ANALYSIS: Probably a split committee here, but I think they are giving the hitter the benefit of the doubt on this as a knuckling sort of liner that is deep to Tovar's backhand. It's almost like he lisread this.

ANALYSIS: I think this is a really tough change. The thing the committee is going with is that the fielder either had enough time where he didn't have to spin, or that he spun but had enough time to be in control. I was fine with the single call.

ANALYSIS: The question is would the runner have scored from first without the error, and knowing that the pitcher gets the benefit of the doubt, there is enough to make it unearned.

ANALYSIS: This seems like an easy change as the pitcher easily gets to the ball and just fired wide after he was pretty settled when he threw the ball, and a good throw and the batter is clearly going to be out.

With this change, @whitesox.com Chase Meidroth had his average lower from .270 to .267. @raysbaseball.com 2B Tristan Gray not has three errors, not two (one at 2B, not zero), and P Ian Seymour had his ERA lower from 3.16 to 2.95.

ANALYSIS: The base is probably an issue for the fielder, but this is a play that he is in position and that an MLB second baseman should make, especially shaded up the middle.

With this change, @royals.com Maikel Garcia had his average lower from .293 to .291. @cleguardians.com SS Brayan Rocchio now has 11 errorsnot 10 (eight at SS, not seven) and P Logan Allen had his ERA lower from 4.43 to 4.36.

16.09.2025 18:12 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

ANALYSIS: The original ruling was the double-clutch (which isn't an error), led to slow playing, which allowed Garcia to reach, but even with the double-clutch, Garcia is out with a good throw that doesn't bounce, so this was changed to a throwing error.

With this change, @marlins.com Agustin Ramirez now has 15 passed balls, not 16. P Sandy Alcantara now has eight wild pitches, not seven, and his ERA rose from 5.48 to 5.53.

15.09.2025 20:42 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

ANALYSIS: Marlins announcer @Kyle_Sielaff pegged it perfectly. It's a ball that Ramirez has to keep in front of him. However, it's not a passed ball since the ball, ground, and the dirt all converge, and with the catcher outstretched, that is a wild pitch.

ANALYSIS: I really think the batter is going to be out at first, but the committee is looking at the fielder would have had to make this throw from his knees, which would put this i the realm of above ordinary effort. I was OK with the original ruling, but I can see the reason for the change here.

With this change, @Twins Royce Lewis had his average rise from .231 to .234 and he now has 45 RBIs, not 44. @Angels Yoan Moncada now has eight errors, not nine, and P Sammy Peralta had his ERA rise from 7.71 to 9.64.

12.09.2025 23:30 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

ANALYSIS: Moncada sort of plays this into a hit, but he never gets to the ball, and it takes a fairly wicked hop that is off to the side and moving away from him. Since he was never quite there, this was changed by the committee to a single.

#LetsGoDodgers #Birdland

08.09.2025 23:45 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

ANALYSIS: Originally, this wasn't considered an assumed out, but since the runner at third is frozen, this is a rundown and you can assume this out, making the run unearned. Originally this was considered an escaped rundown.

ANALYSIS: While this is a force at home and R3 is out with a good throw, the throw by Steer is on the run and across his body with no time to stop, set and throw, so this is considered above ordinary effort.
