With three signature Schwarbombs in the first-ever home run swing-off tiebreaker, Kyle Schwarber helped the National League to an All-Star Game victory 🏆

That’s a confusing way of saying they tied.

I can’t recall the last time I watched an entire all-star game (in any sport), but I watched all of last night. I liked most of the in-game mic’d up action, and the AL getting off the mat made it interesting. Loved the derby finish. Good job #mlb

The “MVP” went 0 for 3 against actual all star pitchers trying to get him out. Not batting practice. (And Pete could have hit 3 batting practice pitches out had he gotten the opportunity- hit far more as HR derby contestant.)

I think the guy who hit an actual 3 run hr probably had more to do with it

Idk why NPC fans insist we must see the players in the same jerseys they already wear 162 games a year as opposed to the special ASG jerseys they’ve had in previous years which are cooler and less confusing to look at.

Regular season extra innings should be changed to swing off

Awful way to break a tie. That’s like a tie in an NBA game being decided by half court shots from 2 players.

If you're going to decide it with a home run derby, why even play the game?

What an awful way to decide the outcome to an All-Star game? It sure looked liked hardly No-Stars at the very end! This “get out of town approach” no matter what, detracts from what the great game of baseball use to be all about! Fans weren’t fooled the tv announcers pathetic hype!

An All-Star Game that was once comfortably in the hands of the National League ended Tuesday night when the NL won, four homers to three, in the first tie-breaking home run swing-off in the history of the Midsummer Classic. More from the game ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/649...

The game was never comfortably in the hands of the NL. It’s an all-star game FFS.

Baseball as soccer. Invent a different game to end the actual game. Sheesh.

It’s an exhibition game. Some people need to chill. The players clearly had fun which is what it’s about. I wouldn’t want a real game to be decided by this, but this was fine. Not even sure how many pitchers the teams had left to use.
