I have never seen so many Catchers make errors in Strat. I have Bench in a league and after 15 games he has 3 Errors and is a 1(-3)e2. Maybe Feller, Gooden, Ryan and Knepper are wild, if I had scrubs at SS and 2B I could see it, but I have Ozzie and Sandberg at SS and 2B. I have seen some crazy Error totals for Catchers over the strat years, has anyone else noticed this? SGT D

Most errors that catchers get will be throwing errors on steals. That's where the T rating comes in. If I steal a base and draw a 1, 2, or 3 (from a "deck" of 20), then another "card" is drawn. If that card is equal to or less than the catchers T rating, there is a throwing error.

If all Bench's errors were off the CATCHER'S CARD X, then it was just really bad luck.
