I have decided to take a second stab at which plays are not scoring correctly for fielding stats. I have come across a couple of very interesting situations.
The first is that whenever there is a error in the outfield made by an infielder the batter ends up on 2nd, the batter is credited with a hit and the fielder an error for letting the batter get to 2nd base. The log totals for the half inning will show a hit as well as the box score and player totals, but here is what the log will show:
Batting: RHB J. Sandoral 0-0: Ball
1-0: Ball
2-0: SINGLE (Line Drive, 6M)
Batting: RHB C. Terry 0-0: Called Strike
0-1: SINGLE (Line Drive, 56D)
J. Sandoral to second
Batting: RHB B. Kerridge 0-0: Called Strike
J. Sandoral steals 3rd base
0-1: Ball
1-1: Foul Ball
1-2: Ball
2-2: Ball
3-2: Fly out, F9 (Flyball, 89M)
Runner from 3rd tags up, SCORES, no throw
Batting: RHB J. Hiatt 0-0: Called Strike
Error in OF, E4
C. Terry to third
Batting: RHB T. Ezpinoza 0-0: Ball
1-0: Swinging Strike
1-1: Foul Ball
1-2: Ball
2-2: Ball
3-2: DOUBLE (Flyball, 78XD)
C. Terry scores
J. Hiatt scores
Batting: RHB V. Serenil 0-0: Ball
1-0: SINGLE (Groundball, 56D)
T. Ezpinoza to third
Batting: RHB A. Machin 0-0: Bunted foul
0-1: Sac Bunt - play at first, batter safe!
V. Serenil to second
Batting: LHB G. Miner 0-0: Called Strike
0-1: Ball
1-1: Fielders Choice at 2nd, 4-6 (Groundball, 4)
T. Ezpinoza scores
V. Serenil to third
Pinch Hitting: RHB R. Kunz 0-0: Called Strike
0-1: Ball
1-1: Ball
2-1: Foul Ball
2-2: Foul Ball
2-2: Fly out, F7 (Line Drive, 7S).
Top of the 5th over - 4 runs, 6 hits, 1 errors, 2 left on base.
As you can see 6 hits reported in the totals but there are only 4 hits in log. You get one for the outfield error and the 2nd hit not showing is the sac bunt where the batter gets to 1st base. The sac bunt is being scored correctly as a hit the log is just showing incomplete info.
This last is a scoring error as far as I can make out.
Batting: LHB B. Gully 0-0: Foul Ball
0-1: Foul Ball
0-2: Ball
1-2: SINGLE (Groundball, 34)
N. Sturdivant to third
Runner from 3rd tries for Home, throw and OUT!
This play was scored as a 4-2 putout. Unfortunately I don't have the pbp but I am remember the hit going to the right fielder which should make it a 9-4-2 assuming the right fielder hit the cutoff man or 9-2 if not.
