Besides the hassle of @mlb.com broadcasting their games on 5 (more?) different networks, the part-time baseball networks are, as a rule, BAD at it. Fox just cut to 3 straight commercials, during play, while the Dodgers-Pirates game is on. Announcers seemed unaware, and we fully missed 2 at-bats.

Can someone explain why Ewing wasn’t bunting in the bottom of the 9th, with the Mets in a tie game, with men on 2nd and 3rd, with no outs? With a pinch runner on 3rd. How was anything other than a safety squeeze appropriate?

At what point do the Mets acknowledge that Polanco isn’t a major league hitter? Having him bunt earlier in the game was a good start, but late in the game with the bases loaded, there has to be someone who’s not effectively a .150 hitter to put in.

Most MLB teams tell their pitchers to throw strikes & “trust your defense”. Which is why Mets pitchers feel so much pressure to throw perfect pitches. Same inning: Soto throws a duck, gifting a double. Bichette runs over a ground ball (screening Lindor) & throws to the wrong base on the next play.

Vientos costs the Mets a run on defense. Arguably multiple runs. If they can't slot him into the DH spot, he's too much of a liability on the field, no matter where we put him. The Mets do need hitting, but weak hitting means you can't afford guy who consistently hands runs to the opposition.

With 3 flagrant fouls in the playoffs, Wemby is immune to flagrant fouls, no matter what he does. No ref will be the guy who gives him the 4th flagrant that suspends him for a game in the playoffs. Immune. He can do whatever he wants -- and they can't even call a FOUL -- it might be reviewed.

I'm over the moon about the Knicks winning, but I'm not over what the Refs did at the beginning of game 4. This was a foul called on Towns, the picture in the NBA rule book for "reach in foul". This call and the "bare contact" defensive foul before it, also on Towns, changed the whole game.
Picture of Victor Wembanyama reaching under one of Karl Anthony Towns' arms, across towns chest, changing the shape of Towns jersey with that reach in. In that play, with the help of replay, Towns was called for the foul.
