[@Balin93]

Dez Bryant will always be famous for the balls he DIDN'T catch.

@@Alxnick what's the difference between a player's foot coming down out of bounds and his hand coming down out of bounds, when it's the first thing to make contact with the ground?

The worst call in sports history is probably against Gallarraga, completely blowing a perfect game.

That's just how rare this event is and it was completely blown on the last out of the game....

Totally agree. I’m not risking it if I’m Jim Joyce - that’s once in a lifetime stuff right there (if you’re lucky)! If it’s close, I’m calling out.

[@willowbrook2717]

@@bigstopowens If you want every play to be reviewable the games would slow to such a pace that they would be even harder to watch than they are now. And I would disagree with the other comment that every possible angle is covered. That is simply not true. Take the angle of the football looking like it was "clearly" inside the goal post. Was it really? Or did it appear that it was because of the angle? Perfection isn't the goal. Excellence is.

[@greathoonta3461]

Unless it’s a play that will completely effect who wins the game it shouldn’t. Hockey has been plagued by such reviewing and it really ruins the pace.

There is a law school which has actually sent a brief to Manfred to try to get that safe call on the Gallaraga game overturned.

Fantastic compilation!

[@blakeallen4967]

Great video! I misread the title and thought it meant calls that resulted in rule changes permanently altering the sport, which would also be a cool video.

[@andrewgranger3370]

The first call on Dez was the correct call. He came down out of bounds.

[@DMJoeBing]

Second clip was quite literally the WORST CALL EVER. One of many by Jim Joyce. Sad part is, the commissioner's office has the power to overturn the call back then and refused (precedent for that is the Pine Tar Incident). It would not have affected any statistics in a way that would have altered anything, just given a kid a perfect game.

[@inarar5334]

The difference between the Pine Tar rule and Joyce's blown call is that the pine tar thing was determined to be an incorrect application of the rule, while Joyce was "a judgment call." Same reason why the Orioles couldn't do anything beyond filing a protest when Jeffrey Maier reached over the wall in the playoffs. They won't reverse a judgment call. But with the pine tar, they ruled in the Royals favor because Billy Martin had basically tried to loophole the rule, it wasn't in place for competition reasons. It was a holdover from the days when they had way less balls and didn't want the pine tar getting on them because it was spread higher on the bat.

[@roebuck1111]

@@inarar5334 the pine tar thing is actually even more interesting than that. The umpires applied the rule correctly, it was just a super outdated rule that was never about competitive advantage. And 8 years before there was a similar ruling on a protest also involving the Royals, also with the same idea that it was an outdated rule and a homer with a pine tar bat was allowed. And of course in true MLB fashion it took them until 2010 to actually change the rule where a team has to challenge the bat before it gets used. And yeah judgement calls don't get overturned, and I think the MLB actually removed the protest from games a few years ago so we won't get another Pine Tar Game again.

[@jasonanno3881]

@@inarar5334 interesting, thank you. What about if Joyce just said like I had a brain fart, I meant to say safe, can he reverse the call? Or if another ump comes over and says I saw that he was safe? Basically was (pre replay era) there anyway to change the call on the field once joyce called out?

[@inarar5334]

@@jasonanno3881 I think that if the ump who makes the call immediately reverses it, or if another ump does come over and say they saw it the other way, yes. If I remember the Joyce blowing the perfect game incident correctly, he was the only one in position with nobody else with a better angle. He just blew it "honestly" and in real time, and didn't learn he was wrong until he saw the tape himself. It's the exact kind of scenario they finally caved on limited replay review to combat.

[@ryanm.6005]

I still don't know why the league wouldn't reverse the call. With 2 outs in the 9th, it's the perfect scenario to do so. For the moment between when he stepped on the bag and the call was made the game was over.

I'm a Cowboy fan, and the first play here was correct. His hand hit out of bounds, so not a catch. Dez got screwed on some other catches (including the one against Green Bay shown later), but this catch against the Giants, he landed out of bounds. In the catch that they took away from him against Green Bay, I'm convinced it was a catch. I'm not sure it would have won the game, because I think it leaves Dallas with 1st and goal, and even assuming they score a TD, it's a one point lead. A 3 point lead if they also make a 2 point conversion. Green Bay had been moving the ball well, Aaron Rodgers was playing very well, and there would have been nearly 4 minutes left, so plenty of time for them to get at least a field goal, and possibly a TD. Regardless, "Dez caught it". He caught the ball, and took 3 steps with it, switching hands to try and stretch out to the end zone. That's a catch, and the Cowboys should have been given the chance to play it out. The second play shown, the ump just plain decided that he wasn't going to let the pitcher have a perfect game. No matter what it took. That wasn't even close, and he knew it. The ump should have been kicked out of baseball for that. Perfect games are so incredibly rare, and the ump just decided "No, screw him". The batter was out by 3 or 4 feet.

