Throwing error RBI Bug

JDOldSchool · 09-18-2004, 03:23 PM

Just saw this one last night...

Runners on 2nd and 3rd with less than 2 outs. An infielder commits a throwing error (not a base hit+1 base error on a tough play, but a routine play). The runner on 3rd obviously scores and the batter is properly credited with an RBI. The bug comes in when the runner on 2nd scores because of the error and the batter gets an RBI for that as well.

The batter should only get 1 RBI on this play, as the runner on 2nd only scored because of the throwing error.

I've seen this too. Also, a new variation on scoring bugs that has appeared in V6 is that sometimes on the throwing error to first, the batter will be credited with no out, no hit, no at-bat - as though the play had never happened.

Both of these things need to be fixed.

Also, if this is the situation in the bottom of the 9th with the game tied, both runs 'score', despite the fact that only one run is needed to win the game.
