Play by play error

The first baseman made a bad throw to the pitcher covering first, and then the first baseman dug it out of the dirt. See screenshot:

Mildly off-topic (and I agree this is a bug), but I *did* once see a play go 3-1-3, where the first baseman fielded the ball, tossed it to the pitcher covering, who had it pop straight up in the air off his glove. The alert 1b ran over, caught the ball on the dead run, and crossed the bag before the runner got there.

I don't think it's what Markus had in mind though.

How about this one? A ground ball was hit to
my 1b man. He then gets the ball and throws it
to himself. The throw goes in the dirt, but he still gets the out! I had to laugh, and then shake my head!
