Before I state it, I'd like to say that his participation is the reason why this will be the first Home Run Derby I've had any interest in watching since I was a kid.

But I'm gonna go ahead and predict that Freddie Freeman gets shutout tonight.

I honestly can't think of a worse candidate for the home run derby.

I've watched Freddie Freeman take batting practice 100 times and I've never seen him hit a homer in batting practice. Dansby Swanson has never seen Freddie Freeman hit a batting practice homer. Freddie Freeman himself has said it has been 3 years since he's hit a batting practice homer.

Freddie Freeman is working on his swing to left-center every time he take batting practice, which is probably why he's so good against the shift.

Really if Freddie has a good showing tonight, I'm gonna have concerns about his swing coming back from the break.

Nationals Park is such a forgettable "meh" stadium.

It is not a dump, but there is just nothing whatsoever noteworthy or memorable about it.

That backdrop of cranes and half-finished buildings makes it look even worse for this HR derby.

Agreed. It is a boring park.

What a crock of shit this HR Derby is. Harper gets to go last in every round so he knows exactly what he needs to do. Its bullshit.

I'm going to say it: I miss Chris Berman calling the HR derby.
