Thanks for telling what the rule book says...You don't see a problem with calling a runner out on an error by the 3rd baseman? That is what the rule book says to do what that does not apply under "common sense and fair play" which is what some Pro School operators suggest. Penalize who screwed up. What do you do when a curveball hits the outside corner, the catcher misses it, it hits his shin gaurd, and rolls over to the grass? Do you call that a strike? The rule book says too. But you don't because of common sense. The catcher screwed up...BALL. We ALL apply that principal. It's the same with the runner after a fielder has a clear shot at the ball and misses it for an error. Opinions are what make this country great. That's mine.
