CorrectSo no hit for Carroll since it's an error?
Is it scored like a walk for batting average purposes?Correct
No, like an out. He is officially 0-1Is it scored like a walk for batting average purposes?
I found this: "Now imagine the exact same action by the hitter, the swing, the path, speed, spin on the ball, and speed to first base. This time, however, the defender just gets to the ball, but fumbles around and the hitter takes first base. In the official statistics, the hitter gets an at-bat (and thus also a plate appearance)… but no hit. The hitter’s batting average and on-base percentage have just decreased. Makes sense, yes? Uh, no." Kinda sucks....No, like an out. He is officially 0-1
That's what the Doyers said!Are you kidding me with these home runs? Ridiculous.
Been that way forever you can't reward a hitter for a fielder making an error.I found this: "Now imagine the exact same action by the hitter, the swing, the path, speed, spin on the ball, and speed to first base.

It's not the hitters fault that he could potentially make an infield hit, but the fielder boots it. It goes both ways. I think that guy didn't field it cleanly because he knew Carroll was almost to first. That makes a hit as much as cleanly knocking it through the infield. The runner's skill made the hit in that case.Been that way forever you can't reward a hitter for a fielder making an error.
I get your point especially with Carol's speed. But if he fields it cleanly it's an out.It's not the hitters fault that he could potentially make an infield hit, but the fielder boots it.

I just think it would be more fair to neither credit the hit, or hold it against the batter.
Do you want him to control his pitchers? Then at least spell his name correctly.Hey Torrey, if you could get your starters to stop giving up home runs and walks, that would be great.
