I'm not a Tigers fan, but as soon as I saw the title of this video I immediately had flashbacks to Galarraga. Poor guy's always gonna have an asterisk on him, but let's be real -- we all know he did it. He really did pitch a perfect game. And then after he was robbed of that because of somebody else's mistake, he responded with grace and empathy. Much respect to that dude.
This is for all the crapy umpires out in the universe including Joe West; Take a break for ten years because the calls you make are crazy and like the commentators said, " turn in your badges hang up your jackets and go home. I agree with this
HOF umpire Bill Klem threw Frankie Frisch out of a game once but he continued to argue with Klem and then suddenly collapsed to the ground. Lying motionless on the ground Klem calmly stood over him and said "dead or alive your still out of the game!"
It still hurts to see that perfect game blown save and I'm not a Tigers fan and this happened 9 years ago. But, as a baseball fan that knows how hard it is to get a perfect game....... it hurts so much.
The blown call at 6:21 almost cost the Giants the World Series. The Giants only clinched a postseason spot in the last game of the season. The Padres took the first two games of that last series against the Giants, so the Giants would have clinched a postseason spot an entire series before the end of the season.
His crew was prolly mad too, instead of gettin out there you went outta ur way to make a bad call and take us into extra innings. Would never wanna work w him again
I feel bad for Joyce. I didn't always, but time and understanding have lead me to see the whole picture, and I just feel bad for him. He was a damn good umpire who made the wrong call and it haunts him every day after that. Hearing about how he met with Gallaraga later that night and couldn't do anything but weap and apologize... that's not a guy who deserves the death threats and verbal abuse. Save those for Angel Hernandez 😉
Me watching baseball in 2019: "Damn I hate replay reviews, they're so annoying and they slow the game down." Me watching this video: "I thank the good Lord for creating the replay review."
@High Overlord Snarffie Beagle Oh yeah, well I threw a no-hitter on ZERO pitches. I kept intentionally walking batters, then picked them off one by one. Pitched 9 innings, 27 walks, 0 hits, 0 pitches thrown.
Jordan Rounds to be fair, Jim Joyce owned it shortly after the game. I can't be mad when the umpire says I BLEW IT. and the Tigers ON THE FIELD handled it great .... cuz that could be a riot.
David Hinton That's why I defend Jim Joyce. I'd defend West and Hernandez if they were to actually own up to their blown calls or where they let their temper get the best of them.
I’m from Detroit and I remember watching that game. It still kills me to this day. I know that Jim Joyce owned up to it but this game has forever tarnished his reputation to me and I can’t think of anything other than this game
Why? so now games are 15 minutes longer as managers stall on EVERY close play to allow some guy in the clubhouse to watch replay...and then the replay official will often change CORRECT calls on the field to incorrect ones?
How Ryan Howard got screwed by that 3rd base Umpire was highway robbery. He totally framed a perfect check swing, doesn't get the call, AND gets thrown out the game. Unbelievable.
+Trevor Patience "The only thing I regret is the helmet hitting him," Lawrie said. "I never meant to do that, and it shows. I threw it off the ground, it took a bad hop and it hit him totally by accident. I never meant to throw it at him."
He's one of those old fuck narcissists who gets in to something like that so he can have power over people. Those kind of people shouldn't even be put in charge of a lemonade stand
As a Tribe fan I watched that screwed up perfect game play live and I was really hoping Jason Donald would be like "I was out" and walk to the dugout. For a moment when he put his hands on his helmet after he was ruled safe I actually thought he might. Such a terrible call.
It’s kinda sad that Joyce’s credibility has plummeted over one miscall, I honestly don’t blame him because hindsight is 20/20. No matter how much of a good ump you are, you are going to miss one call at some point. He apologized afterwards and hopefully Detroit forgives him for it cause no one is perfect (kind of ironic I know).
Not penalties fines... big ones... big enough to make them rethink about trying to settle an argument with a player by just arbitrarily ejecting them from the game.
“HOW CAN THEY OVER RULE THIS!?” - Keith “How could someone POSSIBLY see it better than the home plate umpire” - alt broadcast team. It gets over turned.
The interesting thing is they got it right yet it's still considered bad umpiring because it certainly seems like they were persuaded by the player and didn't actually see it. There's no way the 2nd base up could see that.
There is another one from a Cubs @ Dodgers game that was left out where Silva gets ejected in July Also at 1:28, the Padres also had that very same call go against them in August of 2009. Literally the EXACT SAME scenario as that one, except the 2009 call resulted in Bud Black being ejected
CodingCrusader1095 I’m with you for the most part but i don’t get how the point the original dude was making was relevant. If YT doesn’t mean TH-cam, I’m lost.
