Dinger thread. DINGERS

[Ceetar]

Nothing better than the crack of the bat as dinger after dinger flies into the stands.

Wish Harper had struck out though.

I'd rather watch a Suzyn Waldman pap smear than the home run derby.

the world cup was yesterday.

[Guest 41Forever]

We're watching and I like the derby. But these announcers are awful. Taking this waaaaaay too seriously. I almost -- almost -- miss Chris Berman.

John Sterling said it wasn't that impressive.

IMO, this is boring. Baseball is not boring.

I couldn't give two flying shits about the HR derby.

[Frayed Knot]

So apparently there are Cubs fans -- guys who take this stuff maybe a bit too seriously -- who are demanding that Kyle Schwarber be declared the real HR Derby champion on account of Bryce Harper,
along with his pitcher/dad, serving up the next pitch prior to the previously hit HR landing. This is apparently in violation of the rew-ells which, if followed properly, wouldn't have left Harper with enough time in the final 'round (or whatever they're calling it) to catch and pass Schwarber for this all-important 'title'.

I wonder if this is the sort of 'cheating' which would make him ineligible for future HoF consideration?

I mean, he did violate the rules.

[Edgy MD]

I hope this goes to the Supreme Court.

[Frayed Knot]

And speaking of Harper's father ... you see the guns on that dude!?
Makes one wonder whether the BP pitchers are subject to PED testing. That question might wind up in front of the Supreme Court too.

I saw the photo and figured that was Schwarber, and then thought, "But why does he have a Nats jersey on?"

[Frayed Knot]

Schwarber is undoubtedly quite strong, but he strikes me more as the 'body by Pizza Hut' type of build.
