[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?
