I have had this situation come up several times and use GameChanger to score games and can never score it correctly. GameChanger seems to think that there can never be a situation where an error can be charged on a dropped third strike when the batter-runner reaches safely (https://gamechanger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/212071606-Scoring-a-Dropped-3rd-Strike-). Here is the part I am questioning: I would argue that there is a situation. The pitch is either bounced (wild pitch) and the batter swings or the catcher drops the third strike (passed ball), but the catcher manages to field the ball cleanly afterwards. At this point, I think there could be two possible errors. The catcher could make an errant throw, allowing the batter-runner to be safe. I can see how this situation could be considered just a passed ball or wild pitch, it is still the battery making a mistake. However, what if the throw is perfect, but the first baseman muffs the catch. Should this not be an error on the first baseman? Especially when the pitch was a curveball and the battery is expecting the ball to hit the ground and ready for it? Seems wrong for the battery to be charged with a mistake when the first baseman truly allowed the batter-runner to reach safely. It also seems wrong to charge a pitcher with a wild pitch when the catcher was able to field cleanly, but then proceeded to throw the ball away. Thoughts? Any actual rules apply to this?

The ball is hit short of the pitcher who comes forward, fields the grounder, throws to first base. The ball is not caught by the first baseman and runner is safe. The ball was thrown about shoulder high, but not in align with bag,. The throw beat the runner and in fact passed between the runner and the first baseman. First baseman could have caught the ball with average stretch but he is heavy and not very flexible. Also, because the ball was close to the runner it made him nervous and he did not make a movement other than to extend his arm, also, in my opinion he could have taken a small step and made a tag. Is this an error on the throw (pitcher) or the catch attempt (first baseman)? First baseman was really upset with the scorekeeper for recording the error on him.
