Yeah, should be an error. Should also probably be Saurez playing there anyway.

Gray at 40 pitches through 4. So far, among his best games as a Red.
Gray should have been out of that inning much earlier, but he still gets out of it just fine.
Just a terrible official ruling by the official scorer.
It clearly was an error. But more importantly, that was the first hit of the game for the Dodgers. If they go back and change it, like they should, it will now look like they are trying to protect Gray’s no hitter.

That is not how it works. You have to assume a clean throw. If the fielder makes the play, but makes a poor throw, it’s an error.
We’ve seen this before, where a fielder makes an amazing diving stop, but their throw is off line. That’s an error and has always been called an error.
That’s the way it has always been and the way it should be.

Sorry but that’s not the way they do scoring. It’s the degree of difficulty.
Fast runner, slow roller, it’s going to be a hit. Official scorer won’t assume an out in that situation.
Has nothing to do with Sonny Gray’s line, it’s the correct decision.
If it was a routine grounder or a slower runner, probably it would be an error.
Dodgers announcers were surprised it was ruled a hit
