all my friends were just going nuts, and i was seriously just doing nothing, i didn't know what to say or think....13 straight home runs is downright scary. And 3+ 500 foot bombs? You will never see anything like that again in a derby, no way.

the home run derby is cool, when you're like 12. Mildly impressive.

How anyone sees that and says mildly impressive is beyond me.

why the hell does it matter how old you are? they still just throw it about 50 mph regardless of age.....

Post by duceisinmyheart on Jul 15, 2008 11:11:16 GMT -5
looked like 5 MPH to me

Post by Phoenix Phil on Jul 15, 2008 11:14:00 GMT -5
I really doubt he was throwing them 50 MPH, even to begin with, but it really doesn't matter that much

its glorified batting practice... home run hitters should be able to jack the ball when its served up to them like that.

they all pretty much thrown the same speed, and just throw it to where the batters want the ball.
It does not matter how fast it was, actually it is harder to hit them out if the ball is being pitched slower.
marty i doubt you would hit one out of the infield.

Did you see how many balls he hit out? Did you see how far he hit them? Amazing.