@CodingCrusader1095 Those unions are the reason you weren't getting paid cents on the dollar for your trade with zero job security and no workplace regulations. And now you're getting paid more, but now you have no health care and no job security. Smart move. History needs to be better taught in schools. Because too many people apparently want to go back to the days of child labor, dying on the job either from workplace neglect or exhaustion, and having their wages paid in literal Monopoly money.
@ 5:27, you can see the where the ball landed in the glove and bounced into the fielder's palm. That's a good call. Even the view from the front shows the ball landing in the glove.
And the announcers that were whining about the changed call was actually the Reds announcers. I think they were whining because they don't see how the umpires could change that call when they were 100 feet away.
it's really amazing how these players resist hitting these umpires when they blow these calls it makes it really hard to watch the game when the league does nothing about it
The galaraga call is absolutely the worst thing ever to happen in sports. You have a guy that just accomplished the hardest thing to do in team sports and it's blown by a bad call. That call shouldve been over turned then and the fact that it wasn't is disgusting. Still almost brings me to tears watching it today.
You can definitely get thrown out, even if you're not up in his face. You are automatically fined if you bump an ump, so I think Wigginton was trying to get as close as possible without bumping. Don't think it worked. And yeah, it looked pretty silly.
There are some bad ones, but what's with including plays that are razor close or within inches? Getting one look at a very close play is considered a blown call or bad umpiring?
Paul Z ya start fining umps for missing calls that you can only easily see in slow motion. That's like fining players for errors dumbest thing I have heard
Paul Z Do you even watch baseball? They've got replay, the only thing the umps ever screw up is balls and strikes. But I'd like to see you do better at judging the exact location of a 99 mph fastball or a curveball that breaks 18 inches.
Balk is a stupid thing in the first place. I dont get why its still a thing unless it is blatantly tricking and confusing the baserunner with how much it looks like it is going towards the plate.
Drogon because a balk is literally tricking the base runner and batter. Lol. Those were balks, meant to pick someone off by giving the illusion of pitching. They were good calls.
@@Nferrone1 I disagree. If that's a balk, then every lefty balks every time they make a pickoff move. I think it's a damned good move. Watch video of Andy Petit pickoffs. It's the same move and Andy had one of the best pickoff moves ever.
So, out of curiousity as i dont know alot about the rules of Baseball....but if some of these clearly awful calls were made clearly obvious after a replay, does the call get overturned or does the Umpire who made the call's word law?
All of these look like definitely blown calls the first time. But after carefully watching the replays u can tell the umpires got a few of these calls right and still had endure the berating of the fans, players, coaches, announcers, ect. Still great video tho. 👍
Jim Joyce's call will go down as the most tragic in history. Taking a perfect game away. Even if it was close you have to give that to him. Unbelievable.
David Kitchens while Joyce was obviously wrong with his call, your logic is also wrong. Just because someone is that close to perfection doesn't mean they deserve a call.
bosoxdanc funny thing is that he wasn’t even close to being safe it was very evident that he touched the plate first before the runner was even close to stepping on it
Brian Perez That's the weird part. He was 3 feet from the bag. Not even close. Makes you wonder if Joyce had some ulterior motive. When Joyce starts barking afterward it seems he's angry. Why? I think it would have been cool if the base runner told the ump he was out. I wonder how he'd react to that admission.
The hard part was the last two was a perfect game. I'm glad Jim Joyce appologized for the mistake. I wish all umpires were like that. I wonder how many umpires would have appologized for ruining a perfect game.
I feel so bad for the tigers pitcher he had a perfect game. Jim Joyce blew it and ruined for the team and all the the tigers fans and for the city of Detroit
Wow you all are so wrong. First they are right that call is fucking awful. And both announcers got fired because they weren't homers. They were very critical of the bad teams and stupid moves they made. Rich Waltz and Tommy Hutton were fantastic. Super real. And the Marlins had so many sucky years and they announced like real fans with excitement and with anger.
Nicholas MacKenzie not true. It’s where the ball hits the ground first after passing the bag. Since it took a bounce over the bag, it can be viewed as fair or foul based on when it first hits the ground after passing it
@@jackharrington4124 nope. Where the ball passes the third base bag on a ground ball. Fly ball or line drive that hits the ground after the bag matters where it lands. A groundball can pass over the bag fair and land foul. It is still a fair ball.
the best/worst thing about that jim joyce call is that he beats himself up for it and says in a interview "i took that damn ballgame away from that kid" and he feels bad about it and he knows he screwed up

