Home Run Derby to introduce new format

Why would you do that and wear yourself out? The clock remains stopped until you don't hit another HR.

 

My issue with my previous comment was with the clock running after a non-HR.

It only stops the last minute of your five minutes.

 

And I've never played baseball, so didn't know how tired you'd get from it.

I think last year 6 of the 8 were righties

[nkufan23]

Teixeira, Pederson, Valbuena, and Harper are the only lefties in the top 12 in HRs, so yeah, there aren't many options.

 

Pederson and Harper get me excited, I want to see the young stars of baseball

Mashing HR's. Joey Gallo is another one I'd love to see from the left side regardless of what his numbers look like.

Anyone know if Chris Berman is still doing it? BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK GONE! The worst.

I'm sure he will but maybe with less time in between swings he will have to shut up. I just hope ESPN uses a few more cameras than they usually do because normally it looks like they use two.

 

I will say the new rules make it interesting. Better bring some young stud as your pitcher and not your Dad. Frazier is bringing his brother who has been practicing and normally throws BP to Frazier in the off-season.

I'd love it if they brought Griffey and Dunn out of retirement to compete haha! Think they could hang if they knew a few weeks going in that they'd be involved?

The bracket is out and Frazier will be against 2 time champ Prince Fielder in round 1.
