Reminded why I don't watch the HR derby. Player who hit the second most in the first round is eliminated because his H2H matchup was with the guy who hit the most. Guys who hit fewer move on because they had to manufacture a tournament format.

At least they'll actually play baseball in the AS game itself, which is more than the other sports.

While I agree with you overall I still love the HR derby. Amd what made it even better was my girls (10 and 8) both wanted to watch it with me and they were engaged the entire time. Made this old mans heart smile.

MLB teams were 314-0 this season when leading by 6 runs in the 8th inning. The Pirates - shitty, cheap ass, mutherfucking Pirates - ended that steak tonight.

The Mets led 6-0 going to the bottom of the 8th. The Pirates won 9-7 with a walk off grand slam with 2 outs in the 9th. :pirate:

Gotta love baseball, even when your team sucks.

Over 162 games all the weaknesses of a team will be exposed.

In the meantime, the individual game, or series, the baseball gods decide to even the numbers out in are often spectacular things to see.

One of the, uncountable, reasons baseball is the greatest game on earth.

Not only did the Pirates go on to the lose 7-6, yours truly started Walker in his roto league. He didn't even finish the first inning. :bonk:

It's not reviewable, but a look at the replay shows the plate umpire made the correct call.

Max Scherzer is the crown jewel of the trade deadline this month. He would be a very interesting addition for many teams. I wouldn't be surprised to see either SF or Toronto pull the trigger on this trade. Scherzer has a no trade clause so he basically gets to pick his next stop amongst a who's who of playoff contenders - although he is apparently dead set against both NY teams.
