I'm watching the Rangers and Sox and they mentioned that Galaraga was robbed with 2 outs in the ninth and a perfect game on the line. Crazy!!

It wasn't even a close call.. Not even CLOSE!

That is just stupid. They need to reverse the call and give him the perfect game.

Wow is right! And the pitcher has ball in glove in this pic? ...they've got to reverse that.

What a great moment in Comerica:Jim Joyce apologizes to Galarraga, Galarraga accepts, they hug. Class by Joyce, incredible class by the kid.
8 minutes ago via TweetDeck

Stood with #Tigers players while they watched replays in clubhouse and have never experienced anything like it. True stunned disbelief.
9 minutes ago via Echofon

I asked Galarraga if he felt he had something stolen from him: "Yes. Absolutely."
13 minutes ago via Echofon

Galarraga, while classy, did say, "In that situation you expect more from a major league umpire."
14 minutes ago via Echofon

Paraphrasing quotes: Leyland. "Nobody will feel worse about that missed call than Jim Joyce. We're saying it was a 28-out perfect game."

Jim Joyce was distraught. "Most important call of my career and I kicked the s$&t out of it. I cost that kid a perfect game."

Was watching the live coverage on MLBN. I was getting excited about finally have the potential to see one live. I'm still convinced I did see one live, and of course the umpire saying he was wrong proved that right. Great play for the first out of the 9th as well, thought for sure that ball was gone off the bat. It happens though. No need to hate the umpire like that, I'm absolutely certain he feels horrible, but I've seen plenty of blown calls, that's just part of the game. There will always be that human element to it unless we make it like the NFL and take up 15 minutes reviewing replays.

I do think it should be re-done to include major history altering calls, but at the same time, none of the 20 other perfect games in the history have had the human element removed from their quests.

From what I hear that ump is feeling VERY bad about blowing that call. I give him credit for coming out to the media and saying "my bad" and really feeling remorse for it.

Rudy
06-03-2010, 05:24 AM
I wouldn't call it the worst call I've seen because any time a pitcher covers first base it can be goofy with their footwork. The guy was clearly out on the replays and the ump has to give the benefit of the doubt to the pitcher in that situation. I hope it gets reversed but I'm doubting it.

The ump does feel horrible and I think he handled it in a classy way after the game. Here's another pic.

Selig has the power to overturn and make it a perfect game, and may do so. I hope he does the right thing.

Then you open a pandora's box. I don't think that will happen. Then you will have people looking back at every bad call ever made and asking Selig to overturn it because it affected the outcome of the game.

Selig will not overturn it, but they will evaluate replay now.

Rudy
06-03-2010, 03:56 PM
Selig would have caused all kinds of problems if he overturned it. In some ways, Galaragga might become more famous as the guy that brought replay to MLB and the guy that got screwed out of a perfect game.

I watched almost all of the Rays/Diamondbacks game with Edwin Jackson's no-no. That game was insane. Most pitches for a solo no no since 1988 with 149, he had 7 walks in 2.2 innings, props to Hinsch for staying with him.

JBHuskers
06-25-2010, 09:25 PM
The Rays are the first team since 2001 to be no hit twice in the same season, and it's only June. Six times ever it's happened to a team.

8/15/90 ... the last time a pitcher has thrown a no hitter against former team when Terry Mullholland did it

Rudy
06-26-2010, 04:51 AM
Carlos Guillen is hitting well for the Tigers but he's not very good at 2B. Two routine double plays weren't turned because he was either very slow to get to the bag or made a bad throw to first. No errors charged (the throwing error 8 feet wide of first base should have been one) but it cost rookie Andy Oliver a run. Oliver is a nice lefty that was throwing 94-97 mph. The Tigers rush their pitchers too much though. It's the kid's first year in the minors. He started out in AA and they just brought him up which I think will be for only a couple starts. Porcello through a 1 hitter in Toledo as he is working on his secondary pitches. That's why some kids need more time in the minors. They need to develop their secondary pitches without worrying so much about the results. Plus they need to develop confidence. Hard to do that when rushed to the bigs.

I don't know what's going to happen with Zumaya. I think he should just retire before he wrecks his arm permanently. There's a chance his career is over. Either way his arm movement is violent and he throws from a low arm slot putting more pressure on his arm. He will have to rebuild his throwing motion if he ever wants to stay healthy. His loss hurts the Tigers big time as he was pitching very well this year.

Tigers may be trading Rick Porcello which would be a terrible idea. I'm not sure how they can take on more salary (Haren possibly?) but Illitch wants to win and isn't afraid to lose money. He LOVES baseball and was a former minor leaguer and desperately wants the Tigers to win a World Series as an owner in his lifetime. He will be 81 on July 20th.

Yeah that surprised the hell out of me. Gave up Smoak though. But they're in position to win now this year.

Ya, I think Smoak's going to be a hell of a player. I really liked him. I never could be a GM of a team. I'm too loyal and the guilt of trading away a player I like would be too much to handle.

Rangers want to win now so to ease the pain they said:

Chris Davis > Justin Smoak

Its possible Davis will still turn out to be a really good player. He plays plus defense and if he can ever figure things out at the plate he has the ability to hit 40 homeruns a season. In AAA this year he's hitting .354 with 10 HRs and 56 RBI's. He's a classic power hitter that will always strike out more that you like however if he can maintain a .280 average you'll be able to live with the strikeouts as he'll also provide 40 homeruns and 100+ RBI's. He's also only 24 years old so there is still time.

A 21-year-old man who intentionally vomited on a spectator and his 11-year-old daughter at a Philadelphia Phillies game was sentenced Friday to up to three months in jail and community service, which the judge suggested be fulfilled by cleaning ballpark toilets and trash.
