Scoring an error

Mental errors aren't errors so technically the error is on the 2nd baseman but I might have scored a single if it was as far up the middle as you say. In no scenario should anyone expect right field to make it first to cover a throw

You are probably correct here. single and error on 2b allowing the runner to reach 2nd.

I see two errors. Not sure if this is proper. but there is an error on 1B for not being there (that I don't think is proper scoring), then there is an error on the 2B for "supporting' the runner in getting to second base.

Many years ago I remember Tommy John fielding a bunt. He picked up the ball and then dropped it. Then he picked it up again and threw the ball into right field. he took a cut from the outfield and threw the ball to the backstop trying to get a base runner out at home. Official scorer gave him 3 errors on the one play.

Was scoring a game recently - ball was hit pretty hard right near the 2nd base bag. Our 2B made a really great stop and went to throw to 1st but our 1B had run away from 1B in order to cover the circle I think? Because she wasn't aware the 2B had gotten to the ball. So 2B throws over 1st - runner gets to 2nd. In an ideal world - our RF would have come to cover the throw but I'm not sure if she would have gotten there fast enough anyway.

Who should get the error - I scored it on our 1B but should 2B not have thrown it? I feel like I've seen scenarios where if the C does a throw down and no one is covering the base - they still get charged with the error.

Thanks!
