I think I liked the old format more. Have everyone going ham in the first round and then taking the top half to the second round and so on.

haha Rutschman decides to hit right-handed and hits a homerun on every single pitch.

Now that’s cool as shit

Mookie with a respectable showing.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Holy Julio Rodriguez.

Alonso had an uphill climb to begin with and then Myers basically threw him slider after slider, lol.

Vladdy winning this derby after all the talk about his lack of power this season is quite ironic.

@ ESPN for the graphic saying he is Cuban born.

Vlad Jr vs Mookie in a HRD was like Klay vs Tatum in a 3 pt contest.

Pure power vs great hitter who happens to have good power = pure shooter vs great scorer whi happens to be good at shooting 3s.

To me, the derby is going stale. Why it so entertaining watching a guy take a swing after swing in rapid fire action? You don’t even get to appreciate the dingers. The next pitch is lobbed before the last one even had a chance to leave the park. I don’t know how you do it, but to me this rapid fire quick shit doesn’t work.

Jay Buhner looks like Goldberg

[John Price]

Nice catch.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Another great catch by the other former Cards farmhand.

''Come to Seattle''

It's too bad that ball by Gurriel was foul because he hit it a ton

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Really surprised how dead this thread has been.

 

[GKJ]

Elias Diaz hits a 2 run shot to give the NL the lead in the 8th.

 

[GKJ]

Hell of a play on defense there

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Phils can't be thrilled to see Kimbrel throw a bunch of pitches here.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

But he escapes and the NL is off the schneid! First win since 2012.

Don’t play until Friday so it’s probably fine. They didn’t show anyone in the bullpen but I can’t imagine he would’ve seen another batter.

 

[JWK]

Sure the Nuggets and Avs win championships but can they say their players win the MVP in the All-Star game?

Don't think so
