Wow, well done. What did you choose for max distance?

 

I put 510 as the max distance on my original bracket with Judge winning. Though the rest of the bracket with my selections were messed up obviously.

Joel Embiid is 7'2, his hand is probably massive.

 

Here's Embiid holding a basketball.

Lol that's absurd

This gif gives me some memories.

Never understood why they don't show the HS Derby final rather than cutting to a commercial. We want Naylor!

 

Naylor hit 2. That's why it's not televised. Winner hit 5 I think.

[Brownie19]

That was entertaining AF. Watching Bour in front of his own fans screaming and pimping home run after home run was unreal. That guy reminds me of Matt Stairs. I never knew he had that kinda pop. Judge is simply ridiculous. Four 500+ ft home runs was unbelievable.

 

I also enjoyed watching Stanton hit rapid fire home runs in Round 1. If they could make any change, I'd get rid of the rule that the ball has to land before you throw another pitch. Screw it - go at whatever pace you want. MLB has done this right.

Home runs/juiced balls and the Yankees becoming relevant again are only going to help the game.

[Brownie19]

It's all good, he'll be first half Joey Gallo before long.

 

Just looking to understand all the hate on here for Judge. Is it just because he's a Yankee?

 

Personally - I LOVE great young baseball players regardless of the team they play for. The Yankees new young core is probably going to be a significant hurdle for our Blue Jays for the better part of the next decade, but for some reason, I can't help but get excited by what they have there. It's good for baseball.

Obviously yeah - if he was on our team we'd all love him.

BRING BACK CHRIS BERMAN!

BRING BACK CHRIS BERMAN!

 

 

Heard his wife died in a car crash a few months ago and he's taking time off. Sad if true

It's true.

It's true.

 

Brutal

ah that's awful. I never heard that. I missed him last night.

Who cares how many they hit. Give them spotlight for the short amount of time they are competing.

Wait are you back?

Wait are you back?

 

What?

It's a dick move by them to omit the poor performances. Some of these players will never be back again.

[Brownie19]

What?

 

I thought you were MIA all summer. Perhaps I didn't notice your return (phone broke a week ago and I've been a mess since). WB.

No, I've just been here more the past few days since there are 2 drafts ongoing in the forum fantasy leagues.

Two? BBDL and ?

[jays_fever]

Brutal

 

Ha ha I preferred your original response to this.

[TheHurl]

This would be fun to show for minor league parks across the land...
