I went to the Colorado Rockies game the other day. There were two plays that I might have scored differently; in both instances the official scorekeeper for the Rockies game scored them hits, so now I'm rethinking how I score things; maybe I'm too harsh? Play number one - a hard hit, bouncing ground ball to second base; the second baseman had to move to his right. Knocked the ball down but then bobbled it, never got the throw off. I was thinking E4, but then I looked at the scoreboard and saw that it was scored a hit. Second play - runners on (first and third maybe? Can't recall exactly). Hard hit, bouncing grounder to short stop. The short stop knocked it down, but not in time to get the runner at second. Popped up with the ball but then held it. I was thinking fielder's choice? To hold the runner at 3d? Or maybe defensive indifference?? It was scored a hit. I hate having to use subjective calls in scorekeeping - I had figured that if the fielder bobbles the ball it is an error, but clearly the best scorekeepers in the world think differently - or is it a big conspiracy to pad batting averages in MLB? Some of both? Now do I have to start to judge how a 12 year old boy (I have the most trouble scorekeeping baseball - seems to be more subjective) should field a ball??
