If only MLB knew how to market their stars, and put some of them into this……….

And to think, some guy on the NBA board was rattled that the NBA is going all in to capitalize on Edwards popularity and making him the center piece of the Netflix player doc.

My exact point was how baseball and even hockey struggle big time to do what basketball does

Baseball has regional stars that only reach as much as the teams market their players, sadly. They have utterly failed to cash in previously on Mike Trout and Bryce Harper at their peak of ability/popularity, and a big part of Ohtani is the attention that he brings from overseas.

They could take some notes from how the NBA does things.

Witt advances. The only guy that made it out of my four semi-finalist choices.

Almost all of the pitchers the Derby guys had this year have sucked. Alonso's was probably the worst one.

Last thing this derby needed was a swing off

Proud of Bohmer. Punching over his weight and he competed.

I was rooting for him and he did better than I expected

But at same time, being proud of him in this derby is like applaud varsity football player for beating up a chubby 7th grader with down syndrome.

Hernandez is in the finals and that moron has left like 8 balls on the table in his 2 rounds due to not swinging enough.

Hernandez wins it. Got exciting there at the end, good finish. Too bad Ozuna didn’t do well.
