Put Out Attempts

Here's the scenario. Runner on first. Batter hits a deep line drive to the right field corner for a triple. The runner scores and on the relayed throw (9-4-2-1) an error is committed by the the second baseman, allowing the batter to come in and score.

I scored triple, runner advanced by batter to home, then batter advanced on error to home by second baseman. But I feel like that doesn't give the complete picture of what happened. I feel like I should be entering the players involved in the relay (listed above) rather than just the guy who committed the error. How else will i know how to reconstruct what happened? Is there not a way to do that? Is it unnecessary information to keep recorded?

Now that I've got this on my mind, it just happened again. Chopper to the pitcher, who made the throw but pulled the first baseman off the bag for an error. I entered the pitcher made the error but never had the chance to show that it was a 1-3 play.

Maybe I'm just overly thinking the "need" to have that info recorded.

You can add it as notes if you would like... you can add a note to any play. But there is nothing statistically that can be done with "pulled first baseman off the bag". It is just at error on the pitcher. Same with the relays... the guys involved in the relay up to the point of the error don't get any statistical credit for anything, but if you want to keep notes on it to help reconstruct the play, you can do that.

Okay, that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing any functionality that could do this (besides notes). Thanks!
