ANALYSIS: Probably a split committee here, but I think they are giving the hitter the benefit of the doubt on this as a knuckling sort of liner that is deep to Tovar's backhand. It's almost like he lisread this.

🚨CHANGE 199🚨 9/14 @rockies.com at @padres.com B2 the error charged to Ezequiel Tovar has been changed to a single for Mason McCoy. As a result, one run has been changed to earned against German Marquez. Change 6 for SD #Rockies #ForTheFaithful

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 17/09/2025
ANALYSIS: I think this is a really tough change. The thing the committee is going with is that the fielder either had enough time where he didn't have to spin, or that he spun but had enough time to be in control. I was fine with the single call.

🚨CHANGE 198🚨 9/13 @cardinals.com at @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social T6 Brendan Donovan reaches on a throwing error by Caleb Durbin, instead of a single plus error. Change 7 for MIL #ForTheLou #ThisIsMyCrew

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 17/09/2025
ANALYSIS: The question is would the runner have scored from first without the error, and knowing that the pitcher gets the benefit of the doubt, there is enough to make it unearned.

🚨CHANGE 197🚨 9/12 @orioles.com at @bluejays.com B6 the run scored by Isiah Kiner-Falefa is now ruled unearned to Dietrich Enns Change 7 for TOR #Birdland #LightsOnLetsGo

With this change, @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social Joey Ortiz had his average lower from .230 to .229, and he now has 99 hits, not 100. @cardinals.com P Andre Pallante now has four errors, not three and his ERA lowered from 5.34 to 5.23. #ForTheLou #ThisIsMyCrew
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 17/09/2025
ANALYSIS: This seems like an easy change as the pitcher easily gets to the ball and just fired wide after he was pretty settled when he threw the ball, and a good throw and the batter is clearly going to be out.

🚨CHANGE 196🚨 9/12 @cardinals.com at @brewers.com B3 Joey Ortiz reaches on a sac bunt throwing error by pitcher Andre Pallante, instead of an infield hit. As a result, 3 of the 4 runs scored that inning are uneanred to Pallante, insteadof just one. Change 6 for MIL #ForTheLou #ThisIsMyCrew

With this change, @whitesox.com Chase Meidroth had his average lower from .270 to .267. @raysbaseball.com 2B Tristan Gray not has three errors, not two (one at 2B, not zero), and P Ian Seymour had his ERA lower from 3.16 to 2.95. #RaysUp #WhiteSox
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 17/09/2025
ANALYSIS: The base is probably an issue for the fielder, but this is a play that he is in position and that an MLB second baseman should make, especially shaded up the middle.

🚨CHANGE 195🚨 9/11 @raysbaseball.com at @whitesox.com B1 Chase Meidroth reaches on a fielding error byTristan Gray, instead of an infield hit. As a result, the run later scored by Meidroth is now unearned to Ian Seymour. Change 9 for CHW #RaysUp #WhiteSox

With this change, @royals.com Maikel Garcia had his average lower from .293 to .291. @cleguardians.com SS Brayan Rocchio now has 11 errorsnot 10 (eight at SS, not seven) and P Logan Allen had his ERA lower from 4.43 to 4.36. #FountainsUp #GuardsBall

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 16/09/2025
ANALYSIS: The original ruling was the double-clutch (which isn't an error), led to slow playing, which allowed Garcia to reach, but even with the double-clutch, Garcia is out with a good throw that doesn't bounce, so this was changed to a throwing error.

🚨CHANGE 194🚨 9/10 @Royals at @CleGuardians T1 Maikel Garcia reaches on a throwing error by Brayan Rocchio, instead of an infield hit. As a result, the run later scored by Garcia is now unearned to Logan Allen. Change 5 for CLE #FountainsUp #GuardsBall

With this change, @marlins.com Agustin Ramirez now has 15 passed balls, not 16. P Sandy Alcantara now has eight wild pitches, not seven, and his ERA rose from 5.48 to 5.53. #RepDetroit #MarlinsBeisbol
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 15/09/2025
ANALYSIS: Marlins announcer @Kyle_Sielaff pegged it perfectly. It's a ball that Ramirez has to keep in front of him. However, it's not a passed ball since the ball, ground, and the dirt all converge, and with the catcher outstretched, that is a wild pitch.

🚨CHANGE 193🚨 9/12 @tigers at @Marlins T7 Kerry Carpenter scores on a wild pitch by Sandy Alcantara, instead of a passed ball on Agustín Ramírez. As a result, the run scored by Carpenter is now earned to Alcantara Change 12 for MIA #RepDetroit #MarlinsBeisbol

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
ANALYSIS: I really think the batter is going to be out at first, but the committee is looking at the fielder would have had to make this throw from his knees, which would put this i the realm of above ordinary effort. I was OK with the original ruling, but I can see the reason for the change here.

🚨CHANGE 192🚨 9/9 Astros at @bluejays.com B10 Tyler Heineman now reaches on a single, instead of a fielders choice Change 6 for TOR #BuiltForThis #LightsUpLetsGo

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
With this change, @Twins Royce Lewis had his average rise from .231 to .234 and he now has 45 RBIs, not 44. @Angels Yoan Moncada now has eight errors, not nine, and P Sammy Peralta had his ERA rise from 7.71 to 9.64. #MNTwins #repthehalo
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
ANALYSIS: Moncada sort of plays this into a hit, but he never gets to the ball, and it takes a fairly wicked hop that is off to the side and moving away from him. Since he was never quite there, this was changed by the committee to a single.

