00:00you know acuna drops out now it's matt olson uh you know byron buxton who's a buddy of mine he's

00:06been on sports grid many times i love him i hope he wins i'm probably rooting for him to win this

00:11thing but this is this isn't must tune in tv the only the good thing that baseball has going forward

00:18nothing else is going on on monday but do you feel that way too that this this is a strange year for

00:23the derby or no i think we're seeing this more and more players don't want to do this you said

00:29early in the show all the players dropping out of the all-star game no one i mean come on jazz

00:33chisholm had to say in uh to the new york media ah listen i wouldn't mind being in the derby and

00:37then look at the players right everyone is saying no uh judge has said he'll only do it uh next time

00:43the all-star game comes the yankee stadium all right uh stanton does you know doesn't even make

00:47the all-star team but i think they should oh and they sort of did open it up right o'neal cruz i don't

00:51believe made the all-star team but he's in the derby i want to see home runs hit 500 feet right i

00:56don't care who they take you know i just i want to see a ball just knocked out over the chop house

01:00and uh you know with the savannah georgia that's really what i want to see here so i don't care

01:04who does it but yeah we don't have too many sexy names alonzo said he wants to prepare for the second

01:09half and stuff like that and i get it man swinging that bat what as hard as you can 100 times in 15

01:16minutes yeah it's gonna be a little tiring you know maybe it does change your swing a little bit

01:20whatever it might be here but yeah it's a little underwhelming it is i think that's fair to say

01:24yeah i mean next year it's in philadelphia bryce harper is going to be in the home run derby you

01:28could just bank it bank on that next year like that's like a big great name that people will

01:33tune into um i i mean i'm gonna go my pick is is gonna be junior caminero that's who i'm gonna pick

01:40to win because he's been the hottest that's it i mean it's simple as that when i'm looking for a

01:45derby champ it's who's going into monday looking the best and so that's gonna be my pick now

01:52uh i am going to root for byron buxton because he's been good to me through the years and he's

01:57come on all my shows and done everything that i've ever asked him to do so i think he will be

02:01interesting the other thing you know i've heard this narrative too george you tell me if you if

02:06you like this narrative that james wood has had the most time to prepare for the home run derby he was

02:11the first one in so he actually had bps and has tried to like emulate being in the derby and some

02:19people feel like he is the best choice at plus 480 because he's had the most time and i can't find

02:24anybody picking jazz to win this no uh i don't think i don't think jazz i think listen i don't think jazz

02:31has the uh the brute strength to do it over and over and over again around he can be dangerous but i think

02:36he'll tire out as well uh once again you and i are agreeing way too much on the show uh anybody once

02:41again uh cam stewart and i have been talking about this uh coming for gabe on rage last couple of

02:45nights we're both on cam and arrow all right we both like junior cam and arrow to uh to go for this

02:50he's i think he's got that body built for we can maintain that strength throughout here and we both

02:54have james wood for second all right then we kind of looker as our uh another guy there is a lower

03:00lower edge guy here but uh and those odds have changed by the way uh rooker and cam and i were reversed it

03:05was cam and arrow plus 10 and uh rooker plus 1200 uh last night so they've changed overnight for

03:11whatever reason here as people start to like looker more and more here uh but cam and i was my guy here

03:16now the game is going to take us he's that lower end guy you know oh oh yeah yeah the the second year

03:21play with tampa bay yeah yeah good hitter so i think he's uh i think he's a nice little uh sleeper choice

03:26play with tampa bay yeah yeah good hitter so i think hello is it good hitter so i love you good hitter so i think

03:32i'm not sure yes good hitter so i think it's gonna work out of eight because i think i let me get the
