Should have been an error and FC, but no mental error has been ruled a scored error in the last 3, maybe 4 decades. Unless you don't drop a ball or throw it away, the scorer has no beef with you in today's game. And in the OF even a drop is not certain to be an error if the player had to run more than a few steps. They really should stop scoring them at all. They are supposed to represent outs that should have been made, whether the ball is touched or not should not be relevant, but that is how is has evolved. I guess the scorers didn't want to take any heat from the players on anything that was too obvious to argue. Edited April 2 by gehringer_2 Quote
Sports_Freak Posted April 2 Posted April 2 The problem whenever Skubal pitches is he's just too good. Other teams focus in on beating the best pitcher on the planet. I mean, Mize handled this team last night. Quote

True. And it's very unfair to a pitchers ERA. Make it a "team error." And the runs unearned. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted April 2 Posted April 2 (edited) Even Cy Young would have trouble if his team give the other side 4 outs. It's hard enough to get 3 outs without giving anything up. Edited April 2 by gehringer_2 Quote
gehringer_2 Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Tigers seem to be playing with wiffle bats - lot of ball to the OF, all short. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Has anyone heard if the nerve in Meadows arm has woken up yet? Quote

lordstanley Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Tried a test. Sweeney strikes out to end top half of 6th inning. MLB audio 3 pitches behind. Quote

IdahoBert Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I got distracted from the game just now but when I was watching it and Sweeney came up the MLB radio was only one pitch behind at bat. Frequently, it’s a couple pitches behind. Quote
