Character mistake: Loren mistakenly calls each pitch at the batter's mound a strike, when that is when a pitch is out of batting mounds, or the batter misses. A ball is when the batter ignores the pitch or doesn't make a swing.

Suggested correction: A player doesn't have to swing for a pitch to be a strike. He called them correctly.
Well unless I've missed something over the years in baseball... and Loren's obvious confusion on what to call... when a batter remains stationary during a pitch, that is a standard all-out ball. When the batter moves or swings and misses the pitch, it is a strike.
His initial hesitation had nothing to do with it being a bad call. And yes, you've missed a lot over the years. A batter can move or even check swing and still the pitch could be called a ball. When a batter remains stationary, that doesn't change a strike into a ball just because he didn't swing or attempt to swing. The poem "Casey at the Bat" is all about him not swinging on the first two pitches, and they were both called strikes.

The Tempest - S5-E10
Other mistake: Smoke from the burning Thanksgiving dinner starts wafting from the stove just moments before a strong wind from a coming storm blasts through the window. Yet somehow Michaela doesn't notice the smell just moments before going outside with Katie.

The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: During almost any random episode of the family hanging out on the porch after dark, the moonlight is unusually bright, indicating obvious studio lights in their faces, or plug-in lamps on extension cords for actual light attached to the porch ceiling or whatnot.

Wave Goodbye - S6-E5
Plot hole: Dr. Mike and Daniel are discussing whether Princess Nizamoff is a fake or not, considering all the voices from the dead she performed during the séance. Yet Mike totally forgets that Mizamoff addressed her former medical professor in grave detail. Something the Princess would not have known otherwise.

The Waltons (1972)
The Spoilers - S3-E8
Other mistake: During the somewhat pointed discussion with the Hanover family at dinner, Olivia suddenly has the girls help clear the table when all their plates are still full, which wouldn't happen during a depression with money so tight.

Three's Company (1977)
Visible crew/equipment: Obvious shadows from booms, overhead, and crew members reflect off the walls while Jack and Larry are talking, and Larry looks like he's either reading from cue cards or following an off-camera director for his blocking moves.

When a Child is Born (2) - S4-E28

29th Mar 2023
Clue (1985)
Revealing mistake: Near the end when Miss Scarlett points the pistol in Col. Mustard's face, over his response to her revealing everyone's secrets, you can hear the trigger click twice, like she'd accidentally shaken the grip, or an accidental pause or prop failure.

Family Affair (1966)
Other mistake: When Cissy 'dials' Sharon's number to ask her about babysitting the kids, Sharon is shown already crossing her living room to the phone as it rings.

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Factual error: In the later seasons (4-6) all the characters keep referring to their location as 'Colorado Springs' instead of just stating 'here'. Example: "I told him to stay in Colorado Springs" instead of just stating "I told him to stay HERE"

Clue (1985)
Continuity mistake: When Professor Plum and Miss Scarlett enter the porch, the camera closes in on his hand touching her bum. But the following shot shows his arm at the center of her backside as she 'edges' away from him.

The Brady Bunch (1969)
Continuity mistake: The home number Mike dials in the men's bathroom to check on the kids, is very different than the home number Carol dials in the ladies restroom. (00:18:30 - 00:18:56)

A League Of Their Own (1992)
Other mistake: The first time Kit is up to bat in the opening, she gets two strikes but holds on the third. Which is technically a ball that should have saved her. Yet gets called on a third strike.

Suggested correction: The 3rd pitch wasn't technically a ball. It was called a strike by the ump, so it was technically a strike. Not to mention it was down the middle and not even a missed call.
Guess the rules differed then for baseball, because technically Kit did a ball NOT a strike. Which I realise the ump or ref could have called either way. But fairly should have been a legal ball. And just because an ump or ref calls something, doesn't make it bank nor fair. They've made calls in games before, that were not what they claim. And her bat barely moved an inch. So, yes, it should have been a ball.
Balls and strikes do not depend on if the batter swings at the ball, it depends on where the baseball crosses home plate. The pitch Kit did not swing at was in what is known as the "strike zone" meaning whether she swung or not, it was technically a strike.
I'm just curious what makes you think it was a ball?

The Day Nothing Happened - S2-E20
Revealing mistake: The snowman is an obvious Styrofoam props the kids have set up in the family room, as the fake snowflakes fly right off it during the kids play, including the white patches beneath the body.
