Edit: Let's take 1908. The fielding percentage that year was ,959. The OOTP fielding percentage was .987. That's less than one third of the errors actually committed during the real season, and I think it would be more than one baserunner per game. Something like thirty percent to one-third of the runs scored in 1908 were unearned. The difference is enough to reduce runs scored by 20% or so. I've done a bit of rounding and mental arithmetic instead of being careful, but I'm in the ballpark. As the actual fielding percentage goes up over the years, the discrepancy shrinks, which is what happened in the table in the original post.

I think it's the errors as well. I've played out games in the 1870s and 1880s with OOTP 24 and I am not seeing close to the number of errors I saw in OOTP 23. If there is an error most games have just 1 error, I remember in OOTP 23 it was common to see 5+ errors combined in a lot of games.
