Oneil Cruz just put on a show. Not necessarily for volume but for the size of those blasts. 513' is insane.

I'm glad they tweaked it so the big guys have a chance and it's not all about how many swings you can take. Watching Arozarena hit 30 310' line drives is not nearly as fun.

I tried to watch the home run derby and it was the boringist **** of my life, lol. So ridiculous. Did you guys watch all of it? Made even worse because they don't have the crowds mic'd up properly so it's just hit after hit and silence as it happens. Such a terrible way to spend an evening. They need to condense it so each batter isn't up there for four ****ing hours each time.

Likewise. What’s become apparent is that all pro sports all star games are for kids. But they haven’t adjusted to today’s kids who aren’t ignorant of silliness as I was 30 years ago. Behind the scenes it’s obviously for the sponsors but all these sports have to do something else. It’s total cheese.
