    I know, but still. I picked Alonso and Vlad.

    He just played by the rules, but that’s still some bull****.

    He won it without topping 23 in any round. Vlad, Jr. was clearly gassed that last round.

    Head to head against a guy who took 3x as many swings as he did. He wasn’t the best homerun hitter in this derby, he just won it based on luck of the draw.

    Freddie will probably make him wait for that. He can win the WS MVP, though.

    yea, going second helped as did facing players that tired themselves out hitting more homeruns the previous round.

    I don't like Alonso because he's a Met. Being a Met is a deep character flaw.

    Again, Alonso played the hand he was dealt. But I can still think it’s pretty lame.

    I'm chill. I couldn't care less who wins that crap. If there was a real game on, I wouldn't have even watched. I'm perfectly fine with Alonso winning and donating to a good cause though

    Good for you, so am I. I don’t care either, though I was rooting for Acuna. The HRD really isn’t important. I’m just pointing out a flaw in the system.

    Melt down over the derby? A new level of silliness around here haha.
