    Baseball should track extraordinary plays that fielders can bank, and then credit against errors they might later commit.

        @neiltyson I also think it should count as an error against defense's pitcher if offense's pitcher gets a hit.

        @neiltyson Or how about runs. When a team scores a victory say 8-2, the winning team can bank the left over 5 runs:)

        @neiltyson They should also have a "run bank" for those days they can't score!

        @neiltyson Catching up on your baseball tweets. You don't need to be an astrophysicist to apply reason to a game that is unreasonable.

        @neiltyson I agree. Maybe that'll inspire some excitement in that godawful boring game ending it before it interrupts big bang theory AGAIN!

        @neiltyson there are advanced metrics, such as UZR, that track Players' ability to make tough plays. Not penalized for mistakes on balls
