BS, he's an amazingly strong and patient hitter, I've seen him as a Phillie for so many games and this doesn't surprise me THAT much.. he's extremely capable.

 

[jabamayne]

The real pressure is going to be on Ortiz...

Well, if he is that good, he gets my recommendation for a pay raise in his contract...

He's the highest paid Phillie and their 4th in overall team salary, but he's just never good in the clutch.. and I do mean never.

I can never get into the HR derby. It's got nothing to do with baseball, it's batting practice.

I bet you dont like the slam dunk contest or the quarterback challenges either.

As big of a baseball fan as I am, unless a home run goes over a certain # of feet, it's just another home run. A dunking contest has creativity and is just a lot more outrageous. The 500+ foot home run by Abreu was definitely awe-inspiring and amazing, but there's no doubt the home run competition gets boring after awhile.

Its also far, far more interesting to watch than an actual game of baseball.

i wonder how many guys have hit 24 HRs in that amount of time with a pitcher during batting practice.
