Ok, I have a question for you guys...
We're playing a make up game from over the weekend today (too much rain and the fields being in bad shape). In the game, we're down 12-10 in the away half of the 4th (we're home). There are 2 outs and the count is 2 balls, 1 strike, runner on first. I see the runner take off from first when the ball is released from the pitcher's hand. The batter swings and misses at the rise ball putting me in perfect position to keep coming up to throw. I throw a strike down to second. My short stop comes running over, but never catching the ball even though the ball was thrown to the perfect spot and the ball had beaten the runner to the base. The ball rolls into right-center field and the runner advances to third.
We get back into the dugout after I talked to the pitcher and calmed her down thinking she did something wrong and she struck out the batter with a nasty change up. The shortstop and I argue over who was at fault on the play. I claim she didn't get over in time to catch the ball. She claims I threw the ball too quickly and too hard for her to get to it. The error ended up being scored on the shortstop. Who should have gotten the error, the shortstop or me?
