"You cannot find one empty seat."

Demonstrably untrue.

Butt first, let's

ESPN continues to have no idea how to cover the guy hitting and the ball landing at the same time.

Arozarena (and his pitcher) showing the benefits of the "just get shots up" strategy. Hate a slow rear end HRD pitcher!!

I honestly miss the old format where they�d take their time and admire their shots. I�m sure there will be a fun matchup or crazy performance that justifies this format but I dunno. It feels less like we�re watching homeruns now than that we�re just watching the counter.

Ball placement is better than expected but it's killing me how much time he's taking. Grabbing one ball at a time. Fuckin, turning around to watch where the ball goes?? Get your head in the game my man
