I mean he was down 18-8 or something and rattled off 10 homers in a row on consecutive swings with the time running out. I think the new format is way better because of the timed element. You can't just take your time knowing you have potentially infinite swings as long as you don't miss. It certainly added to the drama of what Harper did in the final.

It certainly added to the drama of what Harper did in the final. The new format is infinitely better. It at minimum doubles the amount of home runs hit. Everyone hits at least a dozen. With the 10 outs format you'd have guys getting skunked or hitting 1 or 2. Way more entertaining this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternate bonus: since it's timed, we no longer run the risk of the TV broadcast going into the wee hours of the night just because Josh Hamilton decides to hit 30 in one round. I'm old and need my sleeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he almost hit one out of the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point I didn't give a #### who won I just wanted it to end. Just now, WildCard said: And he didn't even win it Right. His next round was pretty poor IRC.

Hoss Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 The Nats have been trash this season (to the point where I think they should be entertaining offers for Harper) but I’m not too worried going forward. My only real worry is Rizzo. He’s a terrible GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to cost so freaking much, and everyone knows he's just going to go play for the Cubs next year anyways.

They're only six games out, as of yesterday morning. Deadline is in nine hours, though, so maybe no one makes the right deal in time.

In his case it’d cost a lot but he also increases your chances of winning a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think Cleveland will either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
