Who gets the error?

SB, E2 on advance to third. ie if shortstop short hops first and base runner advances to second, error is on SS (possible 2 base error). first does not get charge and error.

But if the poster thinks it's a stolen base then how can it be an error on the short stop? Short stop misses the ball in any league and that runner is not going to third if the second baseman is backing him up properly. Heck, even the center fielder should be able to keep that runner from going to third. Can you do E2, 4, 6 and 8? And E-Coach for not teaching them how to do it right.

I agree with the SB E2 call. If F4 was in position to make the backup and didn't, then I might give the advance to third an E4 instead of E2. In general for me though, once the throw hits the dirt, most errors are on the fielder who made the throw.

E-Coach! LOL, to bad we can't really do that some times!
