At the end of the day, MLB has decided not to overturn umpire Jim Joyce’s blown call that stopped Armando Galarraga’s perfect game, according to FOX Sports’ Jon Morosi.
MLB not overturning call. Just decided, source says. #Tigers #JimJoyce
However, commissioner Bud Selig did say that, while he is taking no action on the call today, he does plan on evaluating the possibility of expanding the use of instant replay, according to Darren Rovell.
Selig makes no immediate call: “I will examine our umpiring system, the expanded use of instant replay and all other related features.”
Selig said he would make his decision after consulting with the owners, the Players Union and the Special Committee for On-Field Matters, according to Rovell.

MLB needs a change in leadership
Clearly MLB needs a new commisioner, what happened last night was a wrong that could’ve been right if only the Commisioner would have made the right thing and overturn the blown call yesterday. Mr Selig, this was not just a regular game, you just deprived this kid of a perfect game, the umpire was brave enough to admit he was run, but you Mr Selig just don’t have what it takes to make an important decision. Step aside and let somebody else take charge, MLB needs a change, you had a chance to fix a huge mistake, you blew it worst than the umpire did last night, shame on you.
