Errors in baseball are weird. If a ball is hit to the shortstop and he holds onto it and doesn't bother to easily throw a dude out... single.
If two players just miss a popup between them with neither actually touching it... also a hit.

Ehh, to get an error nowadays you pretty much have to have the ball blatantly go through your legs, or you severely bobble it to enable a runner advancement. Or you throw it away. 10-15 years I would regularly see plays ruled an error that would floor me on how such a tough play could get an error. The last 3 years, I have seen some real stinker of fielding plays get called hits which make me think how such an easy to field play be called a hit. Maybe just dont want to have to figure out unearned vs. eArned runs, I dont know.
