Did Bryce Harper cheat in Home Run Derby?
The controversy: Bryce Harper, in defeating Kyle Schwarber in the Home Run Derby last night, didn’t follow the rules. Or else his dad, who was pitching to him didn’t. The rule in question is that the pitcher has to wait for the last hit ball to land before delivering the next one. Given that the Derby is a timed event, such a thing matters, of course, because the faster you get pitches the faster you can hit them out of the park. At least if you don’t get too tired first.
Harper’s dad was a bit quick with the final three pitches in the final round, allowing Harper to get to 18, tying Kyle Schwarber before winning it outright with his 30 seconds bonus time. Watch as Harper waves for his dad to deliver the pitch while the last ball is still flying:
So r we just ignoring the fact the Bryce Harper & his dad cheated & did not follow the rules of the #HomeRunDerby ? The previous hit ball must hit the ground before the next ball can be thrown to the batter. Harper needs 4 Home Runs taken away, video evidence. #Justice4Schwarber pic.twitter.com/u0B5FPAlfV

The derby was better than I expected it to be, I'm also glad Judge & Stanton sat it out.
As for the game, hopefully Sevy gets one clean inning in.

Unfortunately, if you are Bryce Harper the rules probably don't matter all that much. After all, he did it for the fans, right???  |

Why do a bunch of players have their phones out when they were introduced? Put the phones away. Come on.

This video of Olney getting denied a handshake/interview like 6 times in 12 seconds is pretty funny. The way it freezes with him looking back at the camera is priceless though.
*Whoops posted the wrong tweet initially

Maybe I'm simple, but I've watched it like 6+ times now and laugh every single time.

I know Kay is annoying a lot of the times, but these national broadcasts just irritate me.

Looks like the UPS delivery guy in my neighborhood. Dude,you been eating too much rice and beans with the Kraken!! |
