ILMOU Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 01:56 PM) I wish fielders would get errors for clearly missed catches, even though he got the eventual out the fact Viciedo didn't straight catch the ball against Bautista should have been an error. Yeah, the official scoring rules suck. Hawk's been (rightly) screaming for the creation of the "team error" concept for an eternity. If the goal of official scoring is to create an accurate, historical record of what transpired in a game (and I think it is), this needs to happen, along with allowing for other judgements by the scorer when a fielder doesn't actually get a glove on the ball - like Harper losing the ball in the lights on Tuesday, for instance.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions about official scoring. An error CAN be charged in those cases, but is almost never is. The official scorer shall charge an outfielder with an error if such outfielder allows a fly ball to drop to the ground if, in the official scorer's judgment, an outfielder at that position making ordinary effort would have caught such fly ball. - Comment to Rule 10.12(a)(1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about that play where Bautista got nailed at third? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viciedo clearly lost that ball in the lights. When the field of play causes a missed catch the fielder is never held accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Rios is about to pass Paulie in batting average. Konerko's fall these last few months is ridiculous. An .80+ point drop in batting average would have been getting more attention is the starting average was t .399 haha But really, There is no way he's not hurt right? I know he's trying to be tough but he hasn't gottena clutch RBI hit for this team in forever. Sometimes the better move is to admit you're hurt and go on the DL for the sake of the team.
