I didn't know Todd Frazier was in this! Still probably not going to watch though.

[HERPDERP]

There should be a wager on how many "back!"'s that Chris Berman says.

It becomes watch-able when you gamble on it.

This should be a drinking game

Has anyone ever attended a home run derby? I can't imagine it being that much fun.. maybe if your lucky to see a record breaking performance.

[jays_fever]

I always have the derby on, but it's not something I actually look forward to every year

 

There's a bunch of heavy hitters in this derby and a hometown guy, should be good

[Jays]

I'm picking Stanton.

[reedjohnsonfan]

I'm picking Stanton.

 

Boring pick, everyone is picking him. +250 is terrible value IMO. Well, they're all terrible value (except Jones IMO).

[jays_fever]

Seriously everyone should put money on Jones..has no one ever seen him take BP

[NorthOf49]

I'm picking him in the Home Run Contest game. Seems like a decent dark horse.

[Stangstag]

Im gonna call Puig to win this year. Just a feeling

[Governator]

Encarnac... oh wait.. Abreu!? oh hmmm... got to be Cruz!!! Trout?? Maybe Victor Martinez? Screw it then, I pick David Ortiz.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Stanton's going to run away with this.

 

I picked Stanton in the final with Cespedes, and Cespedes winning.

[Atothe]

Adam Jones, book it

[jays4life19]

Jones 15.00 odds on Sports interaction. 5 bucks = 75 payout. Worth it for 5 bucks.

I've been at 2.

 

Philly '96 @ the Vet. Caught a ball off McGwire in the 5th deck LF and had another ball clang off my hands.

 

Detroit in '05. My buddy that came with me, wanted nothing to do with being down in an open area trying to catch a ball, so I sat down the 3B line Upper Deck at Comerica pissed off.

 

Unless I'm very sick or dead, will be heading down to Cincy next year. Wanted to be in Minny today & tomorrow, but my kitchen reno going on, just killed my bank account.

 

The derby's are very fun (aside from '05). It's like Batting Practice with 50,000 people amped up watching guys all trying to hit jacks. The fun parts are the bombs that get hit, not necessarily the competiton between players. And I'd want to be in a spot where balls are being hit, not just be there to watch.

[baseballsss]

I'm picking Stanton. That guy is going to hit some looong homers, should be fun to watch.

[jays_fever]

Jones 15.00 odds on Sports interaction. 5 bucks = 75 payout. Worth it for 5 bucks.

 

I threw down 25 on him, 25 on Fraizer.

 

Fully expecting Donaldson to win it now

[Nox]

Jones 15.00 odds on Sports interaction. 5 bucks = 75 payout. Worth it for 5 bucks.

 

That does seem like the best price they're offering.
