The Mets contacted Major League Baseball’s central offices in Manhattan after Saturday’s game, requesting a review of Andrew McCutchen’s third-inning “hit” in a 3-2 loss to the Pirates, a league source told the Daily News.

The team wants the ruling changed to an error, which would deduct two earned runs from R.A. Dickey’s line. The process will not likely be resolved until mid-week.

Wait: Why?

I thought it should have been an error, sure, but it was hardly the most egregious official-scoring decision I’ve seen. And it’s not like changing the ruling is going to change the outcome of the game. Someone must really care about R.A. Dickey’s ERA.
