Ryan Howard got under one but the breeze carried it out for his 7th homer of the night.
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
Joe Mauer and then Prince Albert...

What a classy interview by Roy Halladay. A great answer to the trade question.
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
Yep. Halladay handled that beautifully and it didn't come off as phony either.
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
C'mon Mauer, hit a couple more.
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
Mauer hits 5. Longest hit was 458'. Pretty impressive for a guy who doesn't hit too many home runs.
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
Mauer is a great natural, all around hitter, just not quite the total power hitter for the derby. He and Pena are at five and they are tied for 4th. Now Prince Albert has his turn...
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
How many will Albert hit in round 1? I am guessing he'll strategically hit 14 and save some for the next two rounds.

Definitely. Mauer had a few really nice ones and had a respectable outing, especially compared to some others tonight.

Pujols is swinging late and coming up short on several of his swings. Only one so far for Pujols.
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
Pujols crushes one for his second of the night. He needs four more to advance, three to tie.
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
Pujols, on the gold all, hits his 4th....
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
A batoff between Pujols, Pena and Mauer now to determine the 4th player to advance to round 2.
Re: '09 Homerun Derby Thread / Discuss tonight's derby tonight on our Tweet Board!
Mauer stayed with his usual swing. I don't think he'll have a problem losing his swing the way some people have following this event.

Agreed.
