Scoring question: is this charged as an error?

Question

Bases are empty. Routine ground ball to third base, the third baseman throws wildly to first and the first baseman has to chase the ball. The batter trips on his own feet, falls hard on his knee, and is in so much pain he can only hobble to first. The first baseman has time to make the out. Is there an error charged on the wild throw, or does the lucky out get him off the hook?

Answer 1

well people will say that it still went over the head and he wouldve been safe but got hurt .  but i say  if he got the out unlucky for the runner and lucky for the pitcher

also it depends on were you stand for desions like that.

Answer 2

An error is used to get a runner/batter to the next base, when appropriate. In other words, if someone drops a pop-up, but a runner or batter is still thrown out, there's no error because there was no harm done by the error. You have to account for movement around the bases in scoring - hit, error, stolen base, catcher's interference, whatever.

Answer 3

if he gets the ou there is no error charged if he doesnt get to the bag before the runner does its an error

Answer 4

The out was made, so no error is possible.
