Would you prefer a challenge system on balls and strikes?

There needs to be challenge on balls strikes if umpires can’t make right calls-if not get rid of umpires and go robotic/AI it’s reason I hate referees/umpires with a passion!!! They are scum 🤮💩

That’s a major problem if that’s the truth!!! Someone on twins needs to beat the s—y out of umpires if that’s the case!!! 

That is a foolish grade school statement for Pete's sake.

[OvertheHill]

Through 6, we have 7 hits and 2 walks and zero runs. It feels like we’re witnessing epic levels of futility this year. Coming up small most of the time.

Question for you thumbs downers:

Did the (clearly) bad call change Max's AB? Did it change the Twins' chance of scoring that inning?

Yes

[Randy Griffith]

Typical Twins.  Outhitting PGH 7-2, but trailing 2-0.  Undisciplined baserunning that I thought we got rid of when Eddie Rosario left.  We are always trying to MAKE something happen and giving away scoring opportunities, which have been few and far between lately.

 

[Patzky]

At least Ryan has stopped the rotation bleeding tonight and I expect Simeon to do the same Saturday.

Did Lewis swing and miss on a ball in his eyes influence the Twins ability to score?

Offense needs to wake up.

Buxton?

In his defense, he’s taken only right turns at first base for about 3 weeks straight. The left caught him completely by surprise.

Is it? Someone needs to send a massage to umpires in calling fair game. This is why I hate all umpires/referees! They are corrupt. That’s why it’s time to get rid of them all together and go robotic/AI. 

[RpR]

Pirates have 2 hits and 2 runs; Twins have 7 hits and 0 runs.

In the past Twins have feasted on Chapman.

[Patzky]

Chapman too fast for the ump

It's exhausting following the Twins Gamecast on ESPN or MLB.com.  I'm about ready to go to Des Moines and watch the I-Cubs in person so I can love baseball again.  MLB and the three true outcomes (Strikeout, Walk, or Homerun) is getting old, especially for an old guy like me.

 

Yes Sir !!!!!

[AussieG]

OK this guy is the new Angel Hernandez

[CRF]

Ryan's only given up 2 hits, but naturally one left the yard, and we can't do squat at the plate. We'll probably lose 2-0. Sickening. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

This umpire is a joke. ABS please

If you have to swing at 103 mph balls because the ump will call them strikes.. that's a problem.

As an active working umpire go **** yourself. Kindly.

Did you like Willi's strike 3 call?

Have nothing else to talk to you about Sir. You're a comedian. 

[OvertheHill]

I too am annoyed by the egregious bad ball/strike calls we witness, but in my heart I don’t believe it’s what is holding the team back. That’s why I think it’s critical for the Manager to set the tone; truly good teams can overcome this stuff but once in a while the Manager should be sticking up for his pitchers and hitters. As far as overcoming this stuff, this team hasn’t looked like they consistently can. And it isn’t Rocco’s style to argue with umps, even if it might fire up his guys.

Is the home plate ump really as bad as everyone is saying? I can't watch the game, but if people are wanting Angel instead of him, he sounds like he has to be amazingly bad.

Keep looking at that rectangular box that is just an approximation and crying about it. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This is beyond frustrating.
