Dunno, but this shot of Prince as a kid is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

goddamn multiteamer

 

[Silver Arrows]

Holy shit, Cincy was hype for Frazier.

 

[OctoMan]

Anyone? What was that bonus time for?

 

[thefro]

This has been good so far... we'll see what happens when everyone is gassed in the finals though.

 

[Kave_Man]

Check Donaldson for HGH right now

Right after he leaves the batters box

EDIT: Junior mystified by the idea of a timeout in an HR derby

I find this disrespectful.

 

[HeySeuss]

Anyone? What was that bonus time for?

They get 30 seconds of bonus time if they hit 2 or more 425+ feet.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Anyone? What was that bonus time for?

You hit 2 over 425.

 

[vas_a_morir]

That last round is proof why the new format rules. So exciting.

DUDE... what if regular baseball had a timer...

 

[JDHarbs]

Between the time limit and crowd, that was probably the most exciting the HR Derby has ever been.

Sean Casey never would've had a career. He was a human rain delay.

I remember. Also, a huge talker.

 

[brianjones]

lol chips & salsa break

Beisbol needs no timer. That's what makes the actual games so exciting as you see from the Bucs win yesterday against the Cards.

But I agree I love the new rules for the derby. At first I didn't like the idea of getting rid of the 10 outs but this is exciting

 

[Osorio]

This format is great so far.

 

[rando14]

Omg announcers brought up Richie Sexson, I thought I had banished that memory from my mind!! -_-

 

[zroid]

this is the first time I've found a HR Derby remotely entertaining

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I believe in Joc.

 

[Dominican Power]

It's time for Machado to move over to SS to get the most value out of him.

 

[jello44]

Damn, Manny.

 

[Chuck]

Mannyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[MultiJhonny]

this is the first time I've found a HR Derby remotely entertaining

I have always loved them but they could drag on and then have an unsatisfying finish

 

[aFIGurANT]

The derby is so hard to listen to but so fun to watch...We need like Dave Cameron and Rob Neyer just talking FRAA for two hours while the athletes just slug bomb after bomb. I'd watch that.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

I only liked hr derby when any of the Red Sox were in it. Even then it wasn't exciting. This new format got me hooked, though!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Alright Harry your boy.

 

[brianjones]

joc has surpassed puig and mike piazza!

hee sop choi in the rearview mirror!

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

This ball is carrying tonight.

 

[rando14]

Joc doing things.......

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Joc baby.

 

[Chuck]

nooooo

 

[jello44]

YoungJoc might not need all 4 minutes

 

[zroid]

Joc embarrassing the competition

 

[MultiJhonny]

Hit one in the river Joc

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Yung Joc hitting everything that moves

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Some monster shots. Sort of sucks that guys who hit moon shots like that are at a bit of a disadvantage with the timer.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

Joc should get 60 seconds bonus time with those bombs.

edit: lol he doesn't even need bonus time. Good show.

 

[Chuck]

so many #jocjacks v_v

 

[vas_a_morir]

Man, da powah!

Could this be National League's year?

 

[jman2050]

I'm so sad Harper is not in this.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol he just walks away with a minute and a half still on the clock like a boss.

 

[vas_a_morir]

I'm so sad Harper is not in this.

Oh my God, that would be so hype. that boy is STRONK.

 

[thefro]

Bryant's gonna do quite a bit better than Rizzo

 

[UFO]

Between the time limit and crowd, that was probably the most exciting the HR Derby has ever been.

I think the best was when Josh Hamilton had that monster first round (and then gassed himself and "lost" to Morneau). But last years was by far the worst, it lasted like 8 hours, the rule change is very welcome.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

I'm so sad Harper is not in this.

Would love a Harper vs Trout.

 

[JoseDFrog]

Holy shit Young Joc! No effort swings. Ball just flies off the bat. Impressive.

 

[JDeluis]

Joc the God!

Maybe I'm biased because I'm a Reds fan, but I've never seen baseball and felt that feeling before. The tension before a 3-2 pitch in the bottom of the 9th is one thing, but this was a completely alien feeling with the timer.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Kris's dad can't pitch.

 

[boxter432]

Holy shit ESPN, zoom the hell out!! These camera views are AWFUL

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Kris's dad can't pitch.

Yeah he's pretty terrible. Bryant should have just had Rick Porcello pitch to him.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Bryant getting under all of these low pitches from Dad
