Home Run Derby tonight

Who's gonna stay up and watch Team Kemp take on Team Cano?

This is my first HR Derby, what should I expect? Fun? Boredom?

Fun; come on Bautista!!!

I'm glad I didn't stay up. Watched it this morning and fast forwarded through the whole thing after the first round.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of all-star break myself. Don't realy bother with the HR derby, looking instead to the second part of the season. They ought to change the home-field advantage influence the all-star game has on the world series too, revert back to what happens in the Japanese league.

"Fans" who abused Cano's family were a disgrace.

Yes, I'm quite looking forward to the Braves chasing down the Nationals.

What happens in the Japanese leagues?

I agree.

Rather than having the NPB all-star game dictate who gets home-field first the CL and PL alternate with the CL getting it if the current years ends in an even number and the PL getting it on odd numbered years.

That's how MLB used to do it.
