+Michael Quindlen that's true and I do really appreciate Jim Joyce for that, especially when you consider how emotional he got because of how bad he felt
I'm a tigers fan and that wasn't just the worst call it was heartbreaking Im glad joyce is out, there's a'lot more who need to go back to umpire training C B Buckner Joe west I could go on for a'while!!!!!
One good thing though, at Least Jim Joyce was man enough to admit he made a mistake, which is a lot more than you can say for a lot of umpires. Funny thing is that Galarraga probably got more notoriety for NOT getting the perfect game. Didn't Joyce even hug him and take a picture with Galarraga? That's classy. I respect that a lot
The "batter" is actually relief pitcher Scott Procter(it's the 19th inning, so relief pitchers were batting) and while it's still really funny hes not a normal batter
@MANCHESTER UNITED The real question is, why the hell are you watching baseball videos? My second question is, why the hell would I give a cold dog turd about what is popular in the rest of the world?
This reminds me of that scene in The Naked Gun where in order to keep a bomb from going off at the end of a baseball game, Leslie Nelson dresses up as an Ump and can't let the game finish, so he makes terrible call after terrible call to keep it going. lol Go watch it, it's hilarious xD
Jim Joyce blew the call on Galarraga'a perfect game (around the 5:30 mark). After the game, Joyce was practically in tears, apologizing up and down for the blown call. After watching that, I had so much respect for Jim Joyce. He admitted he blew the call and he felt really bad about it. Galarraga was really cool about it too, if I remember correctly. What's even better is that Galarraga got the next batter out. So in reality, he pitched a perfect game with the opposing team getting an extra out. That's pretty amazing!
Agreed, highly debatable. You have to beat the throw as a general, unwritten rule. I'm not sure he did but either way, you can't really argue for it or against it.
Jim Joyce should have been suspended the whole year or fired for messing up Galaraggas perfect game when he was out by a whole step and was a bottom of the ninth with two outs instead he got to go on Good Morning America
That last one is hardly a "worst" call. That one is the true definition of a "bang bang" play. Almost simultaneous arrival. Could have gone either way.
T Orrent I'm sorry I have a huge migraine and I'm hopped up on my meds. Is there a link to the clip or is the clip in this video? I'm probably just an idiot and missing something super obvious.
I agree. The right field umpire was maybe no more than 20 feet from the ball when it reached the top part of the wall, and he's supposed to be watching the ball the whole time, but he obviously didn't. How could he have missed the kid's glove below the level of the top of the wall when the ball was caught? Fans are not allowed to touch the ball in any way till it clears the wall. If they do, it's interference.
Many of those calls were Williamsport worthy but nothing can ever top the blown perfect game call. To the Umps credit, he admitted it and was truly remorseful.
I really hope the MLB gives Galarraga a perfect game in the record books some day. It was the last out and he was out. There was no "what if", it was a perfect game
infield fly gets called when there are runners on base and the ball is popped up into the infield, when it's called the batter is automatically ruled out and the runners remain on their original bases. They do this to avoid fielders intentionally dropping balls to force double plays
+Noobkilla5861 infield fly rule is when there's runners in scoring position and the batter pops up and the fielder doesn't have to do anything extreme to make the play. When it's called the batter is automatically out whether the ball drops or is caught. The runners could stay on the bag or run of the ball does drop though
I'm a Cardinals fan, and even I have to admit that the infield fly rule was complete and utter bullshit. The Braves should've had the bases loaded. I mean, I won't complain about how it turned out, but it was a terrible call
Infield fly rule applies to any ball that can be caught with reasonable effort by the infielder. By the sheer fact that an infielder was camped under the ball (or tried to be) it met the reasonable effort condition, I believe it was the correct call.
