Sport Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 That was the best things that's happened for the Reds in 3 years and now I'm sad. So cool seeing my hometown light up like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I loved the new format by the way. That one simple change made such a huge difference and injected life into an event that was basically dead. No more taking pitches, no more endless rounds that felt like they lasted forever, less Berman, required a little bit of strategy from the hitters, and knowing when something is going to end makes it so much easier to stay up and watch. There's no way they can ever go back to the old way now. The time limit idea was an absolute necessity with Great American Ballpark too. The old format in that stadium would've been a disaster. They'd still be swinging in the first round right now if it weren't for the rule changes. I wish I'd been there. That was one of the first times I've been seriously homesick since moving.

Dynasty Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm glad Frazier won it. I always root for the "hometown hero" because I think it brings more excitement to the respected city.By the way, I heard Andy Dalton got booed in the Celebrity All-Star Game. I didn't watch it, but I saw highlights of it on ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTopper Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Frazier winning the derby as the hometown hero is a nice story. I think the new format is a total success. It added a race-against-the-clock excitement and pace that the event desperately needed. I was glad to see Fielder bounce back with a commendable derby appearance after his injuries. I've always enjoyed watching him play ☦ICXC NIKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydnimrod Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 The Home Run Derby was one of the greatest sporting events I've witnessed in person (it would have been great if someone else had won, but Todd Frazier winning just added to it). I was in right field last night and it seemed like the home run balls hit formed a perimeter around our seats. WHAT A BLAST.Our seats are closer to the field tonight. Hoping to get some TV time.

CubsFanBudMan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I was there in 2003, and while it's better in person than on TV (ironically), the new rules added a level of excitement that wasn't there previously.Last-second shots in baseball?

Before last night, I had zero interest in the HR Derby. When I heard about the format change, my first thought was it was just a dumb idea trying to breathe life into something that had long outlived it's usefulness. Man, was I wrong. The HR Derby was entertaining as all hell last night.Does franchise four sound better than having a Mt. Rushmore?Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
