LouDog Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I honestly have no idea what to expect form Acuna in the derby. Should be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'll be checking out Acuna. I usually dont watch the derby but hopefully Acuna goes off. CrimsonFalcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maorifalcon Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 He's got Bell first, I might put a cheeky 10er on Ronnie. Hes paying $11. I think a leftie will win it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Francis Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I’m psyched to see Acuna compete this year. And I also don’t typically watch. It’s played out with me but to each their own. Spts1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spts1 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Does baseball do ANYTHING right? If I hadn't just randomly switched to ESPN, I wouldn't have even known about the competition. They need that weekend window... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s played out with me but to each their own. Seems like EVERY pro sport has horrible Allstar games and competitions now. Back in the 80s and early 90s, those were marquee events... Late Edit: I think a lot of it has to do with over exposure of the athletes with television, internet, etc. Back in the 80s, early 90s you hardly got to see your favorite players. Now its no big deal... Edited July 8, 2019 by slickgadawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I have no idea how they decided on these homerun match ups but why is Matt Chapman #1 and Josh Bell #3 and why is Acuna going up against Bell? If you wanted to make this fair Acuna would have gotten matched up against Vald Jr because of both of them being the two youngest there.

Now its no big deal... That’s a really good point. It’s the desensitizing of the sport brain much like violence or sex. We’re messed up basically. Now everything is politicized it seems. For entertainment it seems. More like money. Spts1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The derby just isn't that big of a deal anymore. The announcers dont have much personality and we see a record number of home runs daily now. We've had one hit over 500 feet in a real game this year. Chicks may dig the long ball but the long ball is easily accessible these days.

I made a long post in another thread about how its coincidental that the league is promoting baseball in Europe and suddenly, the Yankees and Red Sox combine for the most runs ever in 2 games when they have played each other over there a few days ago...

FalconsIn2012 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I think Acuna’s size will hurt him. He has the best swing, but he will tire. Hope I’m wrong. But Bell has 55 pounds on him and Guerrero at 250 lbs is 70 pounds bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
