How does Nolan feel about the idea of forced errors? Well, if you read the headline, you already know he endorses this idea.
Drew Creasman suggests that there is a fundamental difference between the following situations:
- Trea Turner hits the ball, and Trevor Story makes a ridiculous stop somewhere in shallow left field, but his throw hits off Daniel Murphy’s glove, and Turner takes second. E6.
Both of these situations result in errors. But in the first situation, Daniel Murphy was just a bad fielder.
