"Suck A Little Less Today"
It is funny to look at the papers the day after watching a high school game and see what is turned in to newspapers. In the last 10 years I have watched a lot of high school games, and seen everything from coaches, players, grandparents, parents, and even little sisters keeping the books.
Maybe I'm to critical ? But these are all errors in my book that I see scored as hits.
Ball dropped (Infield or Outfield)
Ball hit right at player through her legs
Bad through past player covering base before runner gets there
Ball hit right at infielder and player bobbles, drops etc and runner barely beats out.
So does this happen because of so many unqualified people keeping score or because high school coaches want to pad there teams stats for post season awards ? I would guess both. This happens anywhere from weaker high school teams to what people would consider some of the best teams in the state.
And one last one not viewed as a error but not a hit.
Fielders choice and they give batter a hit
