    Which is pretty amazing since I bet there are less than 25 a year. The only thing to argue is whether a challenge gets granted or not. I guess once they are out of challenges then you might argue a call. Then you will just get " your players should of saved their challenges " from the ump.

    I do. We had Servais. Huge swing and miss, wait watched a fastball down the middle and struck out again. Pohlads and management sucks, it's ok to admit it.

    This headline is so dead on.

    Been a fan since 1964, when I saw my first game. Far and away the most disappointed in management in all those years was this one. Some was just outright stupidity. Giving up Varland who was under control until 2030 and pissing away Castro was just outright malpractice. Please don't tell me about potential of the trades. Castro is what everyone single team needs and Varland was gold 1. Because what he had become from where he was to PR gold as a local boy (ever heard of Joe Mauer). Save me the $ argument, Twins will never be a serious MLB team ever. That sucks as a fan.

    Everybody gets on me when I post that Rocco is a sub-par manager, but as always he comes through and proves me right. In game decision making and when to use the bullen are not his strong suit.

    Not Unpopular, just a bad opinion. I ran it at a AAA park the last 2 years average time for all AAA was somewhere under17 seconds and typically 15 seconds. In the Majors it will be at least that fast due to expectations. Wildly popular with fans no complaints on time. In addition there will not be but a few during games in the majors because umpires learn the strike zone quickly and don't like being wrong a typical game may be extended by 90 seconds worst case scenario. I get that you may not like the technology but this is just silly to complain on the time aspect.

    Absolutely LOVE ABS challenge system.
  8. Jkeady12
    Well at least we have someone to play against lefty starters but obviously a big wait and see.
  9. Jkeady12
    Like your rationals especially on Jax, why risk him at starter when he is a above average reliever. Don't think we should trade Duran unless tge return is amazing and it won't be.Agree on Camargo and Winkler. Good with taking on Profar 3-4 years tops. Only wish we could get Sasaki.
  10. Jkeady12
    Two driving factors: 1 what is the return? 2. Does that return create a higher value for potential new owners? Not sure Pohlads trade away anything that makes them more $. But if you get an exciting young core out of the trade which knowing the Twins is unlikely then maybe.
  11. Jkeady12
    Agreed! So far we should trade our entire team per these articles...

    Said it before and will say it again. Rocco overmanages based on analytics. How much does it affect the games? Hard to say because he can only manage based on analytics which means we could save his salary and have AI as the manager. Don't care what your numbers show, good managers know when to use analytics and when not to, they know their players get hot and get cold. They know that there are outside factors that affect the players. Good managers manage not just look at analytics and completely trust them.
  13. Jkeady12
    I have felt like Duran isn't being able to call his own game and his comments proved that true. Catchers call the pitches as they should but great closers know their stuff, especially during the game and throw what is working. I probably wrong but I feel like Rocco overmanages all the time He is a 100% analytics guy and doesn't do a good job of managing situations based on the moment he relies completely on analytics, which is great when it works but the great managers have an interesting feel for the game.
  14. Jkeady12
    This is the second year of Full ABS and the challenge system in AAA. Both versions work amazingly and either version would cure the issues that you reported as far as balls and strikes and instant correction. Hope to see it in thr Bigs soon!!
  15. Jkeady12
    Not a fan of Rocco, his managing style is 100% data driven, continues to amaze me the opportunities to make managing decisions instead chooses his booklet instead. Great managers know when to make decisions that aren't data driven.
  16. Jkeady12
    Rocco being Rocco, he has never handled his pitching staff well.
  17. Jkeady12
    Yes please, preferably Snell or Montgomery.
  18. Jkeady12
    With ABS coming in one of two forms potentially next year dpes framinh matter anymore. If the go to the challenge system it could still help to some degree but full ABS will kill it. I would argue that it may make them better catchers especially when trying to throw out runners. The ability to not have to concentrate on framiing a pitch will allow them to work on their craft as a catcher especially when throwing out a runner where the slightest hesitation can make a runner safe.
  19. Jkeady12
    Agree especially on Helman! I did see Martin play in AAA this year and wasn't blown away but the more I watched him his defensive ability especially in the outfield really stood out. Could the let him play center like Taylor this year and maybe Buxton could actually play center some but Probably won't happen his injuries are chronic.
  20. Jkeady12
    Any thoughts on Michael Helman? He looks good when he is healthy.
  21. Jkeady12
    Please make it be Michael Helman. If he is and stays healthy he is the perfect fit. If the Twins don't get him up to the majors he will end up somewhere else one day and come back to haunt the Twins.
  22. Jkeady12
    Trade him while he is having a little success. I watched him numerous times this year and he has struggled mightily. He isn't goin to find his way on to the Twins roster and we should for once do him and the Team a favor and get something for him.
  23. Jkeady12
    Are you saying you cant find somebody who can’t hit better than .180? Because there are plenty of them and can hit with runners on base and in scoring position. There is zero reason not to replace him. everyone said Wallner wasn't good enough but he is and there are others. This is just stubborn management. No it can't, apparently you don't watch games. You sound like Rocco. That is why he is not a good manager, way to dependant on analytics.

    Can't be any worse than Gallo.
