how would you score this play on a scorecard?

Question

Jorge Cantu grounds into a force out, second baseman Placido Polanco to shortstop Carlos Guillen. Rocco Baldelli scores. Carl Crawford out at 2nd. Jorge Cantu advances to 1st, on throwing error by first baseman Dmitri Young. Missed catch error by first baseman Dmitri Young.

this play was recorded this way by mlb on the gameplay function. they weren't very clear about it. very messed up situation.

Answer 1

I wouldn't
Did Young throw the ball to himself?

Answer 2

Score Crawford out 4-6 at second base. Score the run and give Cantu the RBI. Cantu reaches first on a fielder's choice (no error if he stops at first, one can "never assume the double play"). If Cantu is able to advance beyond first, score THAT as an error on Young.

Answer 3

There was no error on the play by Dmitri Young, the error was given to the shortstop on the throw, and there also was no error on Young because you can't assume a double play. The scoring would go on the scorecard as 4-6 E-6

Answer 4

Fielders choice & RBI to Cantu. You can not assume the double play and give an error unless Cantu advanced to second base on the throw.

Answer 5

RBI for Cantu, fielders choice, reached on an error.

Answer 6

from what you explained here, it seems quite impossible. Young makes a throwing error to where? How does young manage to make a throwing and catching error on the same play if the ball was originally hit 2 Placido Palanco. Please explaing better, i can help!!!

Answer 7

Fielder's choice and an RBI. No error because you can't assume the double play.

Answer 8

i would score it fielders choice,since you cannot anticipate a double play--so FC 4-6---run scores how can Young have the throwing anderror and the missed catch--that confuses me
