July 14, 201510 yr Author I also liked the fast paced format. Reminds me of the 3 point shoot out a bit.

July 14, 201510 yr 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

July 14, 201510 yr 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. Edited July 14, 201510 yr by Buehrle>Wood
July 14, 201510 yr 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.
July 14, 201510 yr 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, 201510 yr by chw42
July 14, 201510 yr Bob Nightengale @BNightengale 23m23 minutes ago This will be the first #ASG in baseball history that there isn't a single #Yankees player or #RedSox player in the starting lineup. #USATMLB

July 15, 201510 yr Best parts were Trout lead off hr and then Chapmans amazing performance, hitting 103 multiple times. Not a lot in between those.

July 15, 201510 yr Mike Trout's first at bat in each all star game: 2012: single 2013: double 2014: triple 2015: home run
