to improve their personal brand.

Huh. O's all star John Means is from the KC area. I didn't know that, but there's a lot of stuff I don't know about this dude.

https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bs-sp-orioles-john-means-all-star-profile-20190706-story.html

First impressions aren’t among Means’ strengths. Standing 5-foot-4 as an Olathe East High School freshman, he spent that season on the “D” team, two levels below junior varsity.

“If he wasn't the last kid picked, he was probably the second last,” said his father, Alan.

His fall coach, Jerald Van Rheen, asked during Means’ junior year whether he expected to make varsity. When Means flatly said no, Van Rheen offered an alternative: play for him at Gardner-Edgerton as the starting first baseman, No. 3 hitter and second starter behind Bubba Starling, eventually the fifth overall pick in the 2011 draft.

I really feel terrible about it, but I am having a hard time caring about this.

Did anybody get a final count on how many times Joe Buck said, "What a story"?

[siberian khatru]

Did anybody get a final count on how many times Joe Buck said, "What a story"?

At one point he said, "What this game needs is some Madison Bumgarner."

[Nzoner]

Hate the bracket format for the derby,Vlad Jr's 90+ was epic and should've won the contest.

As for Buck,don't even get me started
