    Google AI states that the ABS system is highly accurate with a median margin of error of roughly 0.16 inches (4.1mm). During 2026 spring training , the system showed 95% confidence in tracking to within 0.39 inches and 99% confidence within 0.48 inches. In other words the confidence tracking is not the same as actual measured accuracy which is to within 0.16 inches. That's actually pretty darn good.

    I think the Twins struck gold with Taj Bradley and Mick Abel. Time will tell but these two look pretty good so far.

    Barely. He's hitting a few dingers but still swinging a lot at stuff out of the strike zone, but I suppose any improvement is better than no improvement.
  4. laloesch
    Isn't it measured with a laser? It's gotta be more accurate than 0.48 inches. 0.48 inches off in that proximity would be HUGE.

    Lots of shortstops at the top of the draft this year. I'd take Flora #1 and if he's gone by pick 3 then Lackey. Good catchers that can also hit well are rare so it's a close pick between Flora and Lackey. Flora has a plus plus changeup and a dynamic fastball, which screams ace to me. I think you have to take him if he falls to #3, but that's my opinion. Lebron scares me. He has a tendency to chase pitches out of the zone FREQUENTLY which could make him a strikeout prone hitter. I'd take Emerson or Cholowsky before Lebron.

    I agree. Sign Jeffers and Ryan now. If not they have to trade them.

    It's also possible there were some club house cancers traded away last deadline and the youngsters are happy to be playing for a different manager. Ducks.

    I must confess I'm very pleasantly surprised at the start this team had. Sooooo much better than last year. Perhaps they will surprise a lot of people and keep this going.
  9. laloesch
    Yeah. I am NOT a fan of Lee at Short. He's simply not good enough for that position.
  10. laloesch
    Yes, and that's the true sign of a pitcher not a guy that just throws and throws. If your fastball, changeup, curveball, whatever pitch is not working that night you change things up and work through it. That's a fantastic sign for Bradley and the Twins.
  11. laloesch
    Yeah...uh....Lee. The sooner Culpepper is called up the better. Luke Keaschall at 2nd and Kaelen Culpepper at 3rd.
  12. laloesch
    I THINK the Twins struck gold with Bradley and eventually Abel, who also has fantastic stuff. The front office should trade Ryan while they still can get prospects for him or sign him to an extension, but don't wait much longer either way. A rotation of Ryan, Bradley, Abel, SWR, + has huge potential. The question is what happens to all the rest in AAA? Matthews, Morris, Festa, etc.
  13. laloesch
    Yes. Hopefully Culpepper and Rodriguez get the call soon. Jenkins will probably be in the fall but they need the reinforcements

    Dumpster diving at it's finest. Every once in a few decades you find treasures, most times you climb out of the bin empty handed, stinky, and humiliated in front of your fans.
  15. laloesch
    This is a 90 to 100 loss team, no question about it in my head. Gonna be a LONG season.
  16. laloesch
    I've been saying this for years. The Umps behind the plate are too inconsistent and some of them are downright bad at defining the strike zone consistently with their calls. Just switch over already and be done with it.
  17. laloesch
    The Lewis Lee duo is scary and not in a good way.
  18. laloesch
    I think that the Montreal situation is more complex though. The Expos only pulled more than 2 million fans in a season on 4 occasions (1979, 1980, 1982, and 1983) in the 35 years they were up there. Even in 1993 when they won 94 games they didn't even get close to 2 million fans in attendance. Plus, Olympic stadium was a toilet bowl of a venue to watch a baseball game in. Simply put, French Canadians are not big baseball fans and I have Canadian in-laws so I can speak to this. All that said, the Expos got sc**w'd by MLB and the strike in 1994. They would have almost certainly beaten the Yankees in the world series that year. The Braves were also a strong contender too.
  19. laloesch
    I agree. I think this team is an easy 100 loss ballclub this season. The pitching has talent but the offense is just abysmal, actually brutally bad.
  20. laloesch
    Offense once again anemic to start a season. Gonna be a longgggg summer
  21. laloesch
    Bradley has good stuff just needs refining
  22. laloesch
    Offense is anemic again. The Twins need to wake up and smell the coffee and get Culpepper, Jenkins, and Rodriguez up here as soon as possible. They need the bats now, not 50 - 60 losses to start the season before doing so.
  23. laloesch
    He’s a complete sucker for breaking balls. Not good
  24. laloesch
    Yep. Bust pick at this point
  25. laloesch
    Yeah. That raised some eyebrows when he said that and there have been numerous other things he’s said to the media that have a lot of us questioning his baseball IQ.