That blown call at 1st that ruined Galarraga's perfect game breaks my heart every time I see it.
@Crazy Ohioan Cars, Guns, and Gaming they wrote a book about and it's quite beautiful actually
I’m still sad about it.
Jim Joyce "I kicked the Sh!t out of that call" The only umpire that has ever admitted he was wrong. th-cam.com/video/Dp8ST0WidfA/w-d-xo.html
Going to be honest, that guy got more fame for the blown call than for an actual perfect game.
Jim Joyce could single handedly save the world from an alien invasion and he would still be remembered for this one bad call
He has twice, but like you said its never going to get any coverage.
Angel Hernandez and Joe West on the same ump crew? That's a war crime!
Exactly wat I was thinking
NewWaveFan1 maaaaaan I was bout to say the same thing
So did the umpires in the Sox game get suspended??
I was about to type the same thing!!!
Let's be fair here, any game with those 2 is a war crime.
The chin fat shaking on joe west is classic
That isn’t classic, that’s sexy....😏😏
That fat slimeball should keel over from heart failure. Even as an Indian's fan, I couldn't help but hate on his terrible balk call.
This is for all the crapy umpires out in the universe including Joe West; Take a break for ten years because the calls you make are crazy and like the commentators said, " turn in your badges hang up your jackets and go home. I agree with this

