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.

Johnny Bravo posted:Pete Alonso, leading the major leagues in home runs 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

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.

Alright Chapman all you gotta do to advance to the second round is beat the guy who just broke the single round record. Easy peasy.

Doubtful Chapman wins this even with a good BP pitcher but he probably would have at least made it decently close, he's taken almost every hittable pitch yard.

Vlad probably pissed he wasted so much energy this early breaking the record when all he had to do was get 14 over and then pick his nose.

"Hey pitch me in" *next pitch is in the opposite batters box* lol why would you pick a BP pitcher who can't loving throw BP for this event?

Paul Zuvella posted:Did they do this format last year? this kind of blows. You have no time to watch all the goddamn dongers Kind of, they dropped the requirement that the ball has to land before the next pitch is thrown, which is presumably the reason behind the split screen.

Give Acuna a good BP pitcher and he probably also breaks the single round record.

It's super cool how half the time they don't even cut to the loving HR and I only know a ball went out because the counter goes up. Like holy poo poo how could you gently caress this up more.

Alonso failing to get 13 dingers because he picked his cousin to throw BP and he can't put one over the plate feels pretty Mets

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.
