Perfect Game Alert!
Javier:
As an umpire in that situation, let's say you somehow didn't have a good angle on the play...just call it safe if it's really close. In this particular instance, it was an obvious out but if it was like a really close call where the difference is basically a nanosecond then give it to the pitcher there. He was clearly on top of his game, it was a regular groundball to the first baseman.
Shallow:
What a joke! This was a situation where if it even looks like a tie you should call it an out. You'll get way worse publicity being the ump that screwed over the perfect game than you would being the ump that gave one away. It would have been a lot worse if we didn't just have 3 perfect games.

honestly, you could make the case Miguel was way up the line for no reason.
that looked like the second basemens ball; he's suppose to charge; it would of been an off balance, tough play, but still seems like Miguel was way out of position.
regardless, complete bullshit; he was out, even if he was safe, you're suppose to to blow it & call him out of courtesy.
there is a courtesy base that shortstops & second basemen get when they turn two, but the umpire can't give him a courtesy call for pitching a RIDICULOUS game?
& Wykid, you're not trippin' he was punching him out all the way & changed his mind.
if you see other angles, he did actually bobble the ball, but he DID recover & have full control in time.