Robert Erlandson no it’s a rule that was in place On February 24, 2014, Major League Baseball and the MLBPA jointly announced an experimental rule-rule 7.13-intended to increase player safety by eliminating "egregious" collisions at home plate. The rule went into effect starting with the 2014 season but starting in 2015 the rule was renumbered as rule 6.01 (i). Basically the catcher blocked the path without the ball making the runner go off course so Rule 7.13 at the time was I play calling it safe
That last call wasn't terrible, maybe if it's game 7 of the world series it belongs on the list, but it wasn't egregious or anything. Beyond that though, great video, I enjoyed it
That's why you do it the last game of your career. Can't suspend me if it's my last game; sure a fine will be imposed -- but not a suspension. And if your not going into the hall of fame, there's no reason to pay the fine either.
It seemed like the catcher never actually made contact with the runner using his glove because the runner pushed his arm away. Whether you are allowed to use your arms to protect against a tag like that, I'm not sure, but simply making the call that he didn't tag him with his glove seems accurate.
To this day I still get peeved when I see the replay of the fan reaching over the wall and taking the ball away from Tony Tarasco. As a lifelong Orioles fan that is one of the biggest gut punches with the '79 World Series a close second being up 3-1 and losing to the Bucs.
It's mind boggling to me that replays have been taken under review just fairly recently. With so many horrendous calls, why did it take the league so long to implement it?!
@@mattvillan4591 And people still fans of that garbage team in Houston rests my case. ASStros will never win another ring. They will be cursed. So glad the Nationals destroyed you in 2019 and the DODGERS are world champs in 2020....enjoy YOUR elimination by the small market Rays......hahahahaha!

If you want the full clip of that play they ruled that the catcher was blocking the plate. That makes it so the runner does not have to slide due to safety issues. It was a truly bad call.
Kohlton Clouser but I’ve been playing ball since I was 4 and my catcher blocked the plate when I threw it home one time, and he tagged him. He called him out and he was going for the ball, that’s a legit excuse, same with mine he went for the ball
+Greysen Gagné The play with Oryiz, the slider was a strike. The way McCann caught it made it look like a ball. Look at the pitch tracker. Salty that NY has 27 rings huh?
+PandaPabloDoe the 2nd strike was within the zone on statcast,so I understand it.it crossed the plate as a strike, but it crossed McCann up. 3rd strike was a ball, totally agree.
I think with the very last clip, it's so close there's no real way you could overturn it. That play was incredibly close, so they have to revert to the tie goes to the runner rule.
As an Angels fan, the bad calls in the 05 ALCS and the 09 ALCS still sting: Home Plate ump pumps his fist "out" after Pierzynski strikes out swinging, then changes his mind just cuz he ran? Even took thee seconds after he reached first to think before changing it. unbelievable! And then two Yankees caught out standing off the bag at third but the ump only calls one out??? I'm still cringing 7 years later
1. Tie goes to the runner is a misconception. Bang bang plays are in the umpire's judgement which is very often completely right. 2. It was during a potential no hitter
Worst one there was Galarraga's perfect game blown by Jim Joyce because of the significance of the game. But the real worst one just on sheer incompetence of an umpire has to be Pittsburgh vs Atlanta. To have a call that bad, to end the game and give the team the winning run. The last one was nowhere near a bad call, let alone one of the worst. It was a typical close play that happens frequently. Miller vs Ortiz was the third worst one.
I think this pitch is on the clip only because of the next one. It's interesting because I get the feeling the ump was influenced by both Papi's and John Farrell's reaction to the first (correct) call and called the next one a strike!
Stuart Livermore Yes. The catcher slightly mishandled the ball, pushing it into the outside box. When it crossed the plate it was a strike. that's what matters.
Looked outside (can't say myself if it was outside, looked like it even on the tracker) which is why everyone was fired up, and then the next clip showed a definite ball called a strike
technically speaking by the rules its actually a ball cause less than half the ball was in the strike zone typically you get that pitch from umps but that ump absolutely had it out for David that game. David never ever gets that angry at a call and did you see in the smug look on the umps face after?
The Gallaraga/Jim Joyce call still haunts me to this day. A perfect game taken away and not overturned by Selig even though Joyce admitted to it. Awful.
