And what about the official scorer?

 Look, I know there are rules about official scoring but in those rules there is language that makes in clear that it is that person's judgement, right?

So you are playing in Cleveland and unless they have taken the call out of the hands of the local official scorer and taken it to the national level (might have, don't really know), it should be a local guy's decision, right?  

And, if that person is the official socrer in Cleveland it is safe to say that they are an Indians fan, right?

And, just like if there is a tie that tie goes to the runner you would expect that if there is a very close official scoring decision it should go to the home team, right?  Unless the person is doing it is a pompous a-hole who thinks their stuff doesn't stink, right?

So, given all the above, I fail to see how a ground ball that hits the SS in the chest can ever be ruled an infield hit.   I have seen the replay 5 times now and I just don't see it.

Which brings me, FINALLY, to the reason for this post.   Logan Allen pitched a good game today.  The main blot on that outing was a HR by Whit Merrifield right after that two-out "infield hit" in the 2nd inning.   If that 'hit' is scored an error those runs are unearned.  

Soooooo, you would hope that the official scorer, assuming he is not a pompous a-hole, would change that decision on Tuesday after he had a night to think about that the hit/error decision was a close one and that calling the failure to make a routine play on a medium speed ground ball which hit the SS (who as moving toward first base at the time) in the chest, in Cleveland, with the official scorer also being in Cleveland.

To me, no matter how fast Lopez was running, was an error all the way.  Change the freakin' decision to an error on Amed Rosario and give Allen the clean (ERA-based) outing he deserves.   Hey, it was the only good thing about the game on opening day.  Don't take that away, too.
