Joyce sure didn't appreciate the earfull he was getting from Miguel Cabrera between pitches after the fact. I go back forth about replay in baseball (other than HR's) and this play kind of pushed me over to the replay side of the fence. Even on a close call, which that wasn't, you'd think the umpire would error on the side of the pitcher given the fact he had already went 26 outs.

BTW - the play by Austin Jackson in center was freaking OUTSTANDING, but now will be overlooked since it wasn't a perfect game.
