OT: MLB Thread XLVII

[Crease]

The HR derby broadcast is absolutely terrible lol. There is so much traffic on the screen

It’s like an MSNBC broadcast.

 

[Rangers in 7]

did Jayson stark just say Trevor story as an option for the mets at third base......sign me up

 

[Roo Returns]

There is no more post July 31 waiver trade deadline. Last day to make a trade is 20 days from now.

That sucks. Welp shows that baseball is clearly not the priority it was in my younger years. I'm definitely a casual once to twice a week watcher nowadays.

 

[Crease]

Alonso is basically a goofy kid with superhuman strength.

 

[nyr2k2]

Pete is such a goofy dumbass, I love him.

He's also one of the most "natural" Derby participants I've seen. He doesn't have to change his swing at all. He just goes up and takes game hacks.

 

[nyr2k2]

If there's one guy I would be happy to see win other than Pete, it would be Mancini.

That said, let's f***ing go, Pete.

 

[Bob Richards]

Pete hot dogging lmfao

Jauss the GOAT pitcher lol

 

[Bob Richards]

Also I'm pretty sure Alonso has made more money winning the HR Derby than he has in actual baseball lol

 

[East Coast Bias]

The fact they have kids running around the outfield still makes me laugh. It’s always been that way and it always seems like such a bad idea as these guys hit missiles

Looked like they paused Alonso's restart because a lady hurt herself in the OF? Surprised that doesn't happen more.

Pete just looks so effortless in the Derby. You can see other guys are pressing. He just goes out and swats some dingers.

Probably the best description of Alonso you could ever make

 

[Machinehead]

Alonso actually really wants to win the Derby. I respect that.

 

[nyr2k2]

Yeah you can see he's having fun while doing it but is also really serious. When he's not swinging he's in the tunnels concentrating, getting in his zone, apparently with Zeppelin playing in his head. The fact that he has doubled his income with the Derby wins probably helps, too.

 

[Bob Richards]

I'm sorry but LOL

 

[NYR94]

Lol

Damn that's more money than I thought. Good for him.

Yeah I was saying to my dad "this dude hears music"

[Leetch3]

pete was a machine tonight

 

[Leetch3]

Yeah I was saying to my dad "this dude hears music"

everyone in the stadium could hear the music. thats how speakers work. pete was just the only one dancing between hitting 500ft homers lol

 

[East Coast Bias]

I'm sorry but LOL

/kid breaks their leg

Pete (nodding rapidly) “son they shook, cause ain’t no such things as halfway crooks”

 

[sbjnyc]

Get the intro right or he'll mash you.

 

[NYR94]

 

[mrmovies779]

We need Pete vs Judge or Stanton next year
