July 13, 201510 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 07:13 AM) HR Derby tonight. They are timing the rounds now? Yes apparently head to head tournament style. Timed rounds, so swings that don't go out are not counted as outs.
July 13, 201510 yr Q: If a ball is in the air, does a batter have to wait til it lands before taking another swing? Because otherwise timed penalizes you for actually hitting a long HR.
July 13, 201510 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 10:46 AM) Have the SPs been announced yet? Keuchel and Greinke
July 13, 201510 yr This whole timed homerun derby thing is about the most ridiculous idea MLB has come up with in awhile.

Because otherwise timed penalizes you for actually hitting a long HR. It's possible that MLB didn't fully think through an element of the All-Star event. o_o

July 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 07:50 PM) Crazy round. I begrudgingly admit these new rules are amazing. I'm enjoying it because Prince watched all his shots whereas Frazier just decided to go nuts.
July 14, 201510 yr Pujols hasn't won yet, but I think Bryant's dad cost him. He threw it all over the place
July 14, 201510 yr Highlight for me so far has been that David Ortiz hasn't somehow found a camera to get in front of.
July 14, 201510 yr This new HR derby format is pretty awesome. However, I feel like both hitters should only do the bonus 30 seconds if they are tied.

Big fan of the new format, just confused by the bonus time. Loved Frazier's approach. Don't watch. Just keep hitting.

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.