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
🚨CHANGE 191🚨 9/8 Twins at @angels.com T8 Royce Lewis now reaches base on a single, instead of E5 Yoan Moncada., As a result, Lewis is now credited with a run batted in, and the run that scored is now earned for pitcher Sammy Peralta, instead of unearned Change 8 for LAA #MNTwins #repthehalo

With this change, @orioles.com P Tomoyuki Sugano had his ERA lower from 4.56 to 4.51. #LetsGoDodgers #Birdland
011
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 09/09/2025
ANALYSIS: Originally, this wasn't considered an assumed out, but since the runner at third is frozen, this is a rundown and you can assume this out, making the run unearned. Originally this was considered an escaped rundown.

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 09/09/2025
🚨CHANGE 186🚨 9/7 @dodgers.com at @orioles.com T4 the run scored by Miguel Rojas has been changed from earned to unearned for pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano, due to an out being assumed on the pickoff throw error on the catcher Alex Jackson Change 5 for BAL #LetsGoDodgers #Birdland

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
With this change, @bluejays.com Bo Bichette now has 94 RBI's, not 93. @reds.com 1B Spencer Steer now has two errors, not three. P Yosver Zulueta had his ERA rise from 3.68 to 6.14. #LightsUpLetsGo #ATOBTTR
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
ANALYSIS: While this is a force at home and R3 is out with a good throw, the throw by Steer is on the run and across his body with no time to stop, set and throw, so this is considered above ordinary effort.
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
🚨CHANGE 185🚨 9/3 @bluejays.com at @reds.com T8 Bo Bichette now reaches on a FC, instead of on a EC/E1 Spencer Steer. Bichette is now credited with a run batted in, and the two runs charged to pitcher Yosver Zulueta are now earned, instead of unearned Change 9 for CIN #LightsUpLetsGo #ATOBTTR

With this change, @athletics.com Lawrence Butler had his average lower from .237 to .235. #Athletics #RepTheHalo
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
ANALYSIS: What I think this is, is the OS (I think the OS changed this) is now saying the fielder was going to throw home and not attempt the out on Butler, and had the fielder just stayed back to field the ball, he would have been out, and the runner would have beaten the throw home.
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
🚨CHANGE 184🚨 9/5 @athletics.com at @angels.com T3 Lawrence Butler reaches on a fielder's choice to first baseman Oswald Peraza, instead of an infield single Change 7 for LAA #Athletics #RepTheHalo

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
With this change, @cleguardians.com Kyle Manzardo had his average improve from .231 to .234, and he has 63 RBIs, not 62. @redsox.com LF Jarren Duran now has seven errors, not eight (six in LF, not seven) and P Steven Matz had his ERA lower from 3.21 to 3.09. #GuardsBall #DirtyWater
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
ANALYSIS: This is a rather obvious change and a hit for Manzardo. This is slicing away from Duran, who is leaping to try to make the catch. There was just no way this could be considered ordinary effort and it would have been a highlight reel catch.

🚨CHANGE 183🚨 9/3 @CleGuardians at @RedSox T2 Kyle Manzardo now reaches on a single, instead of an error by left fielder Jarren Duran. As a result, Manzardo now gets credit for a run batted in Change 7 for BOS #GuardsBall #DirtyWater

.@athletics.com JJ Bleday had his average rise from .211 to .215. @cardinals.com 2B Thomas Saggese now has six errors, not seven (three at 2B, not four). P Ryan Fernandez had his ERA rise from 7.17 to 8.44 and P Chris Roycroft had his ERA rise from 6.14 to 6.75. #Athletics #ForTheLou
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
ANALYSIS: This is a brutal high and Saggese shouldn't be penalized for staying in front of this and knocking the ball down.

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
CHANGE 182🚨 9/1 @athletics.com at @cardinals.com T8 JJ Bleday reaches on an infield single to second baseman Thomas Saggese, instead of a fielding error by Saggese. As a result, all four runs in the inning are now earned, instead of unearned. Change 12 for STL #Athletics #ForTheLou

With this change, @athletics.com Lawrence Butler had his average rise from .233 to .235. @cardinals.com 2B Thomas Saggese now has six errors, not seven (three at 2B, not four). #Athletics #ForTheLou
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
ANALYSIS: The key on this play for the change is that you have the second baseman having to retreat into the outfield and he takes a protective sort of stance. If this was at him, it might be different, but this hop off to the side is just beyond ordinary effort for the committee.

With this change, @mariners.com Victor Robles had his average rise from .246 to .263. @padres.com SS Xander Bogaerts now has seven errors, not eight. #ForTheFaithful #TridentsUp
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
ANALYSIS: Robles almost assuredly has this beat and it would have taken a well-above average play to get him out by Bogaerts.

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
🚨CHANGE 180🚨 8/27 @padres.com at @mariners.com B8 Victor Robles reaches on an infield single to shortstop Xander Bogaerts, instead of a fielding error on Bogaerts Change 3 for SEA #ForTheFaithful #TridentsUp

With this change, @orioles.com Daniel Johnson had his average lower from .196 to .176. @sfgiants.com RF Luis Matos now has four errors, not three (two at RF, not one). P Spencer Bivens had his ERA lower from 4.28 to 4.15. #Birdland #SFGiants
000
Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
ANALYSIS: While Johnson gets turned around a little bit, he is there and the ball hit his in the glove, letter-high. The key is he did get in position to make the catch.

🚨CHANGE 179🚨 8/31 @orioles.com at @sfgiants.com T9 Daniel Johnson reaches on a two-base fielding error by right fielder Luis Matos, instead of a double. As a result, the run scored by Johnson is now unearned to Spencer Bivens Change 8 for SF #Birdland #SFGiants

Scoring Changes @scoringchanges.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
ANALYSIS: None needed since this play doesn't exist, so I have no clue what it is. That said, with this change, @Dbacks SS Geraldo Perdomo now has 13 errors, not 14.
