I know this much, Pete Alonso will hit more home runs than Mike Piazza hit in his entire derby career.

The first year they swapped to this format, wasn't the rule actually that you had to wait for the ball to land before pitching the next one? I remember them being a bit "flexible" with that but I guess they got rid of that ages ago.

We all let bryce harper break that rule so he could show us his stars and stripes socks, last year.

They're pitching before the HR lands and its impossible to follow both.

You’d think with the million dollar prize on the line these guys would get past the sentimental dad/bro/cousin pitching badly to them and pick someone good at throwing BP

This just feels like a bad HR derby stadium. There's nothing fun to aim for and Alonso is the first guy nailing that open CF alley.

Honestly I should've looked up who's bringing their faildad to pitch when making picks for the bracket challenge, that seems to be the most important info here.

Probably, I'm just jaded because I watch zero actual TV besides baseball, and most MLB.tv broadcasts are either the same six commercials repeated forever, a "commercial break in progress" screen, or a plate of outback being passed back and forth.
