it’s amazing the cardinals are ever any good with all the good minor league players they ship off.

Man there doesn’t seem to be any buzz about this.

Was scrolling the guide on the tv and saw it was the home run derby and thought oh damn.. didn’t realize that was tonight

They need to ditch ESPN. Their baseball coverage has been terrible for at least a decade it seems.

Watching them take a million pitches took the fun out of it for me. Also made it last forever

Definitely miss the days where you just had 10 outs and guys were able to take their time and just hit absolute piss missiles.

You can’t even follow the balls in this ridiculous format

I like the 10 outs per round better.

I don't like the timed rounds. Its just take as many hacks as possible before the clock runs out. ESPN can't even go full screen with the home runs because they're swinging at the next ball before the previous ball lands.


Remember when you used to be able to gawk over an absurd bomb? A player on the side would come over and hype the hitter up. You can't enjoy a big bomb because the next ball is already in the air. Untimed 10 outs was great
