Stricter Scoring Proposed to curb crooked baseball play
Debate grows over using official scorers to flag players suspected of throwing games. Umpires back stricter rules as world series veterans note earlier games lacked clear signs, raising questions about scorer accuracy while increased scrutiny approaches next season.
Fan Views On Scoring Nods To Doubt In Baseball
The writer explains fans misjudge scorers by ignoring speed, distance, and ball irregularities. Scoring aims to give the batter the benefit of the doubt in hits and errors, though critics often attack officials for decisions.
Debate Over Scoring Helped by Generous Fielding
Critics argue generosity toward batters lets fielders slow play to convert hits without harming averages. They pressure for strict scoring to expose players aiding opponents. A related dispute centers on low throws to first base once charged as infielder errors. Babe Borton’s repeated low-throw alibis are cited, with Bob Meuser noting Bor ton’s misses in 1919.

Scoring Controversy Floats Over First Baseman’s Errors
The article questions scoring reformers and argues Borton’s errors were misattributed to Meusel. It suggests the first baseman’s smooth fielding masked mistakes and claims scorers merely followed convention.
Scorers object to burden of detecting off color play
The scorers argue they would have to monitor both the fielding and base running players for crooked actions. They claim they cannot reliably detect such behavior unless it becomes crude or frequent. Decisions would rest entirely on the scorer's judgment.
Suspicion on Off Days Could Haunt Players’ Careers
The passage warns that a player’s off day may be judged as suspicious by scorers, branding him a crook and harming his career with lasting distrust and a tarnished reputation. It stresses the danger of snap judgments and the lasting impact on athletes.
