Trey Mancini not being an all-star is a fucking joke

Mets fans trying to defend this title irks me a little
• Joc hit more than Alonso did in one less round
• Vlad Jr has a 30HR lead over second place for most in a single tournament
Pete only won due to arbitrary bracketing. He was 6/8 in the first round, and 3/4 in the 2nd round.
If the rules were just Top 4 and then Top 2 advance, Alonso wouldnt have even made it out of the 1st

The only point where you're off is that the bracketing isn't arbitrary, at least to my knowledge. I'm pretty sure they're sorted by home runs hit. Yelich was replaced by Chapman, and they didn't re-seed after that, but Vlad Jr. would've been the #8 seed regardless because of his home run total. It really doesn't matter that Pete Alonso won. People will remember this home run derby because of Vlad Jr. Who actually won it will be a random trivia point.bosoxlover12 said:

Yeah, that's fair. I think we can all agree that the new format has been a breath of fresh air for an event that was surely dying. I don't love the head-to-head potentially screwing over the guy who hits the second most homers in a round, but I'd rather have it this way than not have it at all. I'd imagine the MLB will at least field questions about changing the format based on this result though.
If anything, we're lucky as viewers that Vlad Jr. didn't win, because so many players win it once and then don't do it again these days. Vlad Jr. has to come back now.

Yankees are gonna need a lot to break right for them to even make it to the WS...Cashman not getting a starter by the deadline was wild but then you throw in Houston getting Greinke fuck
Already assuming Sevy isnt going to be available as a starter...if German cant be either and we have to go Happ game 3 with an opener kind of thing game 4 forget it.
This team has had such a special season when you consider all the injuries its like they think theyre playing with house money at this point..

Don't look now but the Mets are on a roll and only 2.5 back in the wild card.

Pete has been a godsend for them, on and off the field. Him alone brings so much more excitement

The Orioles not being the worst team in the league has been a pleasant surprise, so I thank you for that.

He really has. It's a shame he's been slumping but I think he's gonna turn it around, and he seems to have lit a fire for the whole team.
I do think it's weird he's not really being talked about much considering the kind of year he is having.

On a national scale you’re saying? Because I feel like in NY he still gets talked about plenty.
Probably just the nature of how the years gone until recently for the Mets, his struggles after the ASB, and the fact that the NL has a bunch of great stories like Yelich and Belly battling all year for MVP.
A lot of good rookies in the NL this year too, highlighted by Tatis of course who seems to get most of the national spotlight. Soroka is another one that doesn’t seem to get talked about a lot even though he’s had a crazy year on a good Atlanta team.
