9. Exactly. Room for debate as to who made the error.

The toss from 1b to p was weak and behind, but I think catchable, so i'd give the error to the pitcher. But yes, either way, he got to first on an error.

An unfortunate aspect is that if the first baseman hadn't made that great catch and the ball went past him into the outfield, it wouldn't have been an error. At least I think so. Not sure how they decide if it's an error is a fielder doesn't pull off a difficult catch or stop.

Sorry, if 1B drops the ball, then he reached on error and it is not a hit. The scoring of an error is the correct call. FSogol Apr 2024 #1

See vid in the link below. 1b made a great catch, then tossed it to the pitcher who couldn't find the handle. unblock Apr 2024 #4

It is either an error on 1b (crappy throw) or on that pitcher (poor glove work). No matter who the blame is FSogol Apr 2024 #6

I didn't realize umpires jobs were to make fans feel good AZSkiffyGeek Apr 2024 #10

He didn't say a word about the umpires, and umpires have nothing to do with hit v. error scoring. rsdsharp Apr 2024 #12
