I wonder if Yeli plays Tuesday. So far he's still in. And now my Monday night is free.

I'll be skipping the derby but I'll tune in tomorrow night.

Joc got away with going before the ball has landed a few times. I'm not mad.

This is fun. But I have a feeling the finals will not be.

Alonso hitting half as many dingers as Vladdy Jr and still winning the Derby sucks, IMO. That format is wack. Should have been Joc and Vladdy in the final.

I like the format but they should definitely tweak it when one player hits more dingers than another but sits the rest of the night. Maybe still do h2h but total HRs also matter. Everything post Joc/Vladdy Jr was a letdown.
