the HRD effect on the swing

I hope CP spends all Wednesday and Thursday swinging for oppo shots. I’m pretty worried about him staying too pull conscious and continue slumping.

Then again, maybe the ability to consistently drive the ball there will give him some confidence and start a hot streak. Either way, I’m setting the o/u of timeouts at 4 and praying he doesn’t strike out.

by jwgator on Jul 13, 2009 7:26 PM EDT via mobile reply actions   0 recs

Nevermind about pull conscious. Glad to see he took the oppo approach. Joe Magrane probably is as well.

I'm sure someone that isn't on the all-star team that hits for power would love to do it.

I haven’t looked at the stats but I’m sure there is a better option that would be perfectly willing to do it if it means being apart of the festivities. Kinda like the NBA Dunk contest

rules change all the time for all-star games

why not change it so that you don’t have to be in the all-star game to be in the HR Derby.

He is into the next round.

To get to the final, is it combined 1st and 2nd round?
