The MLB Office Is Pushing Official Scores to the Detriment of Pitchers

Many believe that the MLB office has been pushing official scores in this direction with declining batting averages factoring into their efforts. Official scorer friend and listener who shall remain nameless says oversight of the process has never been more than it is today. So far this season there have been errors on about 2.12% of balls in play now if you go back to the very beginning of baseball 1871 the National Association it was 18.25%. The error rate on balls in play as Ryan said has been decreasing basically forever throughout the games entire history.
