zenryan Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I feel bad for Joyce after watching the replay of that inning. He didnt run off the field after the game like Joe West wouldve done. He stayed there and let the Tiger players scream at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 07:55 PM) I truly believe that's the last straw for not having instant replay. Should be known as the Galarraga Rule. I really hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you joking, why don't they just go back in history and correct every single blown call that has ever been made.. cant do it here unless you do it to others as well..

jasonxctf Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 MLB umpiring this year has been a complete disgrace. I agree with the 1 challenge rule idea. Can be used for safe/out calls on the bases, fair/foul balls, etc. (not balls/strikes or HR's) Like Football replay must be conclusive. Nothing can turn fans away more than blown calls.

Quin Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 "I just cost that kid a perfect game," Joyce said. "I thought he beat the throw. I was convinced he beat the throw, until I saw the replay." "It was the biggest call of my career," said Joyce, who became a full-time major league umpire in 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 I love how it's been called the first ever 28 out perfect game. Joyce better be careful, as Leyland will put his cigarette out on his arm and then Cabrera will pour alcohol on the wound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad just reminded me that his friend Milt Pappas is still pissed about losing his perfect bid, and that was 40 years ago. That makes Galarraga that much more amazing that he didn't even get mad right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Maybe Galarrage knows what he accomplished, even if the ump blew the call and kept him off the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm sure this won't happen, and I don't know the process of how this needs to happen. But if Bud Selig had any balls, he'd reverse the call and give Galarraga a perfect game. The ump said he missed the call, everyone knows he pitched a perfect game. Be real and give it to him.

They went 120 years without instant replay and many consider having it for the better. Either way this is going to alter the future of the game, especially if they enchance replay.

It was on MLB Tonight as they showed many replays and then stated that officials ruled it a bobbled ball, even though the ump who blew the call said he blew it.
