Errors

Don't really care about e rating. I understand that what I don't see is on what rolls other than card x or an outfielder stopping an extra base can get an error. I have infielders with perfect X fielding yet have errors. Do they figure in for guys taking extra bases? Like dropping a ball or maybe being the relay man and throwing it away? Just not connecting how my 3rd baseman has 2 errors and perfect X fielding.

Please describe "perfect X fielding", because there are no 3rd basemen with an e0 rating.

It's possible that the undisclosed algorithm for bunting for a base hit allows for errors from a 3B or 1B who otherwise would not have any error chances. But as others have mentioned, I have never seen a 3B with a zero error rating.

I think what he means is, if you open the teams fielding tab, and you check the players X rolls columns there are no missed X chances, yet there are errors listed in the E column.

Right Mykeedee. Don't mean rating for perfect. Meant perfect as 9 for 9 outs in X fielding. At the point I was describing my 3rd baseman was 9 for 9 in outs for X chances yet had 2 errors. I'm referring to what has happened result wise not ratings. How can an infielder who is perfect in all his Xs have errors? Or a guy that is 10 chances and 8 outs have 4 errors? Especially since some of those missed chances can be hits.

Ah. Hm, for an infielder I'm not sure unless the game engine distributes throwing errors on Steals between the catcher and the infielders?

Glad to see I'm not the only one bewildered. I've never really understood the advanced chart. I played the old one so much on the old board game then never really played the advanced.
