Should have been Khris Davis

i'm glad it isn't him because he's been banged up all year and could really use some time off

i'm surprised they didn't go with Matt Olson since he'd be at a 53 HR pace without his injury but I guess he says he doesn't actually have great HR show batting practices

Just remembering when Cano was in the Derby for the Yankees and got boo'd endlessly and hit like 3 home runs.

Last time Joc was in the HRD he completely hosed up his swing and sucked poo poo for the rest of the year, so root for him to go deep or not appropriately.

My favorite stat was that Bregmen has hit a HR in one of every 13 AB's, and somehow that's only the 5th best pace in the majors.

But the ball isn't juiced lol suck my nuts manfred

The ad ESPN had for bowling set to "Baby if You Give it to Me" five-ish years ago over footage of sweaty fat guys getting strikes was genius.

My favorite part of the HRD is that they drag out the start of it for loving ever so we can get music, 30 second substanceless player interviews, and pyrotechnics that turn the stadium into a smoky mess.
