if you haven't seen the play, the video is in this link titled "andy laroche legs out an infield single". the brewers are arguing that it should have been ruled an error, and are sending a dvd to major league baseball in hopes that this lone hit will be ruled an error and sabathia will be awarded a no-hitter.

what say you guys? i say leave it the way it is. 15-20 years ago, it would've been ruled an error. nowadays, if a fielder has to take more than 2 or 3 steps to make a play they should probably make, but can't quite come up with it...it's called a hit every time b/c it's deemed a difficult play or whatever.
this play would never be called an error in present day baseball.

Probably a hit most of the time, but you can bet it would have been an error if it had happened in the 8th inning or so.

[Ohio Blues]

It would seem a cheap way to get a no-hitter. Error on the left fielder I may be able to understand, but error on the pitcher himself? In order to qualify for a no-no? C.C. shant have eaten that 12th kosher dog before the game and maybe he would have gotten his fat ass to the ball

[Glovey]

Sabathia's actually a pretty good athlete, unlike his fellow lardass at first base. Probably should have been ruled an error, but I don't imagine it will be changed.

[Jack Daniels]

Since he gave up on it after he booted it when LaRoche was still halfway to the bag, 1B.

[210]

That's a hit.

[Donuts_For_Koharski]

A hit. And I feel even more strongly after seeing Ned Yost's act after the game. What a d-bag.

[Jack Sparrow]

I am glad the scorer didnt use the way too often used mantra - "Its an error until the other team gets a hit - make them earn their first hit" because thats worthless.

The scoring should be based on each play not the entirity of the game.

No idea if its the right call, but glad it was made. If he uses his glove and boots it maybe its called differently.

Who knows, with the pressure of a no-no who is to say that he doesnt give up a hit later. Easy to say it when the pressure was off for a few innings.

[i.am.js]

I would have had no problems calling that an error, but the way Yost and the Brewers are going about it, I hope they don't overturn it.

[Guppy]

I'd call it a hit.

Brewers are focused on the wrong thing if they are worrying about this stuff. Move on and worry about the important stuff - beating the Cubs.

Exactly. I never thought I'd see the day when I actually disliked a team more than the Cubs.

Ned Yost's interview after the game made him look really stupid.

[cardinalgirl]

the brewers are dumb.

[RedBirdBrain]

Ned Yost's being a giant douche made him look really stupid.
