Yeah, it was a blown call and it sucks. I feel bad for the guy (and the ump). But that is baseball and hopefully this blown call leads to instant replay but I don't really like the idea of retroactively changing calls. Are they going to go back to every game in the MLB library where the pitcher had 26 straight outs before giving up a hit and check that every single one was truly a hit? Then what, do we have to look at no hitters next? Shutouts? Should anyone that hit .398 or .399 in a season have all their hits reviewed to see if there were any they were robbed of by a bad call and we should now give them a .400 season?

They actually did look at no hitters years back & struck many of them from the record books based on the official definition...

Not because of bad calls.

The point is...it can be changed if they want to do it. And they are considering it.

The "dangerous precedent" and "big can of worms" argument is a chicken sh*t response to a once in a lifetime play & event.

Every once in awhile, leaders need to snap in their spine & do the right thing. Hopefully this will be one of those times.
