is scored as a "hit on error," and treated the same as if the batter had been put out, hence lowering his batting average. Similarly, a batter does not receive credit for a run batted in (RBI) when runs score on an error, unless the scorer rules that a run would have scored even if the fielder had not made a mistake. For example, if a batter hits a ball to the outfield for what should be a sacrifice fly and the outfielder drops the ball for an error, the batter will still receive credit for the sacrifice fly and the run batted in. If a play should have resulted in a fielder's choice with a runner being put out and the batter reaching base safely but the runner is safe due to an error, the play will be scored as a fielder's choice, with no hit being awarded to the batter and an error charged against the fielder. Passed balls and wild pitches are separate statistical categories and are not scored as errors. If a batted ball were hit on the fly into foul territory, with the batting team having no runner(s) on base, and a fielder misplayed such ball for an error, it is possible for a team on the winning side of a perfect game to commit at least one

Mandatory Credit: Chris Humphreys-US PRESSWIRE A couple weeks ago, during what turned out to be an epic pitching duel between Matt Cain and Cliff Lee, something ordinary happened -- a common occurrence that I found nonetheless intriguing. In the bottom of the eleventh inning, with Antonio Bastardo on the mound, Brandon Belt singled. Angel Pagan, on the sixth pitch of his at-bat against Bastardo, hit a groundball to third baseman Ty Wiggington. Wiggington bobbled the ball and both runners (Belt, Pagan) were safe on the play. Wiggington, accordingly, was charged with an error. Melky Cabrera then stepped up to the plate, one out in the inning, and lined a single into shallow right field to drive in the winning run. This, of course, got me thinking about the implications of Pagan's "reached on error," which had improved the Giants' win expectancy by roughly 7%. Had he struck out, rather than put the ball in play, Melky's single would merely have advanced Belt to second base -- and the Giants would have then had runners on first and second with two outs. Who knows what would have happened next? Instead, Pagan put the ball in play. And though the result of the plate appearance dropped his overall numbers (AVG/OBP/SLG), it was a positive event. There are cases in which "errors" are clearly
