Home Run Derby

[BoSox34]

Who ya got?

 

Im going with Papi, weak competition this year IMO, most of these hitters aren't really HRD type hitters.

[MANNYHOF24]

I got Miggy, then Papi goes number 2

[Youk Of The Nation]

Itll be the guy no one expects, like last season. I say Glaus.

 

 

Wright I would go with, except he has Lo Duca pitching to him.

[Moose]

I'll go with Howard beating Ortiz.

What are you talking about? They're not HRD type hitters? They all can hit homeruns. I also don't understand how you say weak competition this year, but whatever. To each his own.

 

Howard wins.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Ryan Howard will put on a show.

[Papelbon58]

the favorites never win these things. Who would have guessed Bobby Abreu?

Really, I would pick Ortiz, but he is tired from the 19 inning game, but Dye is really hot so...

 

Dye over Wright

Dye played the 19 inning game too...in the field as well.

 

Ryan Howard will win.

[Cocos Disciples]

Glaus. All this guy can really do is hit for power.

[Papelbon58]

Dye played the 19 inning game too...in the field as well.

 

Ryan Howard will win.

i realize he played 19 innings, but i just think Dye is on fire right now

You just used weird logic. Contradictory logic, even.

[Papelbon58]

i guess it is sort of contradictory, but whatever, it is the home run derby

[MC Hammer]

I'm going with Papi. It'll be interesting to see how many balls actually get to the water on the fly. It's a long way.

[Beckett95]

im going out on a limb and picking Cabrera

[Papelbon58]

im not picking him, but no votes for a repeat by Miguel Tejada?

[BoSox34]

Harold Reynolds picked Ortiz, Berman picked Dye.

[RedSoxRooter]

Man, I hope they use that super slow motion shot on Ortiz.

[RedSoxRooter]

Why don't they let them all just wear their home uniforms instead of those s***** looking American/National ones?

[RedSoxRooter]

Hey, where'd everybody go? :dunno:

[RoyNHSox]

Cool link for tracking distances

[BoSox34]

WOW, David Wright came to hit.

That's pretty cool.

[Cocos Disciples]

Glaus, my pick, eliminated. Wright and Cabrera, the 2 kids, will likely move on. Tejada and Berkman are likely done with the 3 favorites coming up.

[RoyNHSox]

Papi’s 1st 5 HR’s all outside of the park, 4 in the water on bounces.

 

Edit: Updated

 

Edit again: 10 HR’s in the first round and all but 2 (I think) in the water. f***ing amazing.

[Moose]

That last splash hit was a REAL splash hit. No bounce.

[Rdsxmbnt]

tiz with 10, good place to be

[RedSoxRooter]

Papi's gonna win this. He'll pull out his 17 in the second round.

[RoyNHSox]

I like how Papi is wearing his cap on backwards tonight, even while batting.

[Cocos Disciples]

Wright, Papi, Cabrera, Howard is the order.

[RedSoxRooter]

I'm amazed it took them this long to have the HRs carry over to the second round. It seems like a no-brainer and makes it much more interesting.
