Phillies news: Alec Bohm, Griff McGarry, Noah Schultz
TL;DR
The official scorer assigned an error to Bryson Stott instead of Tim Mayza during a recent Phillies game, a decision that may be revised soon. The error stemmed from a low throw by Mayza that Stott was expected to catch.

Interesting decision last night by the official scorer when he assigned an error to Bryson Stott instead of Tim Mayza in the sixth inning. A low throw by Mayza was probably supposed to be caught by Stott, which is likely why they charged it to Stott in the first place, but that felt a little tough. I’d bet we see that changed in the coming days.
