Home Run Derby thread

Holy **** is Morneau turning and burning right now.

 

[zeke12]

Morneau found his groove.

 

[pallister]

Morneau has incredible plate discipline. He could easily hit 50 HRs if he wanted to. Of course, his average would likely drop about 50 points.

I know Moddy hates the base-level commentary in baseball threads, but jesus ... ****ing Yankees fans... every ******* last one of them.

 

[buckweaver]

Any relation?

I don't think so. Craig Counsell is from Indiana and grew up in Wisconsin. Josh Hamilton and Clay Counsell are from North Carolina.

His name is Clay Council, actually. No relation.

That's what you get for using your agent as a BP pitcher

Guy's skimming 15 mph off every pitch.

What do you guys think is the most significant sports moment in Yankee Stadium history? I'd vote for Louis-Schmelling.

Either that, or the 1958 NFL championship game.

Gipper, devil? WTF? :

Not anymore ... Braun's raking now.

 

[Beaker]

Braun's on a tear.

 

[pallister]

Braun looks uncomfortable out there, but he's a lot stronger than I thought.

I actually listened to ESPN radio's coverage of the home run derby for a few minutes while I emptied the dishwasher. No Berman, no Reilly, no Morgan, not bad.

That is all.

Yes, I know what it is, devil. :

I'm just perplexed at why you think that game belongs anywhere on the list of most significant sporting events at Yankee Stadium.

I would place it there.

It's to college football what Ruth's called shot is to baseball.

 

[Armchair_QB]

Ho-lee ****

 

[Beaker]

Holy ****.

 

[doubledown68]

Josh Hamilton wins. **** the numbers.. holy ****! Did you see that second HR?

 

[OnTheRiver]

Hamilton took that old man deeeeeeeeeeeeep.

 

[bigpern23]

Did Hamilton just go Elvis on that pitch?

 

[pallister]

Really, really glad to see Hamilton laughing out there. Lots of pressure on the kid batting last.

They don't add up the distance! It's a 1 in the scorebook.
But it was a blast.
