Factual error: Horace catches the ball during the first half of the final competition as Otis approaches 4th base/pitcher's mound, which outs him automatically yet Michaela nor the team call it.
Suggested correction: He was out. It was obvious that he was out when Quinn said he caught it. There would be no point in having to call him out. Otis is then seen telling his players to return to their bases because they could be tagged out. But he doesn't bother going anywhere because even he knew he was out. And we do see the players get called out.
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.
Factual error: None of the Swedish wedding traditions Ingrid mention actually existed in the 19th century and the bread she's baked is not traditionally Swedish. When she later speaks in her mother tongue it's definitely not Swedish.
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"
Continuity mistake: When Dorothy is doing laundry, she grabs a large piece of linen from the washtub, as Dr. Mike approaches and they talk about Dorothy hiring a caregiver for Loren, during his stroke. As Dorothy starts cranking the linen through the wringer, she stops to protest to Dr Mike about it but then turns around holding the wrung linen in her hand, though she hadn't finished cranking it out. (00:32:30 - 00:33:20)
Fifi's First Christmas - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: After Fifi has gone after the red scarf, Brian picks it up. In this wide shot, there is nothing on the left of Brian, however in the next close-up shot, there is a horse next to him.
Fifi's First Christmas - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Brian's hair is the standard bowl cut he's sported throughout the series to this moment, even on meeting new girl Sarah and their piano lessons. When Sully, Mike, and Robert E find him mounting a horse to go look for lost Sarah, it's suddenly gelled back for a more 'older' look.
Continuity mistake: When the whole town comes to support Matthew, we can see Hank and the reverend walking up behind him. A few seconds later, we see them both again, now they're walking with Colleen and Brian, and they have just come around the corner to see what all the fuss is about.
Visible crew/equipment: You see an automobile's headlights driving in the background when Hank is giving Dr Mike a hard time after his NaNa is brought to the clinic.
When a Child is Born (2) - S4-E28
Other mistake: Not to sound rude, but Jane (Seymour) was literally pregnant, in labor when her water broke, but no visible staining on her gown or on the wagon seat when Sully pulls her up.
Other mistake: Toward the end, when Mike is snuggling at the window with Sully, the candle on the wall near them isn't lit. But there is ominous light about them, obviously from the studio set.
Factual error: When Mike is talking with Colleen about women 'Having It All' while raising children, she mentions Dorothy raising four children while running a ranch, when Dorothy mentioned in earlier episodes that she has two daughters and one son (Tommy, who appeared in a prior episode).
Last Dance - S5-E6
Visible crew/equipment: While Welland Smith and Arty are telling Sully about national parks, Welland mentions President Grant, and just as Sully says, "Yes, sir," the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen. (00:11:35)
Character mistake: As Preston is calling Sully on the sheriff situation, Loren enters, brandishing a new rifle to Preston, almost right over the baby's carriage. No way in tomorrow would Dr Mike or Sully have allowed this to happen, but have aimed the firearm in another direction, or at least Sully move in front, away from the baby's carriage.
The Tempest - S5-E10
Other mistake: After getting the horses inside the barn, Mike sees the twister and hurries inside the homestead to grab Katie and take cover under the staircase. When Sully and Brian arrive the next morning to find debris littering the house, they call out for Mike, and she comes rushing down the stairs holding Katie, instead of coming out from the staircase where they were safe.
Suggested correction: By morning, the tornado has already hit and its threat is long passed, so there was absolutely no reason for Michaela and Katie to have remained hiding under the staircase. Prior to that scene, Sully and Brian were on their way back home, and when they took refuge from the twister, they released their four horses to instinctively find their own safe place. After the tornado passed, once it was safe to ride again, Brian and Sully needed to first find all their horses, and then continued riding back home. As you said yourself, "Sully and Brian arrive the next morning."
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.
Visible crew/equipment: Michaela tells Grace that she wired several colleges to try to find a permanent teacher, and just as "Directed by Chuck Bowman" appears on the screen, the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen. (00:08:50)
Visible crew/equipment: After Robert E cuts the red ribbon to the new Freedmen school, when Michaela puts her arm around Grace and says, "You'll do fine, Grace," the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen. (00:12:10)
Visible crew/equipment: At the end, after Jake finally allows Anthony to attend the town's school, when Grace tells Jake they have a deal (regarding Jake and Hank's hotel) and shakes his hand, the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen. (00:44:15)
