He couldn't, Miggy had to go to his right to get the ball. It was probably an easier play for the 2nd baseman who was behind Caberra. So there was really nowhere else Joyce could go without possibly interfering with the play.

He was were he belonged. If for some reason he thought he was out of position he should have asked for help and then maybe the right call would have been made.

Seriously, I did this for awhile..2-3 steps and he gets the whole panarama of play. He should've been willing to ask for help.

He wasnt out of position nor did he not see the play. Jesus, the guy blew the call and truthfully it is the absolute best thing that happened to Galarraga. Had he thrown a "typical" perfect game he would soon be forgotten like Len Barker or Mike Witt. Instead he has his own unique place in baseball history.

Yeah I do kind of agree, but think about all that money he is going to lose from those autograph shows 15-20 years down the road.

I think he will profit from this. It isnt as though Denny Martinez, Len Barker or Mike Witt are big names on the autograph curcuit. He will always be known as the guy who got screwed by the umps which led to MLB using replay. That is going to happen. Seriously who is going to be more remembered? This guy or Dallas Braden?

I guess we shouldn't base it on who threw it, but I agree. I'm not crying about a (so far) inconsistent guy going unrewarded for a freak job. If it was Carpenter, Oswalt etc., then it'd be different. I think people need to start to question why hitters aren't making this more rare. Bad calls have been around a while. Perfect games being thrown every couple of weeks should be a concern.

Did you see the lineup Cleveland fielded last night? If baseball could be translated to beyers, last nights game would have been a raw number of 114 but been published as a 78. Choo is the only player who could start for most major league teams.

The angle was fine. The guy was in the right position. He simply blew the call