Yea it does look like he swiped air. I think it might've been the right call. It's soo hard to really see, but my first inclination after the replay is that he missed the tag but what a shtty way to end the game on what it seemingly an easy out.
Luke Skyballer No way. Worst call was Jim Joyce calling the runner safe to take away a perfect game. To his credit though, he stood up like a man and admitted that he booted that call. I don’t think anyone felt worse about it than Jim Joyce did. You gotta respect a man who stands up like that and says he muffed the call. I felt terrible for Gallaraga, but I gained a tremendous amount of respect for Jim Joyce. They’re only human after all. That would be awesome to be a MLB umpire.
Max Berglind the runner would’ve reacted if he missed the tag, but he was already starting to walk off the field. Plus, the umpire later said that he got it wrong
I think with the Detroit perfect game call they should have credited the pitcher with a no-hitter. If you look it up you will see that the day after the next game they play the umpire who made the bad call apologized and ended up crying.
There is no rule that says the tie goes to the runner. However a rule does say that the ball must beat the player to the base so you could say that means that in a tie the ball didn't beat the runner so he's safe.
8:15 u sure? McCann was looking ready to catch it inside but he akwardly adjusted to outside. And since he caught it way back behind the plate it created the illusion of a ball. If u were watching live the overhead view shows it just paints the outside corner in front. Good call. But the second one is probably a ball
I'm not even a Detroit fan but that call that robbed the perfect game makes me cry every time I see it
Amen brotha
I'm a Cleveland fan and I'm feel the same way
It was brutal, but at least Jim Joyce admitted he blew the call and apologized to Galarraga.
+Michael Quindlen that's true and I do really appreciate Jim Joyce for that, especially when you consider how emotional he got because of how bad he felt

I think the umpire was like, "screw it, it's 2am, I'm tired, and I wanna go home"
Worst one there was Galarraga's perfect game blown by Jim Joyce because of the significance of the game. But the real worst one just on sheer incompetence of an umpire has to be Pittsburgh vs Atlanta. To have a call that bad, to end the game and give the team the winning run. The last one was nowhere near a bad call, let alone one of the worst. It was a typical close play that happens frequently. Miller vs Ortiz was the third worst one.
Wow no wonder the Yankees won so many World Series! They get all the calls their way!!! 🙄
8:12 According to the pitch tracker, that was a strike. So....good call?
I'd say so, but it looks like a pitch really outside because of the break and where the catcher caught it.
I think this pitch is on the clip only because of the next one. It's interesting because I get the feeling the ump was influenced by both Papi's and John Farrell's reaction to the first (correct) call and called the next one a strike!
Stuart Livermore Yes. The catcher slightly mishandled the ball, pushing it into the outside box. When it crossed the plate it was a strike. that's what matters.
Looked outside (can't say myself if it was outside, looked like it even on the tracker) which is why everyone was fired up, and then the next clip showed a definite ball called a strike
technically speaking by the rules its actually a ball cause less than half the ball was in the strike zone typically you get that pitch from umps but that ump absolutely had it out for David that game. David never ever gets that angry at a call and did you see in the smug look on the umps face after?
The Gallaraga/Jim Joyce call still haunts me to this day. A perfect game taken away and not overturned by Selig even though Joyce admitted to it. Awful.
he probably dropped the ball for a second.
3:49 Girardi waving his index in the ump's face is still hilarious haha
Paul Lebel I know right?
The infield fly call is so bad it's ridiculous...
They should be allowed to hit the umpires
Logan No stupid ass that would be aggravated assault
After watching that play at 9:57 over and over, I don't think he tagged him. It looks like the catchers glove goes up and never comes in contact.
Me too
9:36 was definitely the greatest worst call of the video and possibly in the entire MLB.
Yea it does look like he swiped air. I think it might've been the right call. It's soo hard to really see, but my first inclination after the replay is that he missed the tag but what a shtty way to end the game on what it seemingly an easy out.
Skullkrane Entertainment cervelli (catcher) missed the runner by an inch or two on the tag just watch the replay
Skullkrane Entertainment Cervelli actually tagged him out. It was later shown on ESPN that night.
