[quote:1e62e35d82="PotKettleBlack"]Batted balls do not all trigger fielding. GB(a) trigger DPs. X-rolls trigger fielding range checks. Errors, I'm not sure about, but I understand that fielding errors happen on X-rolls, while throwing errors happen when throwing.

Given that all X-rolls are the same, range does matter, but what you're talking about is relative quality of pitchers, which is not really a function of skill with the leather of your second baseman. At least as I understand it.[/quote:1e62e35d82]

So can anyone confirm that:

1. Range matters only in the context of X-rolls, and
2. Errors matter on both X-rolls and other fielding plays?

Range and error rating both only matter in X-rolls.

and outfielders can make throwing errors on base hits or sacrifice flys

Amazing. So the notion that you can sacrifice infield defence if you have a staff of strikeout pitchers is a crock, since they have the same number of X-rolls as the ground-baller. The things a person would learn from playing the board game ...

KO pitchers have less fly balls and gb b/c's where runners can advance.
