Obligatory "Corey Hart shouldn't wear his sunglasses at night" joke.

 

Or maybe he should wear them...

 

Anyway, I specifically went back through this thread to make sure that someone made this joke. I feel much better now that I know someone did.

 

How did they give Monroe a double there? I know they don't give errors when guys lose the ball in the sun and it falls to the ground. But that actually hit his glove, that's got to be an error.

 

It hit his glove when he raised it to protect his head because he had no idea where the ball was. If you don't call an error when the guy lets a popup fall 3 feet from him, I don't think you can call an error there either. Hart had absolutely no idea where it was.

 

He knew where it was, he tracked it until the last second. The glove was up before he lost it, unless you really think he just magically threw up his glove and the ball found it.

 

If Murton pulls that he'd get ripped to shreds. That's an error. If that game is played in Milwaukee they aren't giving the hitter a gift double.

 

When I noticed the Brewers had 0 errors on the game, I couldn't believe my eyes. That's definitely an error in my book, some home-cooking perhaps? Either way, these types of scorekeeper's calls aren't significant enough to alter a player's stats for better or worse.

It was initially an error, then it was changed.
