LSU on Pace for 14 Total Errors in the Regular Season

The pitching has been better too and the hitting is inching back up to where they were last year as well.

It also helps when we keep 10-run ruling nerds

Damn near spit out my drink reading this. Been thinking something like that, but couldn't word it correctly. Well done

Better pitching, less balls in play
playing from ahead, less pressure on defense

That’s all true…but Thompson was a head case last year..fact. He looks a lot different so far.

Now you’ve done it

Thompson was also hurt most of last season, missed practices leading up to season
Never looked comfortable out there until the end

LSU also overshifted at times last season in my opinion and he was caught out of position at times, but I'm not an analytics guy
You are dealing with college players and you don't have the data you have in MLB

Does competition really matters when it come to team fielding?

It can, yeah. Better hitters will put more balls in play and generally hit them harder. So both more chances and more difficult chances increase the probability of an error happening. Also there is just a general increase in the pressure for every individual play to be made.

Yeah some of the E5’s given to hard hit balls at 3B from Crews are just not fair.

Yep. And Morgan's error was a kind of mental error throwing to first on that bunt. A little reckless.

Pretty sure Cooper had a throwing error vs Iowa on a bunt.

You're right, the PB on Travinski on the SO which the runner reached 1B technically isnt an error on him but unearned run for the pitcher since he made it around ultimately. Forgot about Cooper's throwing error.
