    What's even more telling than Cuzzi's poor grade is Gibson's grade. The best human pitch-caller is about 94% accurate. I don't have a citation for this, but it's my understanding that electronic systems have been more accurate than that for many years. As said before, there is no good reason not to replace human pitch callers with electronic ones.

    The umpires would overrule the call on their own. No challenge needed.

    My patience regarding this issue has evaporated. At this point I say **** both Manfred and the union. Just get the right thing done.

    Even though it's only one game the offense was plenty good enough to compete with the Dodgers last night.

    But this is a good 'oh well'.

    Why have challenges? In a challenge the electronic call supersedes the human call. So just use the electronic call in the first place.

    And this is the 14th season since that happened in which he has continued to umpire. It's unconscionable that MLB has not relieved him of duty.

    I didn't see any of this game. When I checked on the outcome this morning I was disappointed in the Twins for scoring only once in the 10th inning after having the bases loaded with no outs. And then I saw the Kirilloff strikeout. Now instead I'm disappointed in Phil Cuzzi. I believe that Cuzzi truly thought those pitches were strikes, which shows two things. One, some umpires are better than others (and Cuzzi is not one of the better ones). Two, the outcome of this game was almost certainly changed by these incorrect calls, and this would not have happened with electronic pitch calling. While Cuzzi is largely to blame for the Kirilloff strikeout, MLB is also culpable for not implementing electronic pitch calling. Everyone who has studied this matter knows that the electronic system is more accurate than the best human umpires. While there are reasons to prefer human pitch calling over electronic pitch calling in the Major Leagues there are no good reasons--absolutely none--to do so. I am disgusted.

    I'm not sure of the roster situation. Who's eligible to be added?

    Gallo legging at full speed on that pop-up. 👍

    79 pitches for Varland thru 6. Keep him in. Doesn't hurt to rest the pen for another day with LAD waiting for us tomorrow.

    He's at 63 pitches after 5. I'm hoping he can get through 7.

    Nothing morbid about short people.

    You're the one who brought up dead people.

    C4 seems like he's striking the ball solidly now. This is a good thing.

    He is now a permanent resident of Minneapolis. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/1388/tiny-tim

    When I heard the Twins signed Gallo my reaction was somewhere between WTF? and Are they nuts? I sit corrected.
  18. Nine of twelve
    Only if you know you can get it past him. And then don't do it.

    When it rains it deluges!!!!

    Love it when a 2-out hit makes a crooked number crookeder.

    Not a very strong throw from center field. Wonder if the Twins have that on their scouting report.
  22. Nine of twelve
    Your team-leading RBI man, folks!

    Nine of twelve says nine of nine for Varland.

    Paddack autocorrects to Paddock for a lot of people.

    I could tell Stroman is not tall, but per the Cubs web site he's only 5'7", 180 lb. It's really rare for a MLB pitcher to be that short. It's a big disadvantage because tall bodies have better leverage, making it easier to impart more momentum to the ball. Edited to add: tall people also stride closer to home plate, another advantage.
