A look at what’s happening around the majors today
OUTH BEACH STANTONGiancarlo Stanton returns to Marlins Park for the first time since Miami traded him to the New York Yankees in December. Stanton spent his first eight years with the Marlins and was the NL MVP last season when he hit 59 home runs.Stanton went 0 for 7 with four strikeouts in mid-April when the Marlins visited Yankee Stadium. The slugger has 32 homers this year and 299 in his career going into this two-game series.“It’s going to be weird for sure walking in Aaron Loup Jersey , going to the visitors’ side,” Stanton said. “But I am looking forward to it. It’s a big part of my life, my time down there. It will be a cool experience.”MISSED YOUStar second baseman Jose Altuve is set to come off the disabled list and rejoin the Astros. Houston wobbled minus the reigning AL MVP, whose knee trouble put him on the DL for the first time in his career. The World Series champs lost 13 of the next 20 games after Altuve was sidelined July 25. He has led the AL in hits for four straight years and is batting .329 this season. Altuve is ready to be in the lineup at Seattle.FROM WAY BACKBlue Jays rookie catcher Danny Jansen is being reunited this week with his “big bro” Adam Jones as Toronto hosts Baltimore. When Jones was a minor leaguer with Class A Wisconsin in 2004, the then-18-year-old lived with Jansen’s family. Jansen was 9 years old at the time but has since embarked on his own pro career, making his major league debut last week. Jones tweeted Monday recalling Jansen “waking me up at 7am before you had to go to school” and the two of them playing video games.“This is a Movie,” Jones added.HEATING UPHighly touted White Sox prospect Michael Kopech makes his major league debut when he throws his 100 mph fastball at home against the Twins. The 22-year-old righty was 7-7 with a 3.70 ERA at Triple-A, striking out 170 in 126 1/3 innings. Kopech was traded from Boston to Chicago after the 2016 season in the deal for ace Chris Sale.CAREFULThe White Sox will see how manager Rick Renteria is doing a day after he was taken to a hospital because of lightheadedness. The 56-year-old Renteria was at Target Field when the issue arose before the game against the Twins on Monday. A team official said tests didn’t show any problems. Renteria remained in the hospital overnight.Bench coach Joe McEwing took over as manager for the one-game makeup in Minnesota. The teams now play twice in Chicago. While he may be doing poorly in the batting average column during this regular season, Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper blew away the competition in exciting fashion to win the 2018Home Run Derby hitting a total of 45 home runs.While he may have only won by one home run in each round, he still managed to pull off an improbable victory.With just around 1:30 left in the final round, Harper was down 18-9, but he stormed back and seemed to just knock home run after home run if the ball was anywhere near the zone.To make it even better, the pitches came from his dad.Below, we'll recap each round with the home run totals and comment on some takeaways from the event. 2018 Home Run Derby ResultsFirst RoundNo. 2 Bryce Harper 13 Matt Adams Jersey , No. 7 Freddie Freeman, 12No. 3 Max Muncy 17, No. 6 Javier Baez, 16No. 8 Rhys Hoskins 17, No. 1Jesus Aguilar, 12No. 5 Kyle Schwarber 16, No. 4 Alex Bregman, 15 SemifinalsNo. 2 Bryce Harper 13, No. 3 Max Muncy, 12No. 5 Kyle Schwarber 21, No. 8 Rhys Hoskins, 20FinalsNo. 2 Bryce Harper 19, No. 5 Kyle Schwarber, 18Format Takeaways1. Timed Rounds Are BestFor so long Kevin Long Jersey , we had the "10-out" format. While it allowed us to see some wild home run totals, the event would drag on to the point where viewers would just tune out.Now, with the timed rounds, it adds intrigue, and we saw that firsthand as Harper hit his 18th home run in the final round with just seconds left.The event still went around 2.5 hours, but it felt shorter than that due to the timer.It almost makes you wonder what baseball would be like if instead of innings we had a time clock.No, I'm joking. Don't hurt me.The rounds have a timeout, which will help competitors preserve some energy.2. Seedings Need to Be ReworkedThe seeding system is a bit broken, though it might be tough to figure out.For example, Rhys Hoskins is an incredible power hitter, but due to injury, he was the No. 8 seed and dominated the No. 1 seed, Jesus Aguilar.Instead, maybe they should do the seedings based on an average length of home runs. While that may be an inexact science with different home run totals http://www.nationalsfanproshop.com/authentic-matt-adams-jersey , it would at least give some insight into the competitor's overall power.Either way, whatever MLB decides, total home runs is not a good determiner. We also saw No. 1 seed Giancarlo Stanton lose last year in the opening round.What do you think would be a better idea? 3. This Was a Fun GroupYeah, the header says it all. This was just a fun cast of guys to compete in this.Sure, having New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge back in it to defend his title would have been fun, but there was no clear-cut winner from this one, though Harper was in front of his home audience.All eight guys had a legitimate shot at winning鈥攎y favorite was Muncy.Even down to the final round, we had Schwarber vs. Harper, who put on an entertaining round, capped off by a Harper walk-off with his extra time.The 2019 Home Run Derby has a lot to live up to, that's for sure!
