Home Run Derby/All Star Game thread

3 homers in the first half for Beni.

On pace for ~26 doubles, so the power is definitely reduced. He changed his approach apparently, abandoned the launch angle philosophy in the off season.

This international ESPN feed I'm watching praised his new approach pretty highly. Said he "returned to his roots."

versus Witt's 13, who's also top 10 in MLB with 17 SB

I've seen this at-bat by JD before

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I doubt this game did much to bring in new fans like a ASB should.

 

[canderson]

It wasn’t very entertaining but at least the good guys won.

 

[teddywingman]

Clase is filthy.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Well that was an impressive finish. Although I would have much preferred Schwarber tying it up to force a home run derby.

 

[bosox188]

Clase's cutter is terrifying

 

[Van Everyman]

Clase is filthy.

Yep. I love Schwarber but he had no chance.

 

[budcrew08]

I don’t think Clase threw anything less than 98

 

[teddywingman]

Yep. I love Schwarber but he had no chance.

That was the first time I've seen him.

All I can say is WOW.

Stanton wins MVP

Holy shit Stanton makes Garvey look like a midget.

I know. That's blowing my mind right now

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Stantonian.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Garvey was listed as 5’10” in his playing days but I always thought he looked shorter than that.

 

[budcrew08]

They just started the post-game and they introduced Frank Thomas as a HOFer, and Papi as a HOFer, and then a really awkward transition to ARod. Made me LOL.

Nice player tributes to the Large Father

 

[teddywingman]

This Toronto broadcast is hilarious.

Also I have decided that Manoah isn't a douche.

Clase with 3 Ks on 10 pitches, he was not fucking around.

These uniforms are pure garbage!
Why couldn't they just wear their normal uniforms?

Seems like it’s love them or hate them. Local radio guys here were raving about them. I don’t really care either way. I’m not in the target demo for these kind of things anyway.

MLBShop.com needs fresh, new products to sell.

This is the one true answer

Clase = class closer.

He will make an excellent Yankee someday.
