Official 2008 Home Run Derby Thread

Ok here are some interesting stats on who is favorites in terms of numbers on paper:

 

 

Uggla 13 AB's per HR

Longoria 19.4 AB's per HR

Utley 24.8 AB's per HR

Berkman 26 AB's per HR

Sizemore 27.5 AB's per HR

Braun 28.3 AB's per HR

Hamilton 31.7 AB's per HR

Morneau 44.4 AB's per HR

 

 

Interesting?

 

Interesting? Yes.

 

But seriously, stats mean nothing in the Home Run Derby.

 

Well of course, which is why I said on paper. Just goes to show you, a healthy Uggla this season would be good for like 30-33 HRs right now.

 

 

Yep, and right now he's on pace for 40+, without the injury he may have been on pace for 50+

what about HR per swing>?

Gotta love the options on ESPN's HR Derby Winner Poll:

 

Hamilton

Utley

Berkman

Other

 

Noooo sign of Uggla. I hope he wins it, just to show everyone who we are.

GO DAN!!!!

 

I wonder if Hanley didn't participate in the derby knowing they'd just intentionally walk him :mis2

I think they just didn't want to have 2 guys from one team. If I had to pick one for the derby, it would definitely be Uggla...or Cody Ross, but that's another story.

hes going to pitch to himself, than go run to the box, and hit it out

He was going to have Hanley pitch to him, but kept getting struck out in BP.

Haha, I figured they didn't want 2 from the same team. I was just joking around. But seriously, they'd walk him if he was in it... :D

lol... utley heard boo's and ESPN caught him saying "BOO? f*** YOU!"

 

LOL!

 

 

Dammit... I wish I had tivo so I could record it and post it

berman is great. wtf are you talking about

 

Maybe like ten years ago when I was 14, was Berman great.

Haha, I'm in the same boat. I can't believe I ever liked that hack.
