Excited to see what Frazier can do tonight in the derby.

MLB all star stuff is definitely my favorite all star stuff to watch. Even though yeah it's pretty pointless.

Got a 2 man team for the HR Derby. Had first pick so took Stanton and got stuck with Brian Dozier. Payouts are most combined home runs and also who wins it. Also doing a deal for $10 to try to be closest to the longest home run ball and I took 485. No way I would be watching this without gambling, lol.

Those distances suck.

Can't believe Puig had no one to pitch to him. Decent disadvantage.

Thought they always really advertised the projected distance and not the real distance.

It's his own fault.

Mike Gallego

5'5 former second baseman for those great A's teams in the late 80's/early 90's

Rickey Henderson wins the MVP and is due a new contract by Oakland..... A's comeback with a very low and disrespectful offer and Rickey in his Rickey voice says "if they gonna pay me like Mike Gallego, I'm gonna play like Mike Gallego".....golden Rickey and slamming his own teammate

For as cocky or whatever you wanna call Puig, he seems like a really good guy. Always has a smile on his face.

I don't think anyone like to play baseball more than him.

MLB Network was doing all-star stuff all afternoon and they were saying how he meets weekly with manager Don Mattingly and recently he asked Mattingly what he needs to do to get the respect of Derek Jeter.

He seems to be having a blast with Alfredo Simon and rooting on Frazier.....he can come play LF for Cincy if he wants.

Frazier hit his type of HR that round....he has a good chance vs Stanton because Stanton will have a long layoff.
