The 2018 Home Run Derby takes place this afternoon, as part of MLB’s All-Star festivities. There are no Oakland A’s in the running this year even though they stand sixth in the sport in dingers, and in fact there’s only one player from the American League at all (Alex Bregman). However, if you need a rooting interest then look no further than former A’s washout Max Muncy, who is hitting like an MVP this year for the Dodgers because baseball exists to mock us.
Honestly, this year’s Derby field is about as underwhelming as any I’ve ever seen.
