Well.... alright. Don't take me the wrong way, especially Tiger fans. Yes, it was a clear mistake. However, he DID do the right thing. You don't want him to change this around -- it will only lead to other calls in games (maybe not as controversial) but still none the less, that are debated and should be changed around. It would have been a true mess. The truth is that baseball needs to get with the damn times, INSTANT REPLAY.

hes an idiot point blank, 2nd worst decision in his mlb career

 

[elcheato]

An individual accolade not being rewarded is the 2nd worst decision made by him? Please.. He's made much worse that impact the whole league

 

[diehardyankees25]

i cant wait for this dude to leave....hes worst than the nfl commish

 

[Mexi]

it would have just opened a pandora's box

he threw a perfecto in everyone's mind. and luckily, AG feels ok about it
he actually ends up getting even more famous because of it.

 

[diehardyankees25]

i agree with that...i feel bad for gallaraga...but hey he got a corvette out of it lol

 

[Mexi]

he'll be honored by the Tigers org im guessing

Luckily, this is ok

BUT, if this wasnt a perfect game and this was just a normal last out in a game that actually counts, wow.

im sure replay is coming

Can't fix stupid

Yeah, what's done is done I guess.

Selig did a terrific job deflecting our anger towards Joyce to himself.

Whatever Michiganders that didn't hate him before, surely do now.

Im not really made at anyone know. Selig did make the right desicion. This would have opened up tons of teams wanting <Censored> reviewed. So, I agree it was a good idea for Selig not to reverse this. And in everyones mind they know AG pitched a perfect game.

 

[RipCity32]

I don't see how this would make GM's want a ton of stuff reviewed, cause this incident is so unique that it will probably never happen again.

They can change the ruling, then look into changing replay in baseball.

this make no sense, your saying he made the right desicion by leaving the call as it is, 1st thing the whole baseball organization wanted this call to be over-turned, 2nd let replay open up more than what it is, why would you only use instant replay for Homeruns ?, occations like this is where we need the replay, so <Censored> like this won't happen ever again, the game right now is lopsided, and selig is looking like a fool every time he makes a bad desicion, this should of being a reverselable call..and yeah in everyone mind he pitched a perfect game, but it won't be marked as a perfect game in the record book.

EXACTLY. This is such a special case scenario that teams would understand that nothing else would get reviewed. This is utterly one of the dumbest decisions by a sports commisioner I have ever seen....

 

[diehardyankees25]

selig is not normal at all lol

 

[footballplaya52]

shoulda changed it

 

[elcheato]

A dumb decision is being the only major sport to not have a salary cap and letting the all-star game decide home field in the world series. Those a major decisions that Selig screwed up on, this thing is just minor.

 

[diehardyankees25]

dont forget, hes the only dumb commish to call of allstar game tied

Ok but those are problems that could take a while to change, and will change the outcome of an entire season and the game of baseball..
Changing it to a perfect game does not change the outcome of that game or the outcome the MLB in general.
