ryanator Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Just happened a few minutes ago, but Galarraga pitching for the Tigers had one out left for a perfect game and the last batter grounded it and was called safe, which was not just a controversial but blown call. And if it's that close, don't try to act like your some big time ump or something calling it safe, just give it to the guy who needs that out for a Perfect GAME!

C Pav Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I know. I can't believe the ump called him safe. he even admitted and then apologized about missing the call. I say the league should revers the call(which really isn't a reversal since it was a mistake) and it should be a perfect game LIKE IT WAS. I know it won't happen and it really would be ard to celebrate it like it should be but it's just what I feel should be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmanz Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Feel bad for the pitcher, at least the ump had the courage to own up to his mistake and apologize to the player after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 So once they call it and even though it's wrong they can't reverse it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanator Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 So once they call it and even though it's wrong they can't reverse it? Technically by the rules, the play is not reviewable to reverse after the call and end of game. The only thing that are reviewable are questionable home runs that could decide the games outcome. Now, something could possibly be made for a special case (they technically could make a change for anything if they wanted), but doing it for this might make others pressure to try to go back and change other questionable plays in the past. It might create a dilema, but I think they would understand for something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmanz Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Yeah reversing it could open up a huge can of worms for the league. I'm not so sure that would be a good idea. Blown calls are part of the game like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanator Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 On MLB.com, they are saying that they are now deciding to officially review the play and possibly reverse it. They do have the power to do this, but they are probably deciding how it would fare with everyone. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5246454 I agree, blown calls are part of the game and is part of what makes the game. Being a baseball fan, I would love to see Galarraga get offical credit for a perfect game, but there will always be this contraversy over it.

C Pav Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I would like it reversed as well since he did earn it.....technically. Like I said though it would still be tainted and not as celebrated like it should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Nice to see this had a happy ending after all. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Jim-Joyce-Armando-Galarraga-make-up-after-blown-call-060310?GT1=39002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
