I no longer have ESPN. Anyone know of a stream to watch the derby? I've exhausted free trials, too.

CarolinaBeerGuy · Jul 18, 2022

That was one of the worst anthems I’ve heard in a while. Yikes.

bankshot1 · Jul 18, 2022

That certainly was a grand slam of anthem suckage

Ale Xander · Jul 18, 2022

Uh oh dueling threads

FenwayFrenzy · Jul 18, 2022

That was absolutely horrific. Can't believe they let him sing the national anthem on live national television.

NJ_Sox_Fan · Jul 18, 2022

Would like to see Alonso pull off the 3-peat

I kind of like all 8 guys. No rooting interest and no one to root against

maybe Pujols winning would be fun

the SSB rendition blows

I guess I'm too old to know who that singer was.

I too like all these dudes, but I'm pulling for Alonso or Schwarber.

flymrfreakjar · Jul 18, 2022

Anyone have a way to stream this? Not on MLB.TV or any of my usual streaming sites...

bankshot1 · Jul 18, 2022

My rooting season seems to have devolved into pulling for Kyle from Waltham!

Why do they say "3 minute round" and everyone then gets "30 bonus seconds". Isn't that just a 3:30 round?

Who was it?

DJnVa · Jul 18, 2022

ESPN already with shitty camera work, missing the ball flight on 2 drives.

E5 Yaz · Jul 18, 2022

Why could that guy get hit in the hand by a line drive?

CarolinaBeerGuy · Jul 18, 2022

Useless camera work here.

Props to fans - Dodger Stadium looks full.

It's Hollywood ... the "fans" are CGI

Rookie looks good

Mystic Merlin · Jul 18, 2022

Sry Seager

cromulence · Jul 18, 2022

Wait, why is the pitcher so close? Did they talk about this? It makes it so much easier to put it in the perfect spot.

ernieshore · Jul 18, 2022

Thank goodness this is on both ESPN and ESPN2.

CarolinaBeerGuy · Jul 18, 2022

Still liked it better when there were 10 outs.

Hey, I'll actually be at the game tomorrow. I'll give you a report on if I'm there by myself.

It's never 60'6"

Thank you for this. ESPN2 seems to be a bit better.

Yeah, but this feels different. Maybe I'm nuts, but I don't recall it ever being such a short distance before.

I checked youtube randomly, 2012 was about the same as this.

That swing is picture perfect. Just beautiful.

Mystic Merlin · Jul 18, 2022

Did the ESPN on field reporter just tell Rodriguez to talk to Judge in the camera circle instead of walking away? Let it unfold naturally, folks

Great pic… but FuCK. I will never get over letting Mookie walk.

DJnVa · Jul 18, 2022

These kids in the OF are more likely to get concussed than catch these balls.

BigMike · Jul 18, 2022

Man, Seager scalded the ball. He must have had at least 10 just absolute perfect wicked line drives that did not leave the park

Imagine how you'd feel if he were traded

Seager did a great job, just not enough.

Starting to realize how great Rodriguez' pitcher was. Really fast and put it in the same spot every time, like the BP pitching equivalent of Pop a Shot.

Yeah maybe don’t have dad pitch, Corey. He was slow.

Then again, Seager ran outta gas late, so maybe it wouldn’t have mattered
