Yeah, this year has sure felt like some insane pitching - Ubaldo's No-no, two perfects, Cains masterpiece, and a smattering of other dazzling performances, various 1-hitters etc.

This is ugly. I can't keep watching baseball with these umps. Worse than basketball.

Also, baseball is in trouble. I go to a game to see some balls hit into the stands, maybe a steal or two. I don't want to see two people play catch for two hours, especially if I have to pay $50. Players need to take steroids again.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #53 on:** June 02, 2010, 09:13:54 PM »

I was watching. I'm no genius - But even I could tell that was an out. And even if it was that close, the benefit of the doubt should totally go towards the pitcher. Additionally - INSTANT REPLAY!!!! Even if MLB isn't using it. The crew chief should have said, hey man we messed up, lets go take a look and save some face.

I'll be very interested to see any statement from the MLB on this.

Quote from: Bud Selig in 24 hours

LOL GAIS THE UMP WAS RITE OLOLOLOLOL. BUT U SAW BRADEEEEEEN N HALIIDAMIAY U HAZ ENUF

Who was the ump that messed up? If it was Jim Joyce or Angel whateverhisnameis I'm going to scream.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #55 on:** June 02, 2010, 09:35:00 PM »

It was Jim Joyce actually.......

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #56 on:** June 02, 2010, 09:39:42 PM »

Ugh... Joyce is the worst umpire, by far. Missing the occasional close call is perfectly acceptable, but doing it on a regular basis isn't okay. Even for a little leauge team. Sometimes I (and I'm sure many others) wonder if he just has vendettas... against 13 different teams....

He should have been fired a long time ago.

STAMP · « **Reply #57 on:** June 02, 2010, 09:42:04 PM »

I am SOOOOOOOOOO ticked off at this ump right now I can't even see straight! All I know is Bud Selig ought to go in and reverse the call. He has the power to do so. There are unwritten rules for umps, too, and this Joyce just broke one even more egregious than A-Fraud running over the mound. JOYCE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!!!

I slept on the issue at hand and feel much better today. here is what I posted on the Big League Stew blog at Yahoo.com reagrding whether Bud Selig should change the outcome to a perfect game:

Quote from: STAMP

This is a change that Bud Selig can safely administer. Why? It doesn't change the result of the game, i.e. win or loss. Several times during a season offical box scores are changed, e.g. errors to hits, doubles to singles, etc. They change the stats of those players involved but do not change the result of the game. Bud should change this game to be a perfect game for Galarraga and clearly specify the reasoning. This will be enough to prevent any issues with playoff games.

Regarding Joyce, I feel so bad for him right now. I have umped many baseball games. I have made some bad calls. I am human. But there wasn't a replay to show my bad calls. As a result, I have stood by 100% of my calls in official capacities. Of course, that doesn't mean I haven't talked with my fellow umps about such calls. Umps, including Joyce, should look at this game as one of those once-in-a-lifetime occurences and continue to stand 100% behind their judgement calls. They have a tough job. The fact that Joyce became so emotional and admitted his error of judgement reveals the enormity of the situation.

Finally, precedent has been set in the past by Fay Vincent and other commissioners who have gone and changed a highly visible stat such as this one, namely reversing no-hitters.

Baseball will survive this whether it's changed or not. But I can tell you this, I told my son and will tell my future grandchildren and Lord willing, great-grandchildren, that Armando Galarraga was the 3rd pitcher to throw a perfect game in 2010, and the 21st overall.

Reviving this thread just to say that the American League East is potent this year. The Toronto Blue Jays are in fourth place, but their 33-25 record puts them on par with the first place team in every other division in baseball. In fact, they would be in first place in at least one other division.

My Dodgers are starting to impress even me.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #64 on:** June 08, 2010, 01:43:56 PM »

The Blue Jays were off to like a 30-15 start or something crazy last year. I just want to see if Baltimore is able to lose less than 120 games

.

(I also want to see Drew Butera, Brendan Harris, and Matt Tolbert race for a .001 batting average)

Yanks for the win! Been a Yank fan my whole life, and I am happy to know they have a great chance to repeat.. What about Granderson's grand slam tonight? Dang that was awesome!

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #66 on:** June 09, 2010, 01:21:47 AM »

I'm a die hard Yanks fan, but last month was embarrassing. They had a tough schedule, Red Sox, Tampa Bay, then the Twins, and could not come out with a win in any of the series. Although this month is different, yet they are playing Indians, Orioles, and teams like that.

What about Strasburg? 14 Ks, the 2nd most strikeouts this season...

THAT was impressive! This is turning out to be the year of the rookie. Mike Stanton of the Marlins was 3-5 in his debut. I might have to trade for all the fabulous rookies in fantasy: Strasburg, Stanton, Heyward, Castro, etc.

Oh, and my Dodgers are in 1ST PLACE, baby!

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #69 on:** June 09, 2010, 11:29:47 AM »

That is insane. Only Joel Zumaya is supposed to be able to throw 103.... Strasburg's velocity is probably still going up, too...

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #70 on:** June 09, 2010, 03:37:51 PM »

The most impressive part of Strasburg's grand opening was his poise under the intense scrutiny and excitement of the moment. He gives up a two-run home run, but instead of falling apart, he actually strikes out the side and mows them down the rest of the way.

xMr. Lemon Headx · « **Reply #71 on:** June 09, 2010, 05:38:36 PM »

Yanks will be fine.. Every team has a bad month or two during the regular season! No worries, Yanks have a great shot at the title come playoff time!

How about this rookie team:

C - Buster Posey
1B - Ike Davis, Justin Smoak
2B - Neil Walker
3B - David Freese
SS - Starlin Castro, Ian Desmond
OF - Jason Heyward
OF - Mike Stanton
OF - Brennan Boesch
OF - Austin Jackson
SP - Stephen Strasburg
SP - John Ely
SP - Mike Leake
SP - Jaime Garcia
SP - Wade Davis
RP - Drew Storen

HOLY COW! Steve, did you see that? We can field AN ALL-STAR TEAM!!!....OUT OF ROOKIES!!!!

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #74 on:** June 09, 2010, 06:48:08 PM »

Aren't the Giants playing Posey primarily as a first baseman? He's got 8 games there, and only two under the gun by my count.
