"Team error" should be a thing
I'm tired of the "well, we're not sure who should've made the play, so we'll just call it a hit." The official scorer in the Jays/Yankees game tonight gave 3 hits to errors, 2 of those because there wasn't a single player to blame.
The ball that landed in the triangle of players along the left field line early in the game was an error. The bunted ball in the middle innings that should've been fielded by the catcher (I think Goldschmidt picked it up) was also an error. The pitchers got penalized for poor fielding.
And Varland's drop was also an error, but that he was penalized either way, so it really didn't matter.
