The Yankees escaped Baltimore with a 5-3 win, but Pete Alonso’s controversial foul ball became the defining moment. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber agree the Yankees caught a massive break, while also giving them credit for capitalizing with clutch offense and strong bullpen work after the call. The bigger issue is MLB’s replay system and why baseball still lacks the technology to definitively rule on towering fair-or-foul home runs.
George Lombard Jr continues to make an immediate impact with his bat, speed and defense, fueling a debate over just how high his ceiling could be. Evan and Tiki also push back on the sudden criticism surrounding Giants running back Tyrone Tracy.
