Sano is getting screwed because his pitcher can't get it over the plate. He's coming on late, but he took a lot of pitches early and lost a lot of time. Ended up with 11. That's beatable.

She's really, really excited. These home runs are getting her wet. That's pretty cool.

This guy cheated. They have to land before you throw the next pitch. He hit two out before they landed.

This pitcher isn't throwing hard enough to Bellinger. Maybe 40 mph. You gotta throw it at least 60 mph. That helps it go out. The harder you throw the better it comes off the bat.

The HR derby is like the dunk contest. I don't understand the appeal of it once you're an adult.

So there's no truth to that myth that this thing fucks up your swing in the second half, right?

My son told me when he is in it he wants me to pitch to him. I thought that was very nice but the reality is I would embarrass myself by hitting him with a few.

I watched a little of that softball game. Ivan Rodriguez and Bernie Williams need to put the fork down. Jennie Finch has kept it pretty tight at 36 with kids.

She would have been less annoying had she not been yelling most of the time.

He shouldn't crowd the plate if he doesn't want to get hit.

I hit a kid in the helmet the other day. You don't want to be the first couple or last couple of batters when I'm throwing BP. The middle guys are safe.
