I thoroughly enjoyed your answer and since I am too lazy to do the math myself hope you are correct.
I also hope that I am correct, but I'm glad at least that it was entertaining.
I got bored the instance he dismissed an inside the park home run since its clearly the only way you are going to bunt a home run. He should have described how that could happen without an error since an error is not a home run.
You would need something like a really slow roller that the infielders are waiting to roll out of bounds.
But you got un-bored at T + 0.20s, right?
In all reality, I find physics and writing far more interesting than I do the arcana of MLB rules. Different kinds of neurodivergent, I guess.
