I said it. People want to get rid of the home run derby some strange reason the home run derby, what makes this week. Fun. Really does. Yeah. Absolutely. I got to stop talking to you guys now. The nationals, they have one of the best not all of us. The nationals have one of the best teams in Major League Baseball.

The thing is he is still growing, he is still learning the game and thats what makes him exciting to watch because he is going to continue to get better. Another young player continuing to get better, orioles Manny Machado taking part in tonights home run derby, saturday career while 19 homers this season, Third Straight year an or yell has been in the derby, 23yearold hoping to become the first or yell to win it against Miguel Tejada did it since 2004. Cal ripken jr. Won the home run derby. The advice for machado is pretty simple. Hit more home runs than the other guys, with the new format a little interesting to see how it plays out, just enjoy it. I think any time you get an opportunity to do Something Like that, go out there and have fun make sure you bring a good pair of batting gloves. Thats long five minutes. Something to watch but excited to see jock and rizzo and everybody in the national league. Im just going to go out there and put some good swings out there and put on a show, but just mainly try to get my swing and try to hit the ball hard somewhere and if they go out they go out. If they dont, i guess im going to be the one with no homers there. Just go out there and mostly just going out there, having fun. The home run derby starts at 8 p. M. Tonight.
