Other side of the coin: number nine hitter finally cranks one over the center fielders head (who was playing pretty shallow) for a triple. Coach's significant other scores it an error. When questioned by a media person sitting next to her asked "an error? really how is that an error?" the answer was "well in my opinion she should have been deeper then she could have made the catch. The kicker was the hitter was on the team she was scoring for. The only thing I can fathom was that she was trying to justify keeping the girl in the nine slot.
And that is a textbook example of a bad scoring decision. Judgment plays are not errors, and this one isn't necessarily even hers to make as I assume a coach positioned her shallow as opposed to normal depth. Even if he didn't and this is on the fielder, its a 3B.
