Maybe your just venting?I wouldn’t of posted this thread if the mistakes weren’t as bad as they are. I understand when a scorekeeper rules a hit as an error if an error was involved. Our scorekeeper has credited multiple real hits as errors.
For example once a girl hit a line drive into the outfield, the ball landed on the grass a good distance ahead of the fielder and then hopped right under the left fielders glove. The hitter made it to first and once they saw the error the LF made she advanced to 2nd. I would’ve scored this as a single and then an advancement on an error but our scorekeeper scored the whole hit as an error.
Like I said before the scorekeeper is a very nice parent and their daughter is also a very kind girl and one of DD’s best friends on the team (i feel it’s worth mentioning that their daughter gets cheated out of real hits just as much as the rest of the players) but the parent is not good at paying attention and Is
often browsing their other phone or texting.
Also one of the biggest mistakes they’ve made is crediting 90% of our players bunts as fielder’s choices. One of our blazing fast players laid down a perfect bunt right down the 3rd baseline and easily beat out the throw to first (no error was made and the fielder didn’t even try to get the base runner who was running from 1st to 2nd) and when we checked the gamechanger the bunt was scored as a fielders choice??? One of the parents who was watching the game changer kindly explained that the bunt should’ve been counted as a single and I will give the scorekeeper credit cause they did change it to a single... and then the scorekeeper made the exact same mistake the very next game.
Or did you want to try it yourself?
