Reply to "Caught Stealing Percentage"

…Last evening I was listening to my son's game (he's catching). The announce says: The runner goes, the throw is right on the money, in time, and he guns the runner down---- wait folks, the ball comes loose"! Stolen base. Actually it should have been caught stealing with an error on the SS but it showed in the stats as SB. As a dad I don’t feel as if that’s fair. But knowing baseball as I do I know it is fair. --- BUT-- This has happened twice in the last two days. But it's still fair. …

 

Yes, it is “fair” because that’s the way the rules say to score the game. But if you were only listening to the game, why do you think there should have been an error on the play?
