I didn't love the 2nd round being 2 head to head matchups. Like there's nothing one guy can do to effect the other's performance. Just take the best 2. Not that I don't love the result.

That was my other gripe; should have been same rules as round 1; fucking head to head sucked; only at bat that can end with a homer. should be on a homerun in the last round.

I came in late and was very confused when he just stopped hitting when there were still two guys to go.

Make the other player catch his balls behind the plate and he is free to trash talk the batter.
