Brian Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 I also liked the fast paced format. Reminds me of the 3 point shoot out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Best home run derby ever last night. That was a blast to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 10:38 PM) I thought they were showing replays during Frazier's at bats. They'd show a HR nearly landing and then he'd launch another. It was awesome. He was the only one that did it the right way. He had his brother rapid fire pitches, just keep swinging. Prince would have won if he didnt admire his bombs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah some were better than others at it. Pujols was especially slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) He was. There was a ump dictating it Edit: i went back and checked his hightlite hrs. All of them were when the umps arm was down. He was finelected unless there was a hometown conspiracy.

Chisoxfn Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I echo everyone's sentiments. That was the best homerun derby in a long time, if not ever. The addition of the clock made it more dramatic and the whole thing was exciting with the head to head, etc. Fantastic job by baseball taking a stale event and making it extremely exciting. It was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I liked the clock but I think it's obvious the clock gives the guy up 2nd a huge, huge advantage. Something has to change about that, I think the guy going first won once. My immediate suggestion: I liked 4 minutes, move the bonus time until after the 2nd guy has swung.

It's a disadvantage for the first guy since he has to hit after sitting out for 4 minutes. But at the same time, he's at a huge disadvantage for not knowing how many he has to hit. I propose this: 1st guy's 5 minutes 2nd guy's 5 minutes If tied or bonus time criteria is met: 2nd guy's bonus time 1st guy's bonus time Edited July 14, 2015 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Best parts were Trout lead off hr and then Chapmans amazing performance, hitting 103 multiple times. Not a lot in between those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
