  • Home Run Derby

    in Colorado ... with no humidor in effect ... this should be good ...

    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

        Ohtani could bunt more HR than Gallo full swing. LOL.

        I could see Ohtani hit too many in the early rounds and get tired. I am also very worried about him in the 2nd half of the season. I can expect a around 10hr due to him getting wore out. He had 7 IP on Tues night and then came back to DH on Wed day game. He and Walsh are the only things keeping this team going. Maybe when Trout returns the Angels can give Ohtani some needed rest.

          I’m sure you are kidding here. Gallo has much more power for a HR derby, his swing is built for it. Sure he isn’t as good in a real game but HR derby power - Gallo easily

                I'm sure Preller will be more than fair--he loves y'all's Rangers

                  nobody taking Olson? I think I would ... when he gets that swing going I can't look away!

                  funny how Alonso is just an after-thought with this group

                    Mancini is the clear underdog so he will probably appear in the final.

                      Me too.

                      Ohtani vs Olson in the finals with Olson winning.

                        Here's home runs #1-30 for Shohei Ohtani this season.

                          That other video isn't the best quality. It's a little bit blurry. This one is better but only has home runs #1-23 plus replays which makes for a longer video. I wish this one had the other homers.

                            I’ll go with Alonso for the repeat.

                              Here is a good article about how some all time greats are on awe of Ohtani: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb...eG?li=BB15ms5q

                              We are witnessing true all-time greatness. I would love to see what his value ends up being this year in a daily league. I think we are witnessing the most underpaid season in baseball history. The power is most amazing to me. He is doing most of this without Trout even in the line up. The dude will need a face transplant to walk the streets of Japan in the offseason or he will get mobbed every day.
