scoring errors and unskilled players

corlay said:

if a player fails to handle a fairly easy pop fly,
but is somewhat unskilled (compared to her peers)
do you still score it as an error?

example: lazy pop fly over 3B head that she could have ranged backward and caught easily if she had the skills.

I just am not sure if the idea of a "routine play with normal effort" gets pro rated based on the ability of the player?

I tend to score these as errors, but am now wondering if I am scoring unfairly.

thanks

What if the outfielder is just plain lazy? I scored one an error the other night because the outfielder was lazy. She went half speed and the ball landed by her feet. I felt it was not a normal effort.

Thoughts?