Announcer mentions that Angel Hernandez is there.
Me: "I was wrong"

I think that was the only time Buehrle got tossed.
Both of them are trash.
Angel Hernandez: “Hold my beer”
"You're blind, ump/You're blind, ump/You must be out of your mind, ump..."
You know it is a bad call when even the runner is shocked by the call.

Me watching baseball in 2019: "Damn I hate replay reviews, they're so annoying and they slow the game down."

The Jim Joyce call was the reason they implemented replay review.
How did Joe West ever become an umpire?
@@TTFMjock That's a hard one to watch! I'm a life long Tigers fan.
They always get the replay thing wrong anyways so it's pointless
So funny. So true.
Gallaraga is the only pitcher in MLB history to record a perfect game while facing 28 batters.
He didn't record a perfect game, it was a 1 hitter.

"Joe looks like hes looking for problems" how could he be looking for problems if he cant see?
Good lord.... some terrible terrible calls in the last 20 years. WAIT WHAT?!?! These are all from one season!?!?!
firebirdude2 the start of the "even year" era for the San Francisco Giants, who would've thought?!?
That final play is so rough. A perfect game being taken away. That umpire is going to tear himself up for years to come.

I hate hawk as an announcer and Joe as an ump
Dude is beyond dumb and annoying. Time for HIM to retire
Joe West deserved every bit of it, too. Hawk probably stayed on the mic a few years too long, but Joe deserved ALL that.
Thank god we have review now
Amen!
As nice as it is to be able to change a blown call, I do enjoy watching a good argument between player/mgr vs "dumpire"
NOPC20161535 it still happens with bad calls for balls and strikes
Why? so now games are 15 minutes longer as managers stall on EVERY close play to allow some guy in the clubhouse to watch replay...and then the replay official will often change CORRECT calls on the field to incorrect ones?
why you ask? so people dont get screwed out of their accomplishments douchebag. instant replay in sports is essential for fairness of judgement calls.
How Ryan Howard got screwed by that 3rd base Umpire was highway robbery. He totally framed a perfect check swing, doesn't get the call, AND gets thrown out the game. Unbelievable.
He swung at the first one, and then the umpire decided to let his ego get in the way on the second one because Howard reacted the first time.
16:52 Even the runner is like "Oh sh**t I just ruined Galarraga's perfect game!"
Why do I watch videos like this? This shit's infuriating.
Grub-Xer0 facts
Grub-Xer0 i
Grub-Xer0 yea me too
Grub-Xer0 i agree
Why do I watch videos like this? .... as a HS ump it makes me feel better about the calls that I've blown.
Umpire:alright honey, I’m going to the game
Wife:do you have your contacts

@@kingding8468 sweet burn, bro
The only people they contact are bookies

I'm an Indians fan and that blown call for the perfect game is heartbreaking, even for me.
I feel bad for the third ump who has to ump with Joe West and Angel Hernandez, Probably so embarresed🥶
Its a 4 man crew in the MLB so there would be two other umps, not just the one.
@Lisa Flah in that situation, you're just there for the paycheck and hope that you make it out without being mobbed in the parking lot
@@ericwildfong
Don't forget Hernandez and West's seeing-eye dogs! ;þ
The first base umpire didn’t think it was a balk but angel Hernandez saw behind home plate a travesty
Hernandez and West in the same game is incompetant disaster neither one belongs in the game
None of this would have happened if we had Greg Gibson, the home plate umpire, motioning to both players
yea Greg Gibson the home plate umpire wouldnt have made any bad calls while motioning to both players
9:45 - Angel Hernandez AND Joe West on the same crew - MLB just begging for an entire game to be riddled with umpiring errors 😂😂
I just wonder if a manager or player one day will snap & just punch an umpire in the face for blowing a call
I've often wondered about that too. Closest I've seen was Brett Lawrie accidentally hitting the umpire with his helmet.
Baseball Cinema that was not accidental
+Trevor Patience "The only thing I regret is the helmet hitting him," Lawrie said. "I never meant to do that, and it shows. I threw it off the ground, it took a bad hop and it hit him totally by accident. I never meant to throw it at him."
Paul Z they would be suspended
Paul Z It happened in the DR, Jose Offerman swung at an umpire, its here on youtube if you want to see it.
This made my blood pressure go up. Definitely shouldn't have watched this 😂
+1. Felt the same too.
Years later, that blown call for the perfect game still hurts and I’m still mad to this day. Not even a Detroit fan but OOF I was furious
Even without the blown perfect game, this was the first season where I started to notice just how god awful MLB umpires have become.
Yep
Love the fact that you had both broadcast teams on a lot of them. Nice to see the arguments from both sides
Joe West just loves to abuse the power he has and just throws out players/managers as he pleases
Bro I would love that job aswell XD
He's one of those old fuck narcissists who gets in to something like that so he can have power over people. Those kind of people shouldn't even be put in charge of a lemonade stand
Is this why in days of old, fans would clamor to have umpires' bodies and souls separated?
As a big twins fan (unfortunately lately) this vid is awesome! The first half of the vid is all twins getting bad calls to go their way!!
The orioles first baseman bump umpire, white sox balks, and the Mets manager ejections are way too funny.🤣🤣😂😂⚾️

those 2 should not be allowed in the state together, let alone the same field!

