MLB 2022: Playing Ball, But Is Anyone Still Watching?

Albert Pujols somehow makes it to the second round of the derby. Put up a weak 13, but Schwarber never got into a groove and it went to a swing off where Pujols then ripped off seven in a minute.

ESPN is showing the speed and launch angle of each hit. Seems like anything 100mph+ and 20 degrees or more gets out, so once you get the pattern down you can tell if it's going to be a home run or not well before it lands. I feel like George Costanza.

Philly fans are screaming that it is rigged and Schwarber also hit 20. I haven't watched enough replays to truly be able to tell. Could be Philly being Philly.
 
ASG jerseys are miles better than last season since they’re just different colored versions of the regular jerseys. Would still be better if they still wore the normal threads though.

Also, if this game is tied after the 9th, instead of extras, they’re going to choose three players a side and do a HR derby where each player gets three swings.
 
Another crime against humanity by NL hitters tonight. It feels like we have lost 20 straight of these. A far cry from the 70s.
 
Fair point.

@MarcEvanJackson: I’m at the @RedSox @BlueJays game.
Between innings, a guy proposed to his girlfriend, she said yes, and the stadium dj played, “We Fell in Love in a Hopeless Place.”

An inside the park grand slam should never happen. And not in a quadrillion years inside Fenway.

Mike Greenwell did it back in the early 90s. His went down the RF line and stayed up against the wall & got past the RF.

Last night, Duran lost the ball in the glare and it hit 20-30' behind him in CF and bounced off the CF wall. He never moved to chase it and the LF had to run all the way over to get it.

It was a bad night for the Home Towne Team.
 
One more early AM post

@BNightengale: Remember when the #Athletics drafted Kyler Murray with their No. 1 pick in 2018, trying to convince him to choose #MLB over the #NFL?
Well, he just signed a 5-year, $230.5M extension with Arizona Cardinals.
He’ll earn an average of $46.1M a year.
The A's entire payroll is $48.5M

Umm what? You are basically saying inside the park home runs should never happen. It doesn't really have anything to do with the existing base runners, unless it's throwing errors. If the guy hitting is fast and puts it in the right spot, there is a chance for one.

I'd agree doing it at Fenway is pretty difficult.
