I thought Vlad would be the one tired out. It looks like Acuna is the tired one, and he took way less swings.

Maybe Acuna’s future is at 1B?

Bummer. Go Vlad

 

[CyYoung31]

Vlad Jr and Pete Alonso are my picks.

I hate being right.

 

[jpx7]

Womp.

 

[msstate7]

Well crap

 

[Skeeter31]

No one was going to beat Vlad, but to lose to a ****ing Met just makes me mad.

 

[CyYoung31]

Are we just going to ignore the fact that Acuna was completely gassed while taking way less swings than both Joc Pederson and future DH Vlad Jr?

At least Alonso isn't unlikeable. It's not his fault he's a Mutt.

Ronald won the aesthetics contest.

Meh.

Acuna isn’t built like those other dudes. He exceeded my expectations though and was a ton of fun to watch. His spray chart was incredible.

No, I think we should 60-day IL him

To be fair, he was also lofting balls to dead center and right... not enough pull shots

 

[AerchAngel]

Just imagine if Chris Berman was still doing this

He is like Dick Vitale, couldn't handle it anymoe.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Acuña is also the smallest guy in this derby, so fatigue could possibly be more of a factor because of that. Still thoigh, impressive show

 

[CyYoung31]

One of my most fervently held baseball wishes is that I want to see one of these kids in the outfield rob a home run. What a glorious disaster that would be in the social media era.

Well a fan caught Alonso’s first of that round short of the wall and they counted it. Bastards.

I prefer to look at it like he lost to a Gator, which is the noblest sort of defeat.

He had :30 bonus to go, so Acuna was beat. Acuna will have to settle for MVP and WS title

Probably started to have doubts if he even loved derbies.

Nice

**** Alonso. He had way less homeruns than three other guys and he’s going to win the derby.
