Not two seconds after Cleveland shortstop Brayan Rocchio snares a liner off the bat of Jake Rogers, we’re force fed an inane betting ad with Big Poopi. I had no idea what happened and why we had to see some stupid commercial. We got the game back two pitches later and no explanation for this crappy intrusion.

Since the Red Sox haven’t been a part of the postseason for some time, I think we should get a reprieve from Ortiz and his babbling and sports betting nonsense. The game/series is not without its own drama.
