No_More_Larchide Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 My buddy called me up before the 9th started to let me know and I watched that live, all I can say is; wow... gotta feel for the kid, however, that was one of the most classy speeches I have ever heard post-game after something like that. Take notes kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Henis Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I think the commisioner can overturn the call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_More_Larchide Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 In my opinion, on the 27th out of a perfect game bid the runner better be in there by a mile. Screw the *tie goes to the runner* rule, on the 27th out of a perfect game, cut the guy some slack. Not that he needed to on that put-out, which he clearly had.

Vansterdam1 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 You feel bad for the guy but he took it so well. If the comish doesnt overturn it(not sure if he can) ill just consider it the 21st perfect game anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I feel so bad for the guy, he wasnt even mad or anything, sucha nice guy. It makes me feel even more sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Commissioner can't overturn it, but this would be YET ANOTHER great chance to put in a video review rule or something that can prevent this type of tragedy from ever happening again. If he doesn't do anything with this, the public should really put the heat on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnTavares Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 At least the Ump owned up to it. MLB Commissioner needs to overturn the call and give the kid a perfect game IMO. Even the Ump said it was the wrong call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 That would be best but the problem is that there a bunch of old farts who think of baseball as a very traditional game and will raise a fuss over any rule changes. There are a lot of people who would want it(like me) but the traditionalists ruin it. I think that the best solution would be a single challenge for each manager.

Common sense Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 You gotta admit - the pitcher took it with class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM24 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Wow, I'm shocked, I watched a video of this 2 times, just stunned. I feel so bad for the pitcher, it's not everyday this happens. But you have to feel for the umpire too, he doesn't have instant replay like everyone else, and it wasn't in slow motion, every umpire/ref makes a bad call because the game is going so fast at times. I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I do watch the occasional game, and I watch the highlights for each game, I might be following baseball a little closer this summer. Sorry for any noobish things I say haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretzky's Mullet Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 The amount of class and grace being shown by both sides after this is almost surreal. It definitely should be a lesson to others. It seems to me like the best solution would be like what they have in football, a challenge flag type of thing allowed once per game. There wouldn't have to be a "flag" per se, perhaps the manager needs to go and ask the umpire to use his challenge review, and they'll have a replay official, maybe the guy who looks at controversial homers, to watch the video. Unlike in football or hockey, most plays in baseball are pretty obvious right away (such as fair/foul, out/safe, catch/trap) that it wouldn't delay the game that much. You'd also have the chance to avoid big tantrums from the managers on the field, which would've taken away from Bobby Cox's legacy but in all be a good thing.
