This will make sure you don't suggest to the KDz
That he should grow greens instead of crushing on MCs

Give me Vlad Jr. and Josh Bell in the finals or give me death.

Also willing to accept Ronald but that's it.

Good because Acuña is going to win.

Its finally a cool year for the HRD. No hatable players like Cubs or that fuckshit Harper

Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
I want Bregman to win, but deep down I know that he’s only going to beat Pederson. My guess is Bell or Acuña takes it.

Vlad is going to crush the competition because you don't have to deal with real pitching in the hrd

I had Yelich before he dropped out and switched to Alonso; the challenge thing at mlb.com said you could submit a new entry when that happened.

I neeever watch the derby (just not my cup of tea) but I'm making an exception this year to root for Bell.

I like Acuña and Alonso a whole bunch too though so should b fun regardless. Chapman's prob my favorite AL player but for some reason him in the Derby doesn't excite me at all lol

There's no one on that list that I don't want to win. (Honestly thought it would have been Yelich's to lose, but welp)

I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?

Vlad Jr wont be facing live major league pitching of any sort so he might actually have a chance

If this were a "sharply hit ground ball to the third baseman" contest then Vlad Jr. would dominate, but as it stands he's a first round exit.

Vlad Jr. is gonna make everyone look silly tonight and you all will rue the day you had no faith in his power

Except Josh Bell. He's gonna mash too, maybe even more than Vlad

picking Chapman as a sub is so surprising to me and I say that as the world's #1 Matt Chapman fan

like he has pop obviously but it's of the "a few rows deep in right center" variety. i'm rooting for him but I can't really imagine him killing a home run derby

Not sure there is, but he's the 5 seed so I think him and Bregman would be the last set to go in the first round. I think?
