In your opinion

I say yes as well. At the very least it will damper much of the fire that Joyce has been under and lets Galarraga have his rightful place in history. But as it stands now and probably will stand this is a lose-lose situation. Galarraga doesn't get his perfect game and unfortunately Joyce will live in infamy. I guess if there is a silver lining it is the class that Galarraga, Joyce and the Tigers organization showed in the aftermath of the situation.

I am sick of the "purity of the game" argument to justify not using instant replay to its full capability and not overturning a call that was blatantly missed. Every major sport's league has evolved in some way or another over time and hopefully this situation is a wake up call that its time to do the same with MLB.

I say he should have. I agree, it was the last play and it should have been his.

Baseball is too conservative with most poo anyways. They want everything to stay the same, but the game has changed anyways. Those records from the 19th century are still there, but you can't honestly tell yourself it's the same poo today.

Whatever, he should have his perfect game. Nobody wins in the current situation, as is.

No. It sucks that it happened, but no overturning should happen on the following day. If he were there and wanted to overturn it when it happened then fine. But not the next day.

It sucks, but Gallaraga will be remembered for a long time b/c of this rather than had he been acknowledged with pitching an official perfect game. Does anybody even remember the guy that pitched a perfect game last month (other than Halladay)?

Most people have already forgotten Dallas Braden, but Gallaraga will be remembered for quite a while b/c of this screwjob.

I say yes, but on the other hand, the 85 Cardinals would be first in line to bitch and complain about Denkinger and demand that something be done.

In this case, it was the last out of the game, he was clearly out, everyone said he was, so I think he should have made a special exemption and call the guy out and give him the perfecto.

    • BB building a NFL caliber program. We training entirely different. The guys we had this year will be stronger, smarter, faster. The transfers are coming.    Im more worried about the QB position. We have to hit on that guy.
    • https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3162765/report-forsberg-vejmelka-vladar-on-hurricanes-radar The Carolina Hurricanes are eyeing a trio of goaltenders to fortify their depth between the pipes. Ottawa's Anton Forsberg, Utah's Karel Vejmelka, and Calgary's Dan Vladar are on Carolina's radar, reports The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun. However, none of those teams are in sell mode yet and might not be at all depending on how their seasons go, LeBrun notes. All three goalies are pending unrestricted free agents. Forsberg has posted an .889 save percentage in 11 games with the Senators this campaign as Linus Ullmark's backup. The 32-year-old journeyman previously spent time in Raleigh during in 2019-20. Vejmelka has emerged as Utah's starter this season, registering a sparkling .915 save percentage in 17 appearances. Vladar has struggled with an .885 save percentage in 16 games while sharing the Flames' crease with Dustin Wolf. The Canes also reportedly spoke to the Anaheim Ducks about John Gibson after missing out on Mackenzie Blackwood, who was dealt to the Colorado Avalanche on Dec. 9. Pyotr Kochetkov has struggled with an .895 save percentage in 18 games as Carolina's No. 1 goalie this season. Veteran netminder Frederik Andersen hasn't played since October and was given an eight-week timeline after undergoing knee surgery in late November.
    • I haven’t seen him play, but if he doesn’t get separation and he’s slow, that doesn’t sound like a top 5 WR
