Title says it all.

Too bad the All-Star game is on Fox :(

So during the pregame do we get to see the guys use their steroids? Can't we get a camera angle for that?

The Majors' biggest bats will be out and swinging at Minute Maid Park tonight at 8 p.m. ET


Barry Bonds, Giants
Rafael Palmeiro, Orioles
Sammy Sosa, Cubs
Miguel Tejada, Orioles
Jim Thome, Phillies
David Ortiz, Red Sox
Lance Berkman, Astros
Hank Blalock, Rangers


Mr. C
P.S> ILL miss seeing Giambi, Must still be out "sick"?

ch 301 . ESPNHD


lol

Why in a home run derby do we have to have entertainers performing and now the SD highlights. Damn ESPN couldn't you get some damn HD highlights even of your own! I understand the olde ones but there are some current ones. The HD looks very questionable. There are a mix of SD & HD cameras.

SD camera from top. The cameras showing the fans have been all SD. Either the lighting is bad in this stadium or something is wrong with those HD cameras but it does not look good at all.

I agree I was not impressed at all!!

PQ is dissapointing for HD.

IM glad im not the only one that thinks the PQ stinks for this. This is bad even for ESPNHD. Fortunately I love the HR derby.

Read on avs that the All Star game will be in HD but it remains to be seen who is going to carry it;

Huh???-PQ looks good ova here!!!-Keep it up ESPN!!

Tejada needs to take it easy. He is cursing in Spanish and does not understand that he has a microphone near him. Morgan translated it very politely what he said.

It has gotten better. In the beginning the combination of those SD cameras plus the smoke in the air was not helping. Plus Berman had a bunch of lights in the background that were making the picture real bad. I still agree with Vurbano. My local WB can do HD baseball better than ESPN. But it is ok for an ESPN game.

Jim Thome's at bat looks a little better.

Don't sweat it-Just sit back and enjoy the "bombs".

someone hid sammys corked bat.

he didnt take his "Vitamins" Is IT me or are they hitting less HR on average in this derby compared to last years?

It's kind of weak this year. Maybe they should have taken their "vitamin S" for the Home Run Derby :)

It is amazing that ESPN can do the celebrity game in HD but baseball tonight cannot be transmitted from the same ballpark in HD. I know this is taped but still... Time to go to sleep...

I think we have to wonder if the problem might be that Voom is pushing ESPN-HD in 1080i. I don't know how exactly Voom does it, but many TVs and scalers take 720p down to 540p or 480p, then back up to 1080i. How'd it look on dish or Directv?

Yea he was kinda hot!! Morgan was really cool with that translation!!

How'd it look on dish or Directv?no thats not it, I have a 1080i monitor so if voom doesnt do it then my set will anyway. I think it was inferior cameras, poor focus, smoke and lighting, giving it an SD blurr affect. I see the same kind of problem on Rush sometimes.

I was noticing the same thing about the pq. It was VERY soft. I know some of the cameras were SD but even the HD cameras seemed to be very soft. There were one or two cameras whihc looked good but overall it was bad.
