Anybody wanna discuss?
Really feels like the right move is to eliminate the pairs and just take the top 4 from the first round.
For real. Why isn’t that the case? We can end up with a champion who hit fewer homeruns.
2nd matchup - (8) Rutschman vs (1) Robert Jr.
Rutschman: 27 (21 LHB + 6 RHB)
Robert Jr.: 28
Bummed for my boy Adley. Mad respect tho for the switch hitting performance. He showed out.
Adley with the 3rd most and is eliminated, that’s the drawback of a bracket format.
I went both days and the only things people were talking about on day 2 were JRod’s 41 (of course, it’s Seattle) and Adley’s switch hitting performance. Winning doesn’t seem to matter as much as showmanship and wow-factor. For the HR Derby, I’m good with that.
Adley’s dad threw him several junk pitches. I wonder if he cost his son the round.
4th matchup - (7) Rodriguez vs (2) Alonso
Rodriguez: 41 🤯
Alonso: 21
Julio just went OFF
Vladdy Jr. wins
Bummed for my boy Julio, but Vladdy’s cool and I’m happy for him.
