Who are you rooting for?

 

[BeanieAntics]

Expecting a yuge Derby from Acuna.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Kinda crazy that Acuna went from the longshot to the 3rd betting favorite over the course of a day.

 

[CyYoung31]

I don’t see Acuna winning this. I’d be surprised if he makes it out of the first round.

When was the last time a Brave advanced past the first round in the Derby? Chipper in like 97?

 

[CyYoung31]

Vlad Jr and Pete Alonso are my picks.

 

[sturg33]

The ESPN statcast broadcast has made a big deal about the leader in exit velocity always making it to the finals or winning. Acuna comes in leading in that category. He also has the highest average distance and launch angle.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Vlad Jr is a monster, but he’s going to get tired quickly.

Or not...

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Good Heavens, Vlad Jr

 

[CyYoung31]

Like I said. Vlad Jr was my pick.

 

[Runnin]

Acuna looks like a child compared to Vlad Jr.

Acuna looks like a child compared to Vlad Jr.

which means he won't be a DH within 5 years

Vlad Jr has a violent swing. He could turn into Prince Fielder and have a short career if he keeps swinging that hard being that big.

 

[CyYoung31]

Lol, Acuna admiring his HR instead of taking the next swing.

I was thinking the same thing. Kid needs to watch his weight to really unlock his potential.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Good round so far at the timeout

 

[CyYoung31]

YES YES INJECT THIS **** STRAIGHT INTO MY ****ING VEINS

 

[Hudson2]

Acuna!! Most impressive so far. He’s hitting homeruns all over the field!

 

[Enscheff]

Umm...

Is anyone else watching Acuna spray HRs all over the field like someone taking warmup swings?

Never seen anyone do that in an HR derby.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Those oppo shots were ridiculous.
