I wasn't a fan of the swing-off but I'm not up in arms about it. I thought the AL grinded to score that 6th run and would have preferred to see it decided in extra innings. I think you could have a set of players specifically selected to the all-star game as "just in case players" for extra innings only. That allows managers to empty the bench and bullpen so everyone elected gets to play.

As for the people that enjoyed the swing off they kinda shot themselves in the foot. Schwarbs was probably a guy that the NL picks anyway but Boone had no opportunity to use Judge because he was a starter and not available anymore to my understanding. I mean if we are going FULL gimick here I want to at least see the BEST options for each side up there. I read in a post somewhere that this adds a level of strategy in that its important to have a solid feeder like the NL had. Okay, maybe, I'm just not that interested in that sort of strategy. I would just rather them play the game which is still the best of all the all-star games in my opinion.

All in all, not up in arms. The game has meant far less after the introduction of interleague play anyway. Overall the game was still enjoyable and as I like seeing the stars go up against each other.