I'm a 9er fan. Rookie George Kittle had a very similar play the following week and kept control of the ball as he forced his arms over the line for the TD. At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked him about his play and the similarity to what happened to Jesse James, and Kittle said that he had that play in his mind as he caught the ball and didn't want a repeat, that he wanted to get the catch right.

The fact that a majority of plays like this cannot be overturned is insane. Its to the point now that almost every call in baseball and football just needs to be reviewed immediately because the officiating can be so bad.

[@xyzxyz6406]

2:59 That dam ump just wanted to go home after 19 innings.

[@cdmcfall]

I've seen plenty of running plays where it takes less than 10 seconds to unpile everyone, place the ball, and get the next snap off. The 10-second runoff because the refs called a TD and stopped the clock is rough to watch. Had they made the correct call, there is a chance that the offense could have run one more play for that last inch. But because the ref made an incorrect call, time is allowed to expire. Tough way to end a game.

[@CanalBonomo]

Im new to American football, I didnt understand crap about this play. He was 1 yard short? And the ref said it couldn't try again cuz it had only 8 seconds left?

[@cdmcfall]

@@CanalBonomo So normally after a running play that does not result in a first down or touchdown, the clock continues running. Under ideal circumstances, the players would quickly line back up, the referees would place the ball and get set, and the offense could possibly get one last play in if all that happened in less than the 8 seconds remaining. In this case, the referees called a touchdown so the clock was stopped. After they determined that the play did not result in a touchdown, by rule there is a 10 second runoff because had they not stopped the clock for the TD, then the clock would have kept running anyway and that is the average amount of time it takes to reset after an unsuccessful running play. So by calling it a touchdown, it completely took away any chance the offense might have had to run a final play.

[@CanalBonomo]

@@cdmcfall hmmmm i got it, but if they didnt say it was a touchdown and had 8 seconds left, they could still try it, right?

[@cdmcfall]

@@CanalBonomo Yep. They would've had to hurry because it takes some time to un-pile everyone and reset, but at least it would have been possible. Calling the TD guaranteed it was the last play because of the required time runoff.

[@joejackson3091]

If the team in question still has a time out, which the Lions did, the timeout should be used to avoid the 10-second runoff. Bad rule.

The no basket after the deflection just isn’t fair. It not being ruled touched on the floor changes when the ball could be released.

The clock should have started on the deflection rather than on the catch. If the clock had started at that point the shot wouldn't have been released in time.

[@deja.vunathan]

I'm not sure on that one either. The deflection occurs just after the time on this video turns to 12:05 and he releases the shot just after it turns to 12:07. Plus, the game clock starts before Ross catches it - it didn't seem to me that it started especially late. I don't actually agree with having enough evidence to overturn that shot. Let the teams decide the game in OT.

[@nates5703]

As improbable as it sounds, the call at 2:50 was likely correct. Even though this gets cited as an all-time missed call, Jerry Meals got it right. The catcher missed the tag. This play brought video review to the MLB, which is ironic since review may have actually confirmed it.

[@carlosencarnacion9425]

Yeah, after seeing the video it was a correct call. It indeed doesn't seem like the catcher applied the tag at all. But good that it did bring video review into play.

[@raycebaker6875]

No he was tagged clearly. You can see from either angle he was touched by the glove with the ball. Jerry did NOT get it right. The catcher knows if he tagged the runner or not. So, clearly you don't know what you're talking about

2:55 that umpire was interviewed a few times after this call. He said that he never saw the catcher's glove actually touch the runner on the swipe, though it was close. He apologized for making what he deemed was "obviously the wrong call" a little bit after the game, but has since said after looking at better camera angles in higher definition, reversed course and has said he was right initially and is convinced that there's no actually contact between glove and runner.

True, though from the angle under the posts it’s impossible to tell, as we can’t establish what point the ball is level with the post. They pause it momentarily, at 2:40 but that looks a fair bit short of the posts and it’s continuing to drift wider and wider.

@@The22ndDoctor indeed. This is what I’m saying. If they had the camera located level with the post, it’d be clear. As they’re at an angle, they’re making a rather poor guess as to when it’s crossed the line and still can’t tell how wide the ball is. 👍🏼
