I do think it's dumb, and always have, that the 1st round totals carry over.

Is Berman really THAT slow that he has to wait for the ball to land to tell if it's a HR or not?

Still wish Upton and or Stanton would of been in thsi contest. I wanna see some moon shots, and these guys arent really delivering. Outside of 1 or 2 swings

Upton, Willy Mo, Stanton, Adam Lind would be some good choices imo. Guys with pure power who can hit it a mile is what this should be about....of course Cano is putting on a pretty good show tonight.

Just got in, was there a delay or is this just taking forever?

Orel said last night lefties would dominate this, guess he was right. Prince messed up picked 3 RH bats.

Cano might be my favorite player in baseball, and Gonzalez might be my least favorite. Interesting contrast in the final.

Thanks for the show Robinson!

I think he and his Dad could've went for 20 in the final round....Wily Mo, Upton....all those guys would've been great and maybe gave us a 500 footer or two....but no one would've came close to Cano...awesome derby.

Nice win by Cano, and I still hate the yankees.

Was he reaching out for a Josh Hamilton home run ball?

IT'S A FUCKING BASEBALL PEOPLE!!!

Go to Dick's and buy one. They're like a couple bucks. NOT WORTH LOSING YOUR LIFE OR BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED.
