Reply to "Error on foul fly ball"

It is usually scored an error if it negatively effected the inning.

For example. Bases loaded, two out, batter fouls one off to the first baseman who drops it. Hitter strikes out next pitch... Scorer will not call that an error.

But, if a run ends up scoring, they will.

It's not immediately called an error because no runners can advance, and no runs can score on a dropped foul ball.

Occasionally, you see an outfielder intentionally let a routine foul ball drop for the sake of not allowing a tagging runner advance. That's certainly not an error, that's smart baseball.

If it doesn't hurt your pitchers stats, it's not an error.
