Keep the format for next year, ditch the gently caress out of "balls gotta land" rule

I think you have to have something to pace the pitching. I mean, hell, you have kids and fans out there. You don't want someone to get bonked on the head because they're watching the last one land, or one of the outfielders taking a line drive to the incisors because they're doing the same.

I'm not sure what they could use as a pace setter, though, other than waiting for the ball to land. It rewards line drive hitters and punishes fly ball hitters, but what can you do?

I think this contest is starting to bore Pederson. He's not putting any visible effort into this performance and he's murdering it.

When Joc Pederson was a child, a wild pack of baseballs murdered his beloved dog. That day, he swore an oath of vengeance.

That is the only reason I can fathom that someone could hate baseballs as much as this man does.

He doesn't just murder the ball. He sneaks into its house and murders its family.

OK... my son was bouncing off the walls, and my wife, who loves me so much she politely tolerates all of this baseball stuff and even does a good impression of a baseball fan, was excited as hell.

I had my doubts. I thought it was crazy and dumb. And I was totally wrong.

One thing I think would be hilarious would be an all-pitcher bunt derby. Get some rookies or AAA players for designated runners on 1st, and watch the antidingers!

Nick Lachey is still a thing?

He said something about how we're going to see "entertainers" do things.

What will we see Nick Lachey do, then?
