"There's no way to know what the outcome of that inning would have been if the error hadn't happened, because the chain of events that flowed after it would have been different in small and big ways"
"Yes but precisely because we don't know, there's also no reason to assume that the inning wouldn't have unfolded in exactly the same way"

Fans in general tend to blame/credit their team too much, as though they were playing a lineup of robots. If a reliever blows a lead fans tend to blame him even if he gave up the go-ahead HR to a Joey Votto type who just golfed one out of the strike zone.

Well in that case I just blame the manager - "shouldn't have left him in"
