My gosh! Watch the video! This ump needs to resign and MLB needs to fix this!

Kinda crazy that we’ve had 2 official perfect games, and another unofficial (this one) perfect game this season. I think there’s only been about 20 in all of MLB history. To have three in one year is unreal.

I just watched the video several times and the runner sure looked like he beat the throw to me. Admittedly it was very close but obviously the right call by the umpire.

Yep, I watched the game. This needs to be fixed somehow.

wow...this ump blew this call. He will feel sick about this for a while...human error. Obama will save the day and ask for a congressional hearing on instant replay.
Maybe after that he’ll want to try and cap a geiser in the gulf.

The ump is referring inquiries to his lawyers - Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe ...

I am no Tiger fan but with all the crap the guys have been through over the seasons this is just so wrong. These guys cannot get a break. But they are only 4 games behind the Twins and 5 games ahead of the Sox and Royals and the Indians well what can one say about them but “Wild Thing, He Walks Everything!” I wonder how many bottles of Jack Daniels the announcers are going through each night at those games.
Good game Tigers. Better Umps next time.

Ree-diculous.Award the perfect game to Gallarraga posthumously, or whatever the correct term is. I’m so mad that’s the only word I can think of right now.

It is called baseball. Bad calls happen all the time, but they do not always happen at such critical times.
At the same time, a bad pitch call by the umpire in this same game could have completely changed the outcome of the game. If the batter had one bad strike call, the next pitch could have been a home run.
