2024 Home Run Hitting Contest Thread

[Abomination]

Let's see some home runs! Also, that national anthem rendition was really, really painful.

[Pinkfloid]

What the s*** was that anthem? Sounded like Billie Eilish's hemorrhoid

[Stangstag]

Holy f*** that was one of the worst anthem attempts i’ve ever seen.

 

Grammy-nominated?? Jesus christ

Billie Eilish with strep and bronchitis could sing better than this chick, im certain

[L54]

Holy s*** that anthem was baaaad

brutal

I bet Ozuna and as an underdog went with Teo.

[hanton]

she probably can't sing live without Autotune

[Abomination]

Okay, Gunnar is hilarious! I'd love to see the MLB players be able to theme their bats!

[hanton]

your pitcher is even more important now that there's a pitch count of 40

[L54]

Dang great round for Bohm

[Abomination]

Some easy power for Bohm. Looking forward to some of the big boys though.

Have to say I REALLY dislike this constant "cut-to-30-second-picture-in-picture- commercial" over every brief break in the action. The announcers are even in the middle of some (granted, banal) commentary when these jarring cuts happen so it's likely a Sportsnet thing. Very viewer-unfriendly stuff but not surprising coming from Rogers.

Alonso out already after round 1 ha.

Pretty sure all networks do this. Not just sportsnet. I agree it sucks.

The derby got off to a good start, but that was kind of disappointing. We need Joc, Vladdy, and Ohtani in there next year!

ESPN does this as well but what's more annoying is the in park play-by-play announcer is talking at the same time as the ESPN announcers - it should be one or the other

[Pinkfloid]

The extent to which such things have become the norm is really depressing

[hanton]

I like the floating EV and LA stats as the hitter makes contact

[Jonn]

Alec Bohm gotta be the most generic create a player dude ever.

[hanton]

mic the players geez, the on field interactions are the most interesting and fun part of this

[CJ-Freeway]

Rooting for Teo! Lfggg

They are mic'd

Nice hair though!

[CJ-Freeway]

Damn, I miss Teo. Great performance tonight

[Jonn]

Teo return in LF next Season with DH time once Varsho takes over in Center sounds like a decent option.

one way to win the fans back

[Jonn]

Jays gotta sign the Royals batting practice pitcher. Dudes jamming up Witt in this round lol

[Abomination]

Teoscar and Witt saved an otherwise disappointing derby!

[Stangstag]

Congrats to Teo! Easy power, always been a monster
