Was Kyle Schwarber robbed of a home run in last night’s Home Run Derby?
For those watching the Phils’ right fielder in his opening round, sudden-death playoff against Cardinals legend Albert Pujols, it certainly appeared as if there may have been a counting error that robbed Schwarber of a crucial dinger.
Upon first viewing, it sure does look like one of Schwarber’s home runs did not get counted during that final 40-second flurry, denying him a homer that would have left him tied 20-20 with Pujols, but pitches and swings and fly balls and home runs were coming so fast and furious during the last half-minute that it was almost impossible to keep track.
