Southpaw19

In theory, I like the idea of a draft, however we would end up with more teams that cannot compete. First and second half winners would work, if we were giving out prizes like the old days. Expanding the rosters might work... I'll have to think on that one.

I do have a life, and yes it gets busy at times, but I still enjoy running the NSBB HR Derby every season. Maybe one of these years I'll finish in the Top 5. That being said, as we approach the 13th (documented) season of Home Run Derby... I'd like to ask everyone what they'd like to see changed / added / updated / removed /etc. to brainstorm some good ideas. I will then see what makes sense, and implement as needed.

I would have to go back and check those 3 years I mentioned.

We had the closest finish in 12 documented seasons of the NSBB HR Derby! In 2007, 2012, and 2015, the difference was two... this season... JUST ONE HR WAS THE DIFFERENCE! That Home Run ? Nolan Arenado ... in the 9th inning ... of a tie-breaker game #163! Congrats to REPEAT CHAMPION: Duke Silver FINAL 2018 HR DERBY SCOREBOARD ========================================= 1.

Sorry about the Holiday delay. I'm working on updating through yesterday's games, and will post later this afternoon.

I've never 100% been into the "second favorite team", but that being said, I'm digging the "Baby Braves" thing. Just not tonight. kthxbye :hello:

That lineup is ... something. Should be interesting.

[-X Yeah... which is why I'm hoping he stays off the DL.

That was such a bush league move by Miami/Urena. I really hoped Acuna would have stayed in the game and hit 3 bombs off Miami, but he exited the game after the 2nd inning. :(

Aaaaaaaaaand just like that, Acuña might be headed to the DL again. Stupid, jealous Marlins.

I really don't understand how the Brewers are in contention. I don't get it.

Ronald Acuña has homered in 5 straight games, 7 of the last 8, and led off the last three games with a HR. This phenomenon is also dubbed "How Southpaw19 Came Back to Win HR Derby". \:D/

Done and done. This is your second transaction of the second half. You have zero remaining.
