It’s crazy to see someone make EJ’s throw look slow 👀

Can’t deny the success the two-handers bring to the game, but also can’t deny that I’m a traditionalist. If EJ is in the game I’m cheering for him.

Same. I respect most 2-handers, but overall I don't like it. I do love EJ but I also really like McCune. Haven't seen Kevin on TV before but I remember his dad Eugene, and the 'hard and fast' style reminds me of guys like Robert 'Maximum Bob' Smith who I used to love watching.

Guarantee EJ isn’t a fan of this format. Dominated matchplay, which normally would mean he’s the #1 seed in stepladder finals yet again for a fourth major this year-instead eliminated in Top 8, despite the matchplay performance.

@matrixphijr

Well they bowl how many games in match play? If you’re #1 through all of them you should be able to handle winning 2 of 3 against anybody. Stepladder’s such a lazy format, I’m glad to see them have to actually win instead of just get lucky for 1 game (normally it’s because the guy who’s climbed the whole stepladder gets tired and has a bad game that they win rather than they actually have to go out and beat somebody in a competitive match).

@@matrixphijr stepladder is an objectively terrible format. You make the lowest qualifying player play multiple games from easiest to hardest, meanwhile the number one seed plays one game on broken down lanes. Bracket tournaments make far more sense. Let the first and last seed play it out first and everyone bowls on the same breakdown, and the same fatigue level

I honestly think that they should’ve done the same format as last year. Because this looks like a playoffs tournament. Don’t read this if you haven’t seen it yet EJ was robbed in the 10th frame of the first game. Even though he didn’t throw the best shot, with all that power he creates, it really doesn’t make sense to leave a 7-10, it would make more sense if it was a 10 pin or a 7 pin, not both of them

@chrisruss7863

Жыл бұрын

7-10s happen to everyone, they just happen to power players less frequently. And in my opinion the only bad break in bowling is the solid 8. A ball hitting pocket perfectly doesn't leave a 7, 10, or 7-10. It happens, I don't think thats getting robbed

@UhKimboze

Why the massive space between paragraphs? Never seen that before unless it’s a joke.

Mccune begged his ball to much. Shows throwing it hard gets pin carry even when you miss your shots.

Not a fan of the new format, but that fits today's PBA!

IF EJ happen to throw a PB or PH he would have at least 3 to 5 more title ... LOOK at this TANK.... look at last year PlayOff when EJ throwing that Blue Tank and this TANK

Simo was lucky on this one !

EJ just seemed to have a couple mental lapses. If he knocks down either the 7 or the 10 in the tenth frame of game 1 on his spare attempt, McCune has to double to win. Maybe would’ve been a different outcome.

I can't stand this format, they should bowl the qualifying rounds the 6 match play rounds then the 5 man stepladder finals like they used to
