Did an ump screw up another one but gave Humber the PG? I thought it was a clear check swing and ball 4. They havn't shown any views of the pitch or I havnt seen any different angles, and its something the media is not coming close to touching. Interesting what Jim Joyce had to endure what he did and not one mention of the questionable call this last strike was. Armando Galarraga should have Perfect Game # 21, and Humber should not have it. But, thats apart of the game, and these upmires, have choked in 2 consecutive last at bat calls in with perfect games in the balance. The umpires must feel the weight of how sacred and special a perfect game is. Also no umpire wants to be the next Jim Joyce deprive a pitcher of one of the rarest feats in the game that he earned... To blow a call in favor of a getting a PG is different though.
I guess I wish they at least addressed the closeness of the call more, and in no way reverse it. I would bet Galarraga and Jim Joyce would too
