Freddie Freeman may have been eliminated by Harper in the first round, but his teammate Brandon McCarthy argued the regular Derby format wasn't best for the slugger:

Cardinals reliever Jordan Hicks suggested a new type of competition that he himself would likely thrive in:

Trevor Williams appeared more than ready for the Pirates' second half to begin:
