No wonder Joey Chestnut can swallow so many Hot Dogs.  Now it makes sense.

This would have been a good time slot to replay the MLB Futures game.  @Eephus

Or maybe have it tomorrow afternoon at 4 or something.  Just terrible that game is played on Sunday in the afternoon, Murder She Wrote is gonna get better ratings in that time slot in the summer. 

If you're going to have the league shut down until Friday, then move everything a day back and put the Futures Game on Monday.

Did Jamie Foxx just admit to liking huge piles of yayo?

Apparently, in honor of Aaron Judge, they moved the fences in to Yankee Stadium dimensions for the Celebrity Softball Game.

Livan really put some weight behind that one

It would be great schtick for someone to drop a pitch 6 feet outside and have Livan rung up on strikes.

I was skeptical before, but now I'm convinced the ball is juiced.

Especially the irony of Tim Raines grounding out to Jamie Fox.

Not since Josh Hamilton's 1st round at Yankee Stadium have I woken up the next day and had trouble comprehending what I had watched in the HRD the night before.

The power is just unreal. Bat to ball is the only real skill he needs. He was late on batting practice pitches, hitting them with 30+ degree launch angles, and they were still landing 15-20 rows deep oppo.

That spray chart looks like what my two boys did to my bathroom when I was trying to teach them to whiz in the toilet.

Come on now, a 3 person booth is very important when it comes to something like The Home Run Derby.

I'm just glad they finally found some outfield kids who can actually catch a fly ball on less than 2 bounces.
