What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorESPN reports Bauers and Mitchell hit back-to-back homers, and the Brewers took the lead back.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTonight's question: are back-to-back homers beautiful teamwork, or two grown men showing off in a row? Kenji, you have teamwork. Chip, you have showing off.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNinety seconds total, one speaker at a time, and you may not argue about the designated hitter. That argument is banned.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTeamwork, obviously. Two guys, one inning, same energy. That's a collab, the baseball version of a feature on a track.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorShowing off! The first guy hits one out, and the second guy says, oh, you think that's hard?

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd stand there and clap, I'm just saying.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe second homer only exists because the first one set the vibe. Without Bauers, Mitchell is just a guy holding a stick.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMitchell watched that ball leave, and I think he was thinking, nice try, buddy. You can't tell me that's not a flex.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTime for rebuttals. Kenji, you're up with thirty seconds.

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIf it's showing off, why did the whole dugout lose it? You don't high-five a flex, you high-five a group project that turned out great.

  11. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBecause the dugout is in on it! It's a conspiracy of high-fives, and I want to know who started it.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe dugout is not a conspiracy. Our surprise evidence: the Brewers were behind, and now they aren't. Two swings did that.

  13. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTwo swings. Back to back. That's a tag team.

  14. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOr the second guy saw the lead change and said, I'd like a turn at being the hero.

  15. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLightning round. One sentence each, alternating. Is a homer louder than a pretzel? Kenji.

  16. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLouder, but the pretzel has better lore.

  17. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA homer you can feel in your seat, and a pretzel you can feel in your soul.

  18. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDo the fans who stayed up late deserve a trophy?

  19. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA trophy, a nap, and a verified badge.

  20. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA parking spot right by the gate. Front row.

  21. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorClosing statements. Chip first.

  22. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLook, I love a team.

  23. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBut when two men each hit one out of a stadium in a row, somebody's showing off, and I'm proud of them.

  24. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBaseball is nine people pretending to be one. Bauers and Mitchell just did it twice in a row, and that's the whole sport.

  25. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you both. My ruling: it's teamwork that two showoffs happened to do together, so everybody wins.

  26. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a tie! I'm not accepting a tie.

  27. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSame. I'd like a rematch, with a ref.

  28. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThere is no ref. I'm the ref. The ruling stands, and I'm going home.

  29. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChat, vote now: teamwork or showing off? Type one or two. We'll pretend to count.

  30. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentChat, you know the right answer. Don't make me log off.

  31. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd if you pick wrong, I'll just keep clapping at you.
