Never saw - or at least noticed - this before. A (-) play on a sacrifice bunt didn't lead to the bunter reaching first base, but it did (presumably) lead to a successful sacrifice bunt, as opposed to a failed bunt and fielder's choice. Boxscore, happened in the Top of the 9th.

Maybe the pitcher fielded and made a bad throw to 2B trying to get the lead runner, and the SS had to pull his foot off the base to keep the ball in the infield, but he still had enough time to fire to 1B and get the batter.  That's the only thing I can think of.  That is bizarre.

Pitcher bobbled the ball, scorer felt, without the bobble, that he could have gotten the lead runner.

For a minus play the pitcher wouldn't even have had to have bobbled the ball. More likely it was bunted sharply right back to the mound and the pitcher just ignored his frantically shouting shortstop as he threw to first for the easy out.
