Isn't the home run derby a free-for-all contest?

Quote:

Both Freeman and Puig paced a close race by finishing with more votes than the previous record-holder, Shane Victorino, who netted 15.6 million in 2009. Freeman's total of 19.7 million is the new all-time Final Vote record.

Delabar became the first Toronto player to win with 9.6 million votes.

ESPN is PISSED that Puig didn't make it, which is goofy since they aren't even airing the game.

sycro · 07-11-2013, 11:42 PM

I guess this describes both the Indians and the Blue Jays seasons...

Yes.... those NL guys are huge BP HR guys, which is exactly what the HR Derby is.

And Freeman is showing why he's on the All-Star team. 2-2, 2B, 3 RBIs in the 2nd.

Make that 3-3, 2B, 4 RBIs in the 4th

Matt Moore to replace Yu Darvish on the American League roster. Good, he deserves it and it makes up for those Longo and Loney snubs.

Hi-Def Steve · 07-12-2013, 07:04 AM

We're finally over 500...yeah!

And MLB just lost a fan for there ratings cause the coach said he wasn't putting Puig on the roster even as a replacement, bummer.

Yes, PETA is seriously against the Tampa Bay for having a tank where kids can touch and feed the rays because among other things, the "crowd noise is too high." They've obviously never been to Tropicana during a Rays game.

In one of the more bizarre stories in MLB this season, the Tampa Bay Rays are in hot water with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, more commonly known as PETA.

According to Rick Mayer of the Tampa Tribune, PETA is none too thrilled with the team's 10,000-gallon tank filled with 30 cownose rays.

The complaints have come in response to Miguel Cabrera becoming just the second player in history to blast a home run into the "touch tank" out in center field. The ball that hit the water is said to have put the rays in serious danger.

Fans wait in long lines to see the touch tank, which only allows 50 people at a time on game days (per Mayer).

What's more, the proceeds from fans purchasing ray food go the Florida Aquarium and the Tampa Bay Rays' charity organization.

It must have been a slow day for Winders and PETA's captive animals law enforcement team when they decided to attack the Rays. The worst things about the tank, according to PETA, are that balls are hit there, the crowds are loud and the rays are subject to harassment.

It's ridiculous that we have 4 guys going. We're under .500 and dead last. This ball club is, without question, this season's BIGGEST FAILURE.

Miggy has an RBI an a run scored even though he has no official AB, now that's what I call dominating!

Why? It's not like it's a difficult thing to accomplish.
