Totally different system with nothing in common. ABS is operated by the league and uses a ton of tech that tracks the ball to a fraction of an inch. The white box is run by the broadcast and could use any assortment of tech from "pretty good" to "person in truck tapping a screen" and none of it is nearly as accurate as the league run ABS. -
Eh, maybe, maybe not. It depends how the pitch spot is generated. I know that some broadcasts literally have a person picking the spot to put the pitch and we don't have depth perception from the centerfield camera. It's best to just treat the box as a guide, not a rule.
-
I didn't see that bunt coming. I like it.
-
The white box isn't adjusted for hitter height/stance as the real strikezone is. It's not intended to be a hard rule, just a guide.
-
Yeah, I would have sent him there against Castro.
-
Pablo Lopez is my hero
-
The box is a guide, nothing more. It's not the actual strike zone. With that said, I haven't found tonight's umpiring nearly as aggravating as previous Twins postseason games.
-
I just don't get why hitters don't swing at 3-0 pitches more often.
-
Notice how I haven't excused Jeffers being horrible at the plate whatsoever. But okay.
-
Catchers lose blocked balls all the time and nothing came of it. If Jeffers hadn't looked helpless at the plate in this series, no one would be throwing a fit about the lost ball.
-
Take a breath, man. I know it's intense but that happens to catchers all the time, even the best ones.
-
Avoided the 1-2-3 inning and ran up the pitch count even further. Not a perfect outcome but I'll take it.
-
Astros fans booing Correa is a perfect example of why everything from Texas is terrible. Just the dumbest thing ever. The Astros didn't even TRY to retain him.
-
Pablo is pretty good at throwing a baseball.
-
I've been wondering the same thing.
-
Bummer about the double play but get the boys back to the plate in five minutes, Pablo!

Twins wearing down Valdez.

Twins doing what they need to do against Valdez. AND FARMER
-
I like Kershaw. I wish he could get the postseason monkey off his back, even if I have no love for the Dodgers themselves.
-
The Twins are in a pretty good position today. The key of the game is not letting Valdez go 7-8 innings, get into the Houston pen early, and sub back in all the LHB in the fifth and sixth.

The outcome of the game is not the only enjoyment I derive from watching it. The Twins game was engaging and exciting for all but two innings. I had fun watching, even if the outcome wasn't ideal. Whereas I turned off the Dodgers game after the second inning.
-
No moral victories but I want to see competitive baseball, which we saw last night. For nearly two decades I watched the Twins be non-competitive in the postseason, I want to be able to actually enjoy the games I'm watching after so much suffering.

And before y'all start feeling sorry for yourselves, at least you're not a Dodgers fan this morning. Yikes.
