Open Thread: Home Run Derby

PrintHere's a place to hang out and watch the State Farm 2011 Home Run Derby. For entertainment purposes only, here are each player's odds of winning as of this morning (via bodog.com):
| Player | Odds | :1 |
| Jose Bautista | 11/4 | 2.75 |
| Prince Fielder | 15/4 | 3.75 |
| David Ortiz | 9/2 | 4.5 |
| Matt Holliday | 9/2 | 4.5 |
| Adrian Gonzalez | 11/2 | 5.5 |
| Matt Kemp | 7 | 7 |
| Robinson Cano | 17/2 | 8.5 |
| Rickie Weeks | 12/1 | 12 |
I've taken the liberty of simplifying the fractions a bit.
Bodog also gives 3/1 odds that Rickie Weeks will be held homerless in the first round. Clearly, they don't think much of his chances....and it seems possible they've never watched him take BP.
At any rate, Nashville Sounds hitting coach Sandy Guerrero will pitch to both Fielder and Weeks tonight. Follow that link to Tennessean.com for more on his strategy. Guerrero was also the pitcher when Fielder won the event in 2009, and also pitched to Corey Hart last year.

Homerless in the first round?
Is there a link to that wager? I don’t see it on the prop bet page.
You know . . . just asking :)
Rickie will hit atleast 3.
Everyone will. And the thing about Weeks is, why would you swing for HRs when most of your ABs occur with noone on base?

Prince selected Weeks to send message to RR
power hitter, not lead off man
Lead off with Nyjer, then the big 3
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
I can't believe Yuni wasn't selected
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is

He didn't pick Upton
The Brewers at Miller Park: "ALL WE DO IS WIN, WIN, WIN NO MATTER WHAT"
The Brewers on the road: "all we do is lose, lose lose, no matter what..."
are you sure it was Upton?
I know the Arizona players were supporting Wily Mo Pena for the HR Derby, presumably because this year they could pick anyone and having a bunch of 3TO sluggers out there, well, why not?
I still don't understand that logic
He only had 15 home runs. There are 2 d-backs with more…

Looked like he was really trying to lift them. I think he might've done better staying true to his style.
Bernie: I seem to have lost my sense of direction!
Kermit: Have you tried Hare Krishna?
Well, he's strong, but his real strength is bat speed
And it’s really, really, really hard to snap the bat that fast when the pitches are coming in fat and slow
I've never seen him take BP...
But I would have to guess he doesn’t pull off the ball as much as he did in the derby. He was really falling away on nearly every swing, which would explain why he either crushed it really high or pulled a grounder.
I understand that.
I’m saying I think he drastically altered his swing in the derby. I would assume his BP swing is an amped up version of his normal swing. Tonight he was not so much snapping his wrists as he was pulling his whole body off to the left.
Yeah, I think that's probably fair.
He was trying to hit tape measure shots when his normal swing would’ve been fine. Now I’m a little concerned about him bouncing back.
Now that's great tasting chicken!
That is NOT how he swings in BP.
Otherwise I wouldn’t have put money on him. Kind of disappointed, but there’s still Prince to root for at least.

My dog gets ahold of literature.
It’s amazing…she left my 2011 Bill James in tact. It proves that even dogs can’t help but like Votto. The only thing she got rid was the table of contents.
and then my friends magazine, had the word “pimp.” She took a bite out of that. I’m glad, because that stuff is trash.

Lol, Little Fielder warming up.
Awesome. Show stealer.

If he has enough cushioning, next round...
Will he hit a few from the other side of the plate? I saw him warming up right-handed!

My son really liked Santa and the Pool.
I really liked the occupants of the pool.

I'm amused by the fact that at least two cameramen were circling the pool just now.
Now that's great tasting chicken!
Wonder if they were the crew assigned to Jeter
He’s there, though, isn’t he?

Okay...Adrian's pitcher needs to stop with the good tosses.
Maybe his arm will cramp up.

I'm not comfortable with what I just said.
Not sure it was the nicest thing to wish on someone.

its just a cramp
not like he will need tommy john surgery
Every man must believe in something, I believe I'll have another drink.
You must be new here if you worry about wishing cramps upon one being "too far"
I don't get why some people think I'm weird.

I'm going to lobby for a Plush-call next year.
He’ll take Berman’s place!

Rickie with the camo shorts?
That’s a bold move
The Brewers at Miller Park: "ALL WE DO IS WIN, WIN, WIN NO MATTER WHAT"
The Brewers on the road: "all we do is lose, lose lose, no matter what..."
That lady almsot died
and she was just like “whatevs”

Boy that view sucks

bummer, burned out.

This park sucks for the HRD

"Splish splash we were takin' a bath"
Ok, now I’m kind of rooting for Prince to end my misery.
"PLUSH ALERT: THERE WAS AN UNTUCKING AT FENWAY!"
The derby makes me feel like this
The Brewers at Miller Park: "ALL WE DO IS WIN, WIN, WIN NO MATTER WHAT"

is that your dog?
of so, that’s one good lookin’ dog.

Nor is Kiga
She’s bugging me to take her for a walk, so I think that’s the plan. I don’t care about the final if it ain’t a Brewer.

It's time to hang out with the puppy
Too bad about the derby. I’ll see if anyone’s here later. Take care, everybody!

The home run derby is like...
… trying to eat a bag full of your favorite candy bars in one sitting: enjoyable for a while and then you end up puking.

It gets pretty repetetive
I would love to have Berman’s enthusiasm for every standard issue home run to right, but it really stops being impressive after a while.
Normally, it's bed-time. I think she's okay, now.
This was taken almost 2 months ago, but she was looking at me like this. Sort of like…“well? Who won?” (or, “snack?”).

Next time something like this happens, I need advice.
(how to explain the concept of failure… these are here heroes).

How the hell does Jennie Finch look like that
if she had a baby 3 weeks ago? whistle
The Brewers at Miller Park: "ALL WE DO IS WIN, WIN, WIN NO MATTER WHAT"
The Brewers on the road: "all we do is lose, lose lose, no matter what..."
When she struck out almost 400 batters in a season
… she was given a super power… to not have to look like she’d ever had a baby.
FanGraphs should consider a venue for a Gallery Night... they could even serve a cake with a Win Expectancy Chart of the 7/7/11 Brewers' game etched in the frosting, and 7-up. Oh, yeah - and t-shirts that say "SABR-Friday." I'm totally there.

my bad
Looked at the chart and took the 397 ks, but these were her US team seasons combined. Good enough, though.