Luke Skyballer No way. Worst call was Jim Joyce calling the runner safe to take away a perfect game. To his credit though, he stood up like a man and admitted that he booted that call. I don’t think anyone felt worse about it than Jim Joyce did. You gotta respect a man who stands up like that and says he muffed the call. I felt terrible for Gallaraga, but I gained a tremendous amount of respect for Jim Joyce. They’re only human after all. That would be awesome to be a MLB umpire.
Max Berglind the runner would’ve reacted if he missed the tag, but he was already starting to walk off the field. Plus, the umpire later said that he got it wrong
The pirate 19 inning game call was so bad I don’t know how that umpire still has a job my dude 🤦♀️
I actually believe it was the correct call. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/YABX_zW-6Kc/видео.html
I’m surprised angel Hernandez is still here to
Dumb umpires
9:01 the umpire is smiling as if he accomplished something. But the only thing he accomplished was stigma
I hate replay but this is exactly why baseball needs it
9:53 he fell lol
Lmaoaooo
lol that last call was as close as it gets. How was that a terrible call?
So true. he juuuust got him, when you look at the slo-mo, but there is no way that the ump is gonna see it. He would say: tie goes to the runner.
That was a terrible play for this video!!
That first one Nathan was like "Well, damn", but then like "Oh, ok"
I think with the Detroit perfect game call they should have credited the pitcher with a no-hitter. If you look it up you will see that the day after the next game they play the umpire who made the bad call apologized and ended up crying.
ugh. bring on robot umpires NOW please.
No doubt
No way
If you actually watch baseball... this is the last thing you would want to happen
8:12 hit the zone according to that tracking system...
that is correct
Papi bitches about everything
Nastiest pitch I’ve seen
Bingo. It was a perfect pitch. It shouldn't be in this clip at all.
need automatic strike zone
0:04 even the pitcher of the opposing team was stunned
I like how the pitcher at 0:05 is even shocked
edwards house I would’ve
That last one wasn't a 'worst call', it was a very close play. If it's too close to call, it goes the runner automatically.
No it doesn't lol...that's not a rule
It's not a rule, but it is generally adhered to. As an umpire myself, I should know this.
I thought it was a tie goes to the runner.
There is no rule that says the tie goes to the runner. However a rule does say that the ball must beat the player to the base so you could say that means that in a tie the ball didn't beat the runner so he's safe.
Exactly, the rule doesn't ever quote the words "Tie goes to the runner", but a tie does go to the runner by rule.
9:33 I though McCutchen was black .._..
Are you trying to make a joke or are you just stupid?
Your racist
Todd Parker how is he racist? That doesn’t make sense.
Where are the outside pitches that were called strikes for so many years by Tom Glavin and Tommy Maddux?
Those are called Glavine strikes.
i think u mean greg maddux
tommy maddux was in the XFL
And the inside strikes called for koufax and drysdale in the 60s
Anybody else notice how many breaks the Yankees keep getting in these playoff games or close games at home?
It's kinda funny watching the coaches and umpires yell at each other
I swear, the Yankees get so many bad calls in their favor...
i know Jim Joyce personally, and i never let him hear the end of it with that call
8:15 u sure? McCann was looking ready to catch it inside but he akwardly adjusted to outside. And since he caught it way back behind the plate it created the illusion of a ball. If u were watching live the overhead view shows it just paints the outside corner in front. Good call. But the second one is probably a ball
Neither pitch was close.
bro mccann caught it wayyy back from home plate. And he akwardly caught it which created the illusion. The overhead view shows a strike...
You are as blind as the ump!
U just don't wan't to admit it. There is a definitive view on the overhead camera that shows it is a strike. The second one wasnt close though
Yeah it is a stretch to say it was a strike. Even in slow motion it is a ball. What is more the ump was calling this pitch a ball previously.
I love The Angels! What a great play by Konger to get both runners!
God that infield fly rule in the Braves Cards game still causes me physical pain
