7/11 Home Run Derby - 7:00 pm CT, ESPN

[Liam Neeson]

 

Addy shows up with a new kid. The prince that was promised.

 

 

Stanton isn't human.

[Sammys Boombox]

Wish it was possible for Trump and Stanton to both make it past this round.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So there's no pictures of Stanton as a kid, right? He's like v0.1 of the Terminator species.

trumbo has good taste in music

Zobrist's... creepy weirdos that don't want to get too close the Fowler's and Rizzo's?

[OleMissCub]

Man the Zobes look creepy

Jay Bruce is on the all-star team, huh

 

well I guess he's 4th in the NL in fWAR

 

oh sorry not the NL, the Reds

 

oh sorry, I mean Reds outfielders

[Thurman Merman]

They need to shorten these rounds to 3:00 minutes, keep the 2x 440 HR bonuses, then add another 30 sec bonus for 2 over 460. Reward the big dongers.

Is there a way I can get a notification every time TT posts anything?

omg, the Reds as a team sorted by WAR is the saddest thing ever

[UMFan83]

Ok I don't care if he hits .150 with 250 ks I want him to be on our team

[raw]

Ha, I just did that too. If Billy Hamilton wasn't so damn fast, it would look even uglier.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Proud day for the Stanton family, Giancarlo's dad must be very proud

Time for the true highlight of the ASB, the celebrity softball game.

[Omar]

Drew Brees has a better swing than Jason Heyward

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The celebrity softball game is one of the few things I religiously watch even though I know it's bad just because of the nostalgia. If the announcers are going to scream their way through it, I might have to reconsider.

Man did Stanton deliver tonight. I don't think they showed after the final but going into the last round he had something like the longest 8 HRs and 17 of the longest 18.

No McGwire seems odd. I'd probably get Reggie Jackson in there somewhere, because I love big lefties that get that majestic height on fly balls.

 

Reggie

McGwire

Sosa

Bonds

Mantle

Gibson

Griffey

Killebrew

[Sammys Boombox]

I had McGwire and replaced him with Bo.

[JonJayCutler]

If I had to pick one current or former Cub to meet in a social setting, I'd seriously consider Dan Haren. Dude's horsefeathering gold.

[David]

apparently, if they had been playing under the old rules last night, stanton would've only used 6 of his outs in each round

[ConstableRabbit]

All time:

Ruth

Bonds

Mantle

Killebrew

Sammy

Stanton

Bo

Josh Gibson

If Gibson is eligible, I say swap Bo for Oh. I want to include McGwire and 90s Junior but I don't know who to swap out.
