Allen strikes out looking. I'd rather see Gamel or Suwinski or Mitchell over Allen.

Allen has no future here, and even though Gamel probably doesn't either, I'd rather have Gamel taking away some prospects AB's instead of Allen.

And if I keep on complaining about Allen tonight, he'll hit a game winning 3 run HR

IMHO, that's not a good look for MLB. I'm sure there's no funny business going on with those balls but when you use a special ball for a certain player, it's going to raise some eyebrows.

MLB is so firmly entranced with gambling, even if the ball were doctored, I don't think most would even care, they'd just figure par for the course.

I'm guessing they're doing the same with Pujols?

A rare cool spot by Robbie, with Wil Crowe visiting monument park, one of the Yankees enshrined there was his great uncle or something like that. His son's middle name is Ruffing, the guy who has the plaque

MLB Network cut into the Judge AB, and as they exited, gave some nice props to Ortiz

Really have to like the velocity of this Ortiz kid

Castillo and Newman back to back singles after one out.

Golly, this running gag between Brown and Walk where they refer to RBIs as "rib eyes" and "steaks" never gets old. (Said no one ever.)

Cruz walks to load them up

thankfully a mound visit stopped it