Not penalties fines... big ones... big enough to make them rethink about trying to settle an argument with a player by just arbitrarily ejecting them from the game.

Yeah everybody that makes a mistake on the job should be penalized; no humans allowed!
Ya fine them a 100k out of their million dollar salary. Oh wait.
Joyce at least admitted almost immediately after the game that he botched the call
The perfect game being taken is so hard to watch, it makes me sick.
already with the help of the review, MLB should grant the perfect game to Galarraga, that play was not even doubtful
The fair or foul reaction is hilarious

3:40 the ump wasn't even looking at the ball when it bounced in fair territory.
I know right!
If you look, the first bounce kicks up dirt foul right in front of the plate. But they don’t show that bounce on the second replay.
Gringo Bandito ur right
The umpire saw it bounce foul to start, but didn't even see the ball go OVER the 3rd base bag .... the bag itself is FAIR.
he going by over the bag not where it landed
Joe West and Angel Hernandez were the reasons instant replay was being mentioned..... Jim Joyce just closed the deal on his bad call...
Even the base runner looked upset at the Galarraga call

How Jim Joyce can sleep at night is amazing. Biggest blown call ever

@ 5:27, you can see the where the ball landed in the glove and bounced into the fielder's palm. That's a good call. Even the view from the front shows the ball landing in the glove.
13:20
I just love how the announcers whining about the missed call switch to whining about how they got the call right!
And the announcers that were whining about the changed call was actually the Reds announcers. I think they were whining because they don't see how the umpires could change that call when they were 100 feet away.
I think they were just insulting the home plate umpire. Like how can you be so blind to miss something that a dude 100 feet away can see.
Pretty sure the second part of the clip was from the other teams’s announcers
MLB gotta stop gettin these old ass umpires cause they can't see shit
Not a lot of incentive to retire when you're making a comfy $300k a year, lol

Daniel Varney roids
He must’ve been... Wiggin Out lmao

You can't get thrown out if you're technically not up in his face. It was all in vain anyways.
You can definitely get thrown out, even if you're not up in his face. You are automatically fined if you bump an ump, so I think Wigginton was trying to get as close as possible without bumping. Don't think it worked. And yeah, it looked pretty silly.
There are some bad ones, but what's with including plays that are razor close or within inches? Getting one look at a very close play is considered a blown call or bad umpiring?
Shoeless Joe Jackson belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
This is why MLB needs review of umpires. Start fining umpires or suspending them

