Home Run Derby thread

PrintJOSH HAMILTON (2008)
If ever there was one man who summed up exactly how misleading that list of Derby "winners" can be, Josh Hamilton would be that man.
[+] Enlarge
Rob Tringali/Getty ImagesYou remember Josh Hamilton's performance at last year's Home Run Derby. Do you remember Justin Morneau actually won?
On a magical July evening just one year ago, he turned Yankee Stadium into his own personal Wiffle Ball park, launching 35 baseballs into places only NASA should be able to reach.
And he "lost."
The Home Run Derby historians -- folks clearly still looking for ways to fill those other 364 days a year -- will forever tell us that Twins first baseman Justin Morneau was the "winner" of this event. But that doesn't mean it wasn't Hamilton's night.
And all it took for him to hijack this night was the 28 home runs he hit IN ONE ROUND.
Before Hamilton started pounding baseballs halfway to the Statue of Liberty, only one man (Bobby Abreu, in 2005) had ever hit 28 Derby home runs in one NIGHT, let alone one round. But that was one of about 9 trillion historical Derby milestones that Hamilton obliterated with his little magic show.

I hope Inge hits 0 homeruns
Although I admit my dislike for him is irrational.
the preceding post was a great success.
I don't know
I think mauer’s relatively low HR numbers are more to do with not swinging for a HR than a lack of physical power. I wouldn’t be surprised if he shows up decently.

Did you hear Berman's nickname for him?
“The Inge word”. Think about it.
I’m not one who gets offended by anything, but how do you not get yanked out of the booth for that?

Just for comparison purposes to last year...
Hamilton is the only player that hit double digits last year in the first round. Second most in first round last year were Morneau and Berkman with 8 each.
Morneau had 17 homers combining the first and second rounds to make the finals.

Actually, I'm not sure if that was one of his 500+ shots...
but it was a high 400 one.

I think there was only one non-hammy 470 HR last year
but hamilton hit 3 over 500 and probably a dozen over 470, thats why it was so remarkable.
the preceding post was a great success.
Yup...
Hamilton had over 2 miles of home run balls in that first round…
Think the total was somewhere around 11k feet.

He can get 11. just don't get 12.
i wonder what kind of tiebreak system there would be, i can’t remember.. seems like there must have been a tie for the 4th before.
Looks like prince won’t quite make it.. hope so.
the preceding post was a great success.
Looking back...
they had a tie in 2003 with 4 homers for 4th place, and they used HR totals for the current season to date to break the tie.
Ron Washington...giving hope everywhere to the kids who eat lead paint chips of being a big league manager when they grow up since 2007.
fielder and cruz both have 22 heh.
anyway i looked it up now and the 2nd tiebreaker appears to be longest HR.. which means fielder is ahead of cruz.
Hmm.. 6 people left.. Cruz is probably safe but the 2ndp erson beating him is a little worrying anyway heh.

My suspicions were right, that Pitch Track software is useless...
especially if it’s only used on replays, they aren’t going to show replays of non-homers, figured maybe it’d be like the first down line and used during play. What’s really the point of it?

I'm not 100% sure...
but the Baseball Almanac page I’m looking at has Ryne Sandberg winning with 3 homers, and Mark McGwire and Matt Williams both having 1 homer, so I’m guessing they used different rules then. It’s also labeled as 1st and 2nd inning of batting. So possibly it was 3 “outs” and you were done until your next time up?

No no, just all Cardinals not named Isringhausen

St Louis is the opposite of DFW
In St Louis, baseball is king and football is a sport to watch after the baseball season is over. In DFW, it’s all about the Jerry Jones circus and baseball is the filler.
I think it has alot more to do with
the giant cardinal fan base. They were talking about it a bit, but until the Giants relocated to San Fran, the Cardinals were the southern and western most franchise, Their radio network and radio team of Harry Caray and Jack Buck was broadcast over a giant area of the country.
It's unfortunate that Aikman is paired with Buck for the Fox broadcasts....
I tend to enjoy Aikman’s views on the game, despite his desire to appear like he never played for the Cowboys. But I cannot stand Joe Buck and his…..douchey-ness drivel.

So Brandon Inge
can hit the ball 1500 feet in Detroit, bench 4000 lbs, do a reverse 360 FT line dunk, along with many other super feats that TAG and Josh raved on about for an hour back in Detroit in April…..but….he can’t hit one HR in the derby?
LOL Gotta love it. Fuck you Mr. Inge.
little known fact
brandon inge can’t hit.
except this year for some reason.

Impromptu OT Question: Strip Club Coupon
I was listening to Dan Patrick today on a Wisconsin radio station on my iPhone and they had a commercial with what sounded like the tackiest coupon I’ve heard of.
It was for a strip club in Wisconsin. They were offering a coupon that you could print off a website for $5 off a lap dance. My question is, would you use it, how would you use it, and how bad would you feel using it?
Would you just place the coupon in the girl’s g-string along with the money, or does she make change? Personally, I’d feel extremely tacky even considering using the coupon for some reason, when in reality, what’s really the difference between that and using a coupon at say SportsClips?
Ron Washington...giving hope everywhere to the kids who eat lead paint chips of being a big league manager when they grow up since 2007.
any strip club that has those coupons
is probably one you wouldnt want to go to anyway.

Nelson fouls a ball off and it knocks some ESPN representative senseless :)
The hilarious part is that the camera kept zooming on the guy that got hit. And here’s Berman’s voice getting all somber when the camera cuts away to an oblivious Nelson… joyfully asking someone off-camera…‘how many outs left’?
