Cespedes takes it home! Love watching him hit.

 

Didn't get to see it but read and watch some highlights. Cepedes was sick! man 17 in the first round. And how about Fielder that was some impressive shots, man I can recall as a kid watching his dad in old tiger stadium hitting monster shots on the roof. And Davis had a good showing.  Too bad we didn't get to see CarGo in there.

 

Looking forward to seeing Scherzer and Harvey light it up tonight.

Watching him in the second round, you could tell he was taking it easy.  Didn't need to hit at all since nobody had caught him, but apparently he wanted the American League to win the overall numbers.  Then in the third round there were a couple times when he hit the ball and grimaced, thinking he hadn't gotten enough of it, and then the ball would go out.  That last home run to dead center was just huge.

 

Davis in the second round looked like he was trying too hard.  His swing wasn't quite as easy as it was in the first.  

 

Next year can we see Stanton and Puig as well?  Please?

LOL yes we can see Stanton and Puig next time. I kinda wish stanton was in there, I watched the fox games sat and WOW did you see the BOMB he hit off of Soriano to tie it? Dead Center! Nice shot.

 

Did you like Puigs twitter of the crying kid in protest of the fan vote. IMO it was pretty tastefully done, a protest or point he wanted to make without being too offensive or serious. Kinda funny.

They say he has a huge ego, guess if I could hit 400 for 1st month in the bigs I might think highly of myself, but pride before the fall. Hope he doesn't get too ahead of himself.

 

Nice signatures whittler, both of them....kinda give me an idea for mine.

 

Craig is just an Old School, Stan the Man type ball player that just can flat out hit in any situation.

Saw the replay.  Almost had as much fun watching Jose Fernandez react to it.

Here's another laser beam:  Stanton's first HR in 2013

 

 

The speed of the ball off his bat is just scary.

 

The only time I really follow Facebook or Twitter is when I'm looking for info about new stuff. Don't have an account for either one, and didn't see Puig's tweet.

 

I wish Craig was hitting more home runs, but he'll probably go on a tear sometime soon.  So far this year he's hit exactly one home run at home.  On the other hand, his line drive percentage is much higher than it's been in previous years.  His fly ball percentage is down as much as his line drive rate is up, so I guess that's a good thing.

 

I just like seeing the ball leave the park…  :pray:

I saw Puigs tweet on yahoo sports article, I have no social media myself.

 

I also saw this article today. I truly hope this guy is clean, seems like a good dude.

Speaking of the cards and hrs how about Beltran, he is going to be close to his career highs in HR and RBI if he can keep it up.

I HATE fox! Tim McCarver, I would rather listen to my toilet flush repeatedly for 9 innings.
