The majestic MLB season: where heroes rise and clowns... well, slip up royally. Enter stage left: those lovable gentlemen of glib mistakes – the fielders whose Errors-on-the-Play become your evening's highlights on that second screen.
If the 2023 standings are any indication (cue dramatic violins), it appears we're living in an age where errors-by-certain-field-positions might not just put their name eternally next to a dreaded acronym, "M-E-S" – they'll rewrite baseball lore entirely! Not only have these miscreants-turned-scapegoats been putting an eerie, consistent spotlight on just how easily games tilt – now we've begun counting errors in full. Just as one keeps track of ball game tallies come June, your neighborhood bar league teams now calculate error-per-blink, it seems - not everyone gets to participate – except our boys... and it counts, folks. Here it comes: if leading teams fail once daily - at most each match they give their opponent at their worst that little chance. It matters. If 'They Were Given an "E'" last Thursday for instance - did his opponent know about him (last week Wednesday?) then there is your winning strategy. Let me repeat: the way people who love America's 100 year league make these errors lead their side to loss with great speed while some are almost left running away after what feels short hours later when all seemed fairly safe - this now happens even against those 'bottom line,' as in "we want win"...you read.
FALSE ... no I apologize - I got sidetracked
