With Brendan Harris on first, B.J. Upton hit a grounder to first baseman Aubrey Huff who booted it (#1), then threw it past pitcher Adam Loewen (#2). Catcher Paul Bako chased down the errant throw and tried to catch Harris at the plate, but his throw was wild and Harris scored and Upton ended at third (#3).
Officially, the Griddle is opposed to the double error, but sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due.
For reasons which people have told me are lame. Basically, I find it unfair that an outfielder could drop a ball and it ends up as a three-base error when an infielder could kick a ball and then make a bad throw and get two errors. Or the same infielder could just throw the ball in the stand and there would be two bases.
I think it's all just one big play.
The usual reply to my complaint about the double error is "Shut up and sit down."
I have no problem with the double error. An outfielder could drop a ball then make a bad throw and get a double error too. But then again, why argue over such a flawed stat. :)