10:47 well.... the second call looks accurate to me, he is clearly moving toward home plate.
Balk is a stupid thing in the first place. I dont get why its still a thing unless it is blatantly tricking and confusing the baserunner with how much it looks like it is going towards the plate.
Drogon because a balk is literally tricking the base runner and batter. Lol. Those were balks, meant to pick someone off by giving the illusion of pitching. They were good calls.
He moved toward home plate, that’s pretty clearly a balk
@@Nferrone1 I disagree. If that's a balk, then every lefty balks every time they make a pickoff move. I think it's a damned good move. Watch video of Andy Petit pickoffs. It's the same move and Andy had one of the best pickoff moves ever.
Nothing beats the Don Denkenger call in the 1985 World Series...at first base.
6:16 you know you're wrong when Jeter argues.
If Jeter told you to jump off a cliff...
Yea exactly. 1st thing I thought when I saw his reaction.
Fuck Jeter.
freeyourmindtc coundt have said it better Lmao
The last part. Even the runner was shocked. Worst blown call ever
So, out of curiousity as i dont know alot about the rules of Baseball....but if some of these clearly awful calls were made clearly obvious after a replay, does the call get overturned or does the Umpire who made the call's word law?
All of these look like definitely blown calls the first time. But after carefully watching the replays u can tell the umpires got a few of these calls right and still had endure the berating of the fans, players, coaches, announcers, ect. Still great video tho. 👍
10:27. Joe West man. Look at that shit shake
Unions, lol.
Joe West is a disgrace to the game.
West thinks the fans come to see HIM.
Yeah, Joe sucks but Bob Davidson was the worst imo. He'd toss anyone that even looked like they were going to argue with him. Even fans!
Oh, Bob Davidson. Holy shit. Fuck that guy.
Thanks for posting this video. You just made my day! Keep on posting more blown call videos if you wish. Again, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! :)
The look on poor Galaraga's face after that fair call. How can he smile knowing he got robbed of a perfect game?
It’s heartbreaking to see players robbed by men on the take.
Jim Joyce's call will go down as the most tragic in history. Taking a perfect game away. Even if it was close you have to give that to him. Unbelievable.
David Kitchens while Joyce was obviously wrong with his call, your logic is also wrong. Just because someone is that close to perfection doesn't mean they deserve a call.
bosoxdanc funny thing is that he wasn’t even close to being safe it was very evident that he touched the plate first before the runner was even close to stepping on it
Brian Perez That's the weird part. He was 3 feet from the bag. Not even close. Makes you wonder if Joyce had some ulterior motive. When Joyce starts barking afterward it seems he's angry. Why? I think it would have been cool if the base runner told the ump he was out. I wonder how he'd react to that admission.
2nd place goes to that 19 inning game. Pretty sure he only called that because he wanted to go home
The hard part was the last two was a perfect game. I'm glad Jim Joyce appologized for the mistake. I wish all umpires were like that. I wonder how many umpires would have appologized for ruining a perfect game.
This is a hard video to watch without screaming for retribution.
I feel so bad for the tigers pitcher he had a perfect game. Jim Joyce blew it and ruined for the team and all the the tigers fans and for the city of Detroit
3:34 those Marlins announcers... 💀😂😂
They're so annoying and bias. They need to go through puberty too cuz therre voices are so god damn high.
Biggest Savage
lmao true. Biased af
Just like Hawk.
Wow you all are so wrong. First they are right that call is fucking awful. And both announcers got fired because they weren't homers. They were very critical of the bad teams and stupid moves they made. Rich Waltz and Tommy Hutton were fantastic. Super real. And the Marlins had so many sucky years and they announced like real fans with excitement and with anger.
Vin Scully is an absolute legend. Replay obviously shows Dodgers got a call they shouldn't have and VS says "Well, you make the call" haha
NGL, I'm a little disappointed in Vin for that one.
I’m not sure how this works but after the replay they change the call to the correct one right?
“it goes over the bag.... OH WHAT A TERRIBLE CALL!”
3:30 he took his eyes off the ball before it even hit the outfield and made a big premature call
A ground ball just needs to pass over the base fair. Wherever it lands afterwards doesn't matter. Still the wrong call but for a different reason.
@@nicholasmackenzie1647 what I said doesn't conflict with what you're saying. It would have been more clear if I said "bag" instead of "outfield"
@@LJTPerry91 but the ball didn't hit the bag. The call wasn't premature. Just bad.
Nicholas MacKenzie not true. It’s where the ball hits the ground first after passing the bag. Since it took a bounce over the bag, it can be viewed as fair or foul based on when it first hits the ground after passing it
@@jackharrington4124 nope. Where the ball passes the third base bag on a ground ball. Fly ball or line drive that hits the ground after the bag matters where it lands. A groundball can pass over the bag fair and land foul. It is still a fair ball.
the best/worst thing about that jim joyce call is that he beats himself up for it and says in a interview "i took that damn ballgame away from that kid" and he feels bad about it and he knows he screwed up
