@jdavs211 He did make contact with the glove, so it was the right call. Just frustrating that nobody called it until after the Rockies manager came out and talked to the umps

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

Umps should be fined. Inexcusable call. Pirates deserved to lose the game, but that doesn't excuse that call. Kelly was and should be irate. Didn't make any contact and didn't impede him at all. Simply ran in front of the play. Umps didn't even call until the Rockies complained

Triolo is just the worst. Absolutely useless

Skenes Night: He’s due. So here’s the deal. If Paul strikes out 9 or more. Like he did the last time he faced the Dodgers. And the Buccos win. I’ll give away 5 Paul Skenes jerseys. Just follow me. And retweet this post. And you’re good. Let’s go Bucs!

Here is my daily "Triolo is terrible" tweet...

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

A 9-5 lead with two outs in the eighth inning.

And they are going to lose.

This will be at least the fifth game this year where they've had a win probability of 88% or higher in the 8th inning or later that they've lost.

Pathetic.

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

If the Pirates don't make a move for a bullpen arm tomorrow, that's just gross negligence. It's going to cost them the playoffs this year. Unbelievable

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

lol wut?

Jon Cooper is the Jack Adams winner for the 2025-2026 NHL season! 🏆

Cooper takes home the first Jack Adams award of his career after the Tampa Bay Lightning finished the season with a 50-26-6 record for 106 points.

@sfm1828 That comparison might actually be offensive to some children...

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

Triolo is absolutely terrible. His defense hasn't even been good this year which was his only strength

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

That sucks... Buffalo was the better team. Deserved the win. Think they had a better shot against the canes too

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

Pens need someone like a Hornqvist to play in front of and around the goal. Easier said than done, but would have made a huge difference in this series. Brazeau was doing it pretty well early in the season but kinda got away from it in the 2nd half

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

I know the Pens had a lot of chances last night, but I can't get over Rust's chance at the end of the 3rd. He tried that exact move 3 different times in the series with the same result. Vladar's 6'5, so that reach around the pads probably isn't gonna work.

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

You have to realize that and make an adjustment. Then he just tries to stuff the rebound rather than trying to chip it over the pad. I love Rust, but he doesn't finish nearly as much as he should

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

If the Pens would have just been able to get 1 past Vladar, I think they win handily in game 7. Really started to control the game. 3rd line killed us. I thought soderblom was ok, but kindel looked tired & mantha was terrible tonight at both ends of the ice, including ON the GWG

[Adam Gretz @AGretz]

Ah well. Helluva year! If you did not enjoy it or see it as a waste that is your problem.

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

What a shame. By far the better team tonight, especially in OT. Silovs was unbelievable. Deserved better. Had a bad feeling as soon as they iced it then lost the faceoff

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

Absolute joke

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

What is going on? How is that not even??

[Jeff Surmacz @jsurm8]

Steigy just said that the Penguins should sit Kindel for Kevin Hayes. What?
