Totally an error on the 2nd baseman. Not sure how any scorer could have seen anything any different.
The second baseman had like 5 seconds of hang time to stand still..........LOL Guess it got too complicated for him.

I understand where you're coming from.. And I agree that it should be an error. But, it's not according to official scorers. If you judge the ball incorrectly and don't actually get to where you need to be to make the play, it's not an error. If you don't move and let the same ball just drop down and bounce off of your head, it's an error.
But typically, mental mistakes or judgement mistakes are not ruled as errors. I for one would love to see official scorers given more room to manuever on this one.
