And yeah seriously. When it's a bang-bang play (and that was NOT bang-bang) you damn better give the pitcher the call after he has just pitched a perfect game minus one out. THIS IS INFURIATING f*** why aren't Rich and Tommy talking about it I'm so mad

There is no doubt that was a perfect game. I wonder how MLB will handle this. Terrible.

I don't think they've really seen the play and digested what happened.

:lol, Thanks Ryan!

I'd definitely try to appeal. Not sure how far it would get but I would at least try.

And ESPN will talk about this for the next few days. Definitely a conversation starter, and probably will be replayed on baseball highlights for years to come.

 

Just horrible, Don Denkinger Part 2, this time with Jim Joyce the culprit.

Man, Wikipedia is fast.

 

Blown Call

 

On June 2, 2010, Joyce made a controversial call at first base which would have given Armando Galaragga of the Detroit Tigers a perfect game.[1]

Let's keep this thread about the Marlins game.

 

Talk about Galarraga's almost-Perfect game here:

Joyce went to Bowling Green University in Bowling Green, Ohio, two hours from Cleveland. Irony?

Man on a close play like that as the umpire you give the pitcher the f***ing call when a perfect game is on the line!

I mean it was pretty obvious he was out even to the naked eye on the 1st view.

This reminds me of the call Anibal Sanchez got on his No Hitter when Hanley threw out Byrnes at 1st on a bang bang play which Byrnes could have been called safe but the umpire knew that history was on the line and gave him the call.

Volstad out of a bases loaded jam

got out of that one

Clutch, Volstad.

Volstad deserves a win.

nice play hanley

nice play hanley

 

 

Was closer than I would have liked

Love the aggressiveness on the base paths lately.

c'mon Chris get this last batter & hand it to the pen.

WTF Ronny

Nice throw, bad hop. Nothing Paulino could have done there.

still I think he should had got that

bah.

Lets go Tank, solid outing by Volstad, sucks to see it end like that.

Tank now? Its likely only going to be for one batter and now we can't use him for Fielder later.
