And right away Seattle ties the score. Let's pull the best pitcher in baseball to put in lesser pitchers in a must win game. Brilliant. Analytics nerds have ruined the sport

And now the Mariners manager overmanaging, bringing in his closer for no reason. The guy walks 2 batters and looks like he has nothing. Refusing to throw a fastball

How do you not bunt in that situation if you're the Mariners? You have to get the runner over and force the defense to make a play and put all the pressure on the pitcher with a runner on third and one out. More analytics ruining the sport, and of course Seattle doesn't score

And the inability to get a bunt down, because no one ever buns anymore or even practices it, keeps this game going

So the last time the Mariners manager pulled his pitcher because the upcoming hitter hit a HR off him earlier in the series, the new pitcher promptly gave up a home run

Nice work from the fourth line to create that goal for Fox. Dave Maloney needs to understand he's no longer on the radio, he can talk during the play on TV #NYR

Solid effort so far tonight. Needed to take at least 2 out of 3 to start the season because Pittsburgh and Buffalo are bad teams. Schedule gets tougher starting tomorrow, so really need to have a good third period here and get a win #NYR

2 solid wins over bad teams. And now it gets more interesting with Washington, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal next week #NYR

#NYGiants have a good chance at Denver. Broncos looked terrible today and have to fly back from London. If the Giants are really going to save this season, then they need to make up for 2 terrible losses at Dallas and NO. This is a chance to do that

#NYR playing a solid game, but being a limited offensive team means this will happen against better teams. Still a chance to tie

Why didn't Andy Reid take the field goal? This going for fourth down all the time is so dumb

It was a solid effort on a back-to-back against a really good team. #NYR just have very little offense as they try to play a more defensively structured and responsible game. Mika doesn't score like he used to, Laf isn't a natural scorer, Cuylle has been awful. And no RWs

But you cant blame Greene. This is what analytics baseball has taught him. The problem is too much analytics and people thinking they know better. Chasing max velocity and spin rate has ruined pitchers, so have pitch counts and innings limits

Unfortunately the Rangers don't have natural goal scorers. They constantly shoot it right at the goalie and can't pick a corner. Panarin is doing what the coaches want, playing a safe game #NYR

From a 2022 article by beat writer Jeff Jones after Albert left the Cardinals: "Albert had to go because players found him so interpersonally grating that whatever he had to say was never going to get through." Maybe that's why there will be another hitting coach with him #Mets

So the coach that talked to Giannone between periods knows it. He said they have to create a ton of traffic in front and just throw pucks at the net. That's what you do when you have no goal scorers #NYR

Carrick and Edstrom have the best opportunities every night but neither one of them has offensive ability #NYR

You need players who can score goals, and #NYR just don't have any. Guys like Laf and Cuylle are not goal scorers. Sheary has missed several chances playing RW because he's not a RW. Laf isn't a RW. 3rd line has no offense. Carrick and Edstrom are not scorers. No finishers #NYR

This is what Ive been saying all night. The lack of top end offense, and wingers playing out of position due to no RWs, is killing #NYR

100% correct, thank you
