Not gonna mention Smash Mouth... Not gonna mention Smash Mouth...

The Home Run Derby last night saw Todd Frazier put on a show in front of his hometown fans, edging out Dodgers phenom Joc (short for "Joc") Pederson in the final round. Tonight the main event will feature Astros lefty Dallas Keuchel pitching against Zack Greinke, whose current 1.33 ERA seems like a typo.

From a Blue Jays standpoint, Josh Donaldson will be starting at third base and batting second, so he figures to get at least two at-bats. Russ Martin is on the bench for the AL and could appear later in the game, unless an injury keeps him out (he has been noticeably limping the past while).

Anyway, have at it everyone! What did you guys think of the Home Run Derby last night? Did the new format inject some life into it?
