April 21, 201214 yr Author You wait until now?? I was busy studying; didn't know it was happening until the 9th!
April 21, 201214 yr It seems like all these no-name starting pitchers keep on throwing no-hitters...What's the deal? Anyway, the most impressive part about it is that it took him just 96 pitches. The least impressive part is that it was against the Mariners.
April 21, 201214 yr Way to be a good sport about it Ryan..... What'd he do/say? Meh, he was arguing the call looking ultra pissed.
April 22, 201214 yr Instead of arguing the call he should of ran his ass to first, he would of made it and broken up the perfect game. Idiot.
April 22, 201214 yr I watched the final out. I guess nerves made Ryan swing (maybe, maybe not) at that last pitch, but that was a god awful pitch on a full count. Congrats to Philip Humber for the 22nd (ya, I said it) perfect game in history.
April 22, 201214 yr I just saw the replay of the final out. Wow, that was a terrible call. I know that no ump wants to be the next Jim Joyce, but there's no way that Ryan swung at that. Notice that we haven't seen the side view of the "swing." This perfect game will carry an asterisk in my mind.

Notice that we haven't seen the side view of the "swing." This perfect game will carry an asterisk in my mind. Watching it live I threw my hands up thinking he walked him. After watching the replay though I think he swung. Why I have no idea as it was a terrible pitch. I still haven't seen a side angle view either.
April 22, 201214 yr I don't know. I watched the replay like 20 times and I see no sign of Ryan turning his wrists or the head of the bat entering the plane of the plate. I think that under normal circumstances that's not called by the home plate umpire 100 out of 100 times. The fact that we aren't seeing the side angle tells a lot.

Wow-Never knew there were people who actually believe Joyce got the call right. I mean, from what I recall, even the runner was shocked he was called safe. If you watch the play in slow-mo & stop it as soon as the ball goes in the glove I just don't see there being any way you'd still think the same.
