This was very painful to watch.

Your shortstop definately had a tough inning 3 consecutive errors. How is his fielding stats?

Ouch! You sure it was not Steve Lyons at short? Wow.... BAD!

Ouch indeed! That happened to me before...2nd baseman I think.

He's not that bad with the glove actually. He has a range of 8 (out of 10) and a fielding percentage of .958.

To update, the game ended with a bit of an interesting twist. He hit a 3-run homer in the bottom of the 9th (one run for each error!) which would've tied us right back up at 5 if one of my relievers hadn't given up 4 runs in the top of the inning. He's not even that much of a power hitter. I guess he just felt really bad about the whole thing.

So I'm not mad at him anymore. I can't say the same about the reliever though.......

OUCH! Was your shortstop playing his position with a machete?

No Ozzie Smith, that's for sure.

What the play by play didn't mention was the fact that the groundball was going to short, but a sniper in the bullpen hit him with a tranquilizer dart and the second baseman covered the play instead.

What's interesting is that those three initial errors make it so that none of the runs are earned, since for the purposes of calculating earned runs, the errors were all would-be outs and the inning should have been over.
