Detroit pitcher Armando Galarraga pitcher lost a perfect game tonight in Detroit on a blown call by first base umpire Jim Joyce. Indian batter Jaon Donald was rules safe on a play that realys confirmed wasn’t even close. Now, instead of a young pitcher acheiving his lifelong dream of pitching the perfect game, he has to accept the 1-hit shutout all because of bad call and pathetic rules by the MLB. Indeed, this is sad for everyone invloved because the umprire can never give that back to Galarraga who, statistically, will never approach perfection again. What would have been the 21st perfect game of all-time in baseball would have been the third this season and the second in just five days, another statistical anomoly. Perhaps the only good thing that can come of this is MLB finally addressing a solution for blown calls at first base. Then they can tackle inconsistent strikezones.
