Home Run Derby is fun again
Last night was great, right? No stopping for David Ortiz to give hitters drinks. No taking 25 pitches. The hitters had to get up there and swing. Swing. Swing. Will last night probably ruin Todd Frazier’s swing for the rest of the season? Probably. Does it matter? Not at all, the Reds suck so it doesn’t matter if Toddfather goes .221 with 5 HRs and 28 RBI the rest of the season. And when was the last time we had a finale like that in the Derby? When we had PEDs, right?
