Right, it's a little closer when watching it in real time, but even so, what harm would it have done for the ump to have just punched him out and be done with it?
Would the Indians have argued the call? highly doubt it.
Highly unlikely the Indians were going to score 3 runs with 1 out to go anyway, just call the guy out.
Rob a guy of a hit.... or rob a guy of a perfect game.... hmm, tough call.

He had the opprotunity to call a huddle together with the rest of his crew and see what they saw.
I really don't see why he didn't do that seeing as he knew the magnitude of the call he made and what impact it would have. You know he knew there was doubt with that call too how he flinched and hesitated before he made the safe call. He should have excersized his right to call a huddle and get the rest of the crews opnions. Espically after seeing it on the big screen while they would have been having their discussion.
Shit happens, this time it hapened to him. I give him props for coming out and apologizing quickly after the game was over.
As stated above the call will not be over turned, then they will want to go back and look at all the other bullshit calls that have happened over the years.

I read GM gave the guy a free Corvette for getting screwed. Nice. I like when wealthy people get free shit.

Would you be pissed if you were the pitcher? I wouldn't. He probably made $500k that game
BTW I do not support instant replay in baseball. Keep it natural.03 Terminator Vert

It's only available for questionable home runs, whether they hit the top of the fence and went out/back in, or did not.

06-04-2010, 10:55 AM #28Right you are on that...GM and the Tigers got together and gave the kid a Vette. Then instead of the manager taking the lineup card to the home plate ump (who just happened to be Jim Joyce) they had Gallaraga do it. Originally Posted by Karps TA
