Another scoring error

[Erik W.]

On a squeeze, all runners were safe with no errors. The batter was given neither a sacrifice nor a hit. (I'm not 100% sure which is should've been, honestly, but I know it should've been one of them).

Not necessarily. It's really the "scorer's" judgment, which in this case, I do not place much confidence in the AI scorer to get correct:

RULE 10.09 (b):
Score a sacrifice bunt when, before two are out, the fielders handle a bunted ball without error in an unsuccessful attempt to put out a preceding runner advancing one base. EXCEPTION: When an attempt to turn a bunt into a putout of a preceding runner fails, and in the scorer's judgment perfect play would not have put out the batter at first base, the batter shall be credited with a one-base hit and not a sacrifice.

It depends on where the ball was bunted, how good of a bunt it was, and where the ball was thrown to (home or first)...but most likely it is a hit.

The ball was thrown home, runner safe.

It is a hit then.

You know what...I am wrong.

Even if the runner is safe at first and the throw goes home, it is still a sacrifice.

EDIT: Because, the batter's intent was to sacrifice himself in order to get the run across the plate. You can apply this to the scenario if there was a runner on second. If the pitcher fielded a bunted ball, wheeled to fire to third, but the throw was late and the batter is safe at first, it is still a sacrifice.

Sorry to keep posting here, but I would just like to see the correct scoring rules implemented into this game. I hope you guys can take care of this.
