Jim Joyce now has a place in infamy.

 

I'd be pissed if I were the pitcher.

 

I think MLB has to reverse the umps decision. The runner is clearly out. Leyland and whoever needs to fly to major league baseball and demand they reverse the call and give Armondo the much earned perfect game.

 

They won't. They should. But they're scared of setting a precedent.

 

I know. God forbid they actually do the right thing. We can't have that in the National Pastime!!

[J.R.]

That's one of the all-time worst calls.

 

Absolutely pathetic.

[illiniguy]

I seriously wanna be deaf wliffe is doing games. His constant slurping of the Cardinals and Chris Carpenter is ridiculous.

 

jigga wha?

computer is loading this site slow for some reason and it does that. when Rick Sutcliffe is what I meant to put there.

[J.R.]

We need comprehensive replay. To save the umps from themselves if nothing else.

[SpongeWorthy]

Who's going to be the first wiener that comes in here and says MLB shouldn't reverse the call?

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Even if they reverse it the reaction and the rush of completing a perfect game on the field is gone. The experience of throwing it is gone, but at least put it in the history books.

The moment will be gone, but the pitcher will be remembered by history for all time. That's at least better than the legions of guys who no one remembers who were perfect through 8 or 8 2/3rds and blew it.

[ConstableRabbit]

WTF?!?! Awful, awful call.

I tend to agree, but baseball likes to pride themselves with having integrity and not reversing this call would show that have no integrity. Again this CALL has to be reverse, the ump can't argue he made the right call, baseball can't defend the umps decision. I sound like a broken record, but baseball needs to reverse this call, or they will lose alot of respect.

[big_shooter17]

Look at the MLB article. They word it in such a way that they allude to the fact that the call was blown, but just won't have the guts to actually say it.

I dont see why they wouldnt reverse the call. I mean anyone who sees that replay can tell it wasnt even close and he was well out. Even if it was a close play and he was barely safe, which he clearly wasnt, youd think the ump would want to call him out to be a part of history. The Indians wouldnt have put up a fuss, the fans go home happy, and history is made with the first season with 3 perfectos.

[SpongeWorthy]

Maybe they will. There's going to be a [expletive] storm for the next week or so. I highly doubt it though.

 

It's an open and shut case, IMO, though. Give him the perfecto and make sure everyone who tries to use this to protest the end of normal games is rightly labeled as a huge douche.

Am I saying they shouldn't reverse the call? Absolutely not. If I were Selig I'd have already drafted a statement saying that the call is reversed and this is recognized as a Perfect Game.

 

However, if they didn't reverse the call when the 1985 World Series was on the line, I doubt they'd do it for a regular season game in June, perfect game or not.

 

I sincerely hope I'm wrong, though. Dude deserves it.

[illiniguy]

Lol at people pretending like MLB cares about all of its fans and thus they would reverse the call to make everyone happy.

[RedFlash]

I wonder if Detroit will recognize this game as a perfect game, regardless if MLB reverses the call or not.

[big_shooter17]

I bet that had it been Verlander who was throwing it, the guy could have been safe and he would have been called out as long as it was relatively close.

The official scorer should have ruled it an error.

[weis21]

The official scorer should have ruled it an error.

Yeah, if nothing else, can't they change that ruling after the fact?

 

Cabrera doesn't really deserve an error, but he did seem to double-clutch just a bit. I'm sure he wouldn't care considering he in the ump's ear the whole next batter.

[erik316wttn]

No, he shouldn't have. Because it wasn't.

[ELCABALLO45]

Holy Crap

Absolutely they can change it. I got a call an hour after the River Cats game today saying that they changed an error to a hit which occurred in the third inning.

 

My comment was more so that Gallaraga could at least get a no-hitter. Not as cool as a perfect game, but it's better than not getting a no-no.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Strasburg is good.

[Roast]

Strasburg is good.

That movement on his fastball is just SICK.

[illiniguy]

Watching this game makes me really miss Mark Prior and Kerry Wood.

[Roast]

Jesus this guy is so sick.
