A dropped foul ball changes nothing. A long foul ball down the line that drifts into the stands changes nothing.

Except when users post about how unrealistic it is when all pick-offs result in outs.

It lets people know where an error came from and understand why a run or runs end up being unearned. Without it are we to look at the scoreboard after every play on the outside chance that an error, that was not shown, is now on the board?
Going with "phantom errors" is going to cause complaints.

Correct, but it does add a sense of drama because some of those balls end up not being foul. Kind of like the real life game OOTP is trying to simulate. Without it every ball down the line is a HR, unlike real life. Carlton Fisk, feel free to not waste your time and start circling the bases
Are 5 extra clicks over a 162 game season really that troubling? You've clicked more keys typing in this thread than you will hit in 20 OOTP seasons due to long foul balls
