Bubblegum Bandit April 24, 2005 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member April 24, 2005 Ok...so ERA = Earned Run Average...correct? So how can a starting pitcher, win the game 4-2, and have a 3.00 ERA for THAT game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConGregation April 24, 2005 Share ConGregation Member April 24, 2005 They must have scorend some 'unearned' runs. Average means over a nine inning period. So if he gave up 2 runs for six innings, then that would extrapolate to 3 (I think). So maybe there weren't unearned runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblegum Bandit April 24, 2005 Author Share Bubblegum Bandit Member April 24, 2005 Average means over a nine inning period. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, this is what I didn't understand. You are correct, he was only in the game for 6 innings. I didn't realize they gereralized it to 9 innings. But it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Chip Douglas April 25, 2005 Share Lord Chip Douglas Member April 25, 2005 ERA is calculated per 9 innings. If a pitcher pitches 6 innings and gives up 2 runs, his ERA would be 3.00 for that game. 2/6*9=3.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
