Thanks for this thread - I've been searching for a Home Run Derby tracker that would function properly on my work computer and hadn't found one yet.  Any updates after guys finish would be greatly appreciated.

Giancarlo Stanton participate the HR derby into weren't for his injury. He would be a huge favorite to win if he is healthy. Dude has the best raw power that I've seen

Everybody post your favorite Chris Berman Hate-Tweets!

"I really look forward to Chris Berman's commentary, humor and voice" -MAYBE some guy in 1983, but no one since.

 

We all agree that hitting/injuring people in the should be worth more HRs. Auto-win for hitting Chris Berman

 

Even on mute, Chris Berman is giving me a headache.

My child is 23 hours old and Chris Berman's yelling has already made him cry.

For obvious reasons, Chris Berman is no longer the play-by-play man for the Chiropractor Olympics.

If you press the SAP button on your remote control, Chris Berman amazingly sounds even more annoying in spanish.

11 for Bautista, struggled at first, hit a couple dinky ground balls, but really turned it on with the gold ball.

Andrew McCutchen's 4 home runs are more than every other Pittsburgh Pirate ever in the HR Derby.

Bonds had a round of 2 and a 0, another Pirate had a 0.  More competitors than home runs, before tonight.

Another home run from Prince lands in the water and floats harmlessly away. Very nice.

Also, at least as a collective mob, the kids in the outfield have decent range. I will say that.

I was gonna say that Prince's turn could've gone better, but Kemp just proved it certainly could've been worse.

C'mon, Cano....hit three.  My interest in the Derby falls off a cliff when the Tigers' rep is eliminated.

These KC fans are disgraceful. They play in a wretched stadium which is always empty, and haven't been relevant in years. Billy Butler has no reason to be an all star in the first place. Cano made the right choices. KC is the arm pit of the major leagues.
