still bums me that the official scorekeeper didn’t call that an error instead of leaving it a hit - at least the dude would have got a no-hitter....
First thing I thought of too, crip. Where is that pitcher today?
Trivia question, what pitchers threw no-hitters in 2010?
tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..........beep?
Typical answer will be "I don't know...."
Another trivia question: What pitcher in 2010 was denied a perfect game due to a blown call by an umpire?
Answer: Armando Galarraga and the umpire was Jim Joyce.........LOL!
If I was a player and looking for fame, this would have been the perfect scenario..and I'd likely send Jim Joyce and his wife a Christmas flower arrangement for the rest of my life..........
Baseball is a game played by really good "kids" and officiated by humans. Bad calls have always been made and they will continue to do so. That's just a reflection on the imperfection of those who play it and those who officiate it...........It is what it is and any attempt to refine it and convert it to technological scrutiny will destroy the game forever.
