ORIGINAL: David Levine Apparently Brennan Miller missed 22 ball/strike calls in Saturday’s Twins game. 17 of the 22 went against the Twins. I don't even think its bias or intentional. Umpires are just so bad at their job. The electronic strike zone can't get here soon enough. I was at a AAA game last year when the challenge system was in place. Each team had 3 challenges, but if successful the challenge is retained. Only pitcher, catcher or batter could challenge (I think). So really, unlimited challenges, as long as you're right. I like it. The key was the immediate result of the challenge. No long delays with umps wearing headsets and standing around. A challenge is announced, the pitch animation is displayed on the scoreboard screen, everyone in the stadium sees the result, and play goes on. It didn't seem like a disruption at all.
