Another RBI bug:
Bases loaded, one out. Batter hits a slow roller to third, third baseman airmails the throw to first, batter ends up on second, two runs score.
The game gives the batter a ground out and the third baseman an error, which implies that the batter would have grounded out 5-3 if not for the error.
The game credits the batter with 2 RBI. This is incorrect. In this situation, as in all error situations, the official scorer must determine what would have happened and credit everyone accordingly. Here, though, we know what would have happened - the other runners would have advanced on the slow grounder and the batter would have been out at first. So he should get credit for one RBI - the runner who went from third to home - but certainly not the other, who would have been at third.
