re: Who is the official scorer for LSU baseball games at the Box?

Love me some C-Mac!

Rhymes gets so many hits that should be errors.

every single game i hear Charlie say well that tiped his glove but Rhymes got the hit anyway.

If the fig scorer allows Rhymes to break my boy Walkers record, im gonna burn that mother down.

you dont watch many games do you?

You must not understand baseball at all. Are you telling me a player that has an outstretched arm and has a ball tip his glove should be an error? Please say no.

you got one of those right. Ill let you decide which one.


Im just saying the stat guy is WAY too lenient towards LSU.

Lazare is hitter and fielder friendly and not pitcher friendly. I don't recall what game, but I remember one where the LSU pitcher pitched about four no-hit innings, then some guy hits a one-hopper the LSU third baseman played off his chest and the battered reached. Lazare called it a hit. I remember seeing Mainieri come out of the dugout, look up at the press box and say something like "You can't let that be their first hit."

It became moot because the visiting team wound up getting more hits, but the point is Lazare ALWAYS leans toward the hitter and gives the benefit of the doubt to the fielder more often than not.

I would say because of this, LSU's fielding numbers get helped, the ERA gets tweaked up a bit and batting average is up a tick.

What am I wrong about exactly.

---

if a ball falls between 3 fielders and nobody touches it...that is a hit 100% of the time

Might want to check your facts here Abner.

as it should be.

Please explain this to me. I would love to see your reasoning why a popfly that lands 45 feet from home plate between the catcher, pitcher and first baseman should be a basehit.

obvious is obvious but scorekeeping, in general, is more hitter friendly than in the day. hell, mlb is the reason and they set the framework for other scorekeepers. i also agree with them as, in the day, hitters got robbed a lot. in any event, it is not an exact science.

Because you can't just pick one of the three players to give an error today. Should you just draw out of a hat?

So this means that it SHOULD be ruled a hit. Or does that mean, in your opinion, there is nothing else better to score it as??

I am just wondering. You seem like you pay attention to baseball. We have already talked about this once today, but that's fine. I have seen multiple times where an error was ruled in this situation. The error is either given to the fielder who should have been the one to call everyone else off or the closest fielder to the ball. It's judgment, but so is giving the reliever a win that has the "best" performance if the starter doesn't go 5 innings.
