amarcinov Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Ok I know the English on this is really horrendous but I typed it the way I felt it. After playing eight games and allowing only eleven runs overall one of my "A" relief pitchers with only one inning of work has an era of 10.86. Anyone have a clue on this little present?

xiberger Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Sounds perfectly normal to me. You see, the ERA is calculated to represent the runs given up by a pitcher over nine (!) innings, not just one. From mlb.com: Earned Run Average (ERA): Multiply the total number of earned runs by nine, and divide the results by the total innings pitched. Example: Randy Johnson has allowed 67 runs in 220 innings. Multiply 67 by 9: 67x9=603. Divide 603 by 220 (his innings pitched): 603/220=2.74 -- which is his ERA. Got it? :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiggins Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 well i thought it looked normal but if he only pitched 1 inning . for his ERA to be 10.86 he would of had to give up 1.2 Runs that Inning? how is that Possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiberger Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hmmmm... good point. Maybe his reliefer has pitched 1 2/3 innings and given up two runs. That would account for an ERA of 10.86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amarcinov Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Ok, it sounds good but how does that explain my second post of 60 hits with one inning pitched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Maybe the guy had a really bad inning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarcinov Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 No!! I have some of the best pitching available, and with the controller great control. My original post I should mention was 11 runs total in all games played to date in the "A" minors, 8 games. I understand the math and will try a calculation myself.

amarcinov Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 So was I! Okay I went to MLBs' site and got the calc: (ER*9)/IPs. So 1 ER times 9 diveded by 9 and a third is 0.96. 10.86 is definatly screwy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiggins Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 but did he Pitch 1 inning or 1 and 2/3 of a inning? also your calculation is wronng he didnt pitch 9 innings so it would be devided by 1 or 1.67 if he pitched 2/3 of a inning which would = 10 era if he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarcinov Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hello Shiggins, he pitched 1 and 2/3 which is .66. So 1run times 9 is 9 diveded by 1.66 is 5.42. Even if he only pitched 1 inning the most it can ever be is 9, it is mathimatically impossible for it to be 10 or higher based on a factor of 1. Greater than 1 would still be less than 9 with only 1 run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiggins Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 acutaly yeah your right i was ******* it up then to .. your right 1 2/3 of a Inning would be 5.42 5.42 + 5.42 = 10.84 .... Close to what your actualy getting maybe it is Doubling it? and thats the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I've noticed this to. But only when I simulate the games. I had a pitcher on the Richmond Braves who had 1 inning pitched and 58 hits allowed. But since I don't play the minor league games, I don't have a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would have a problem with one of my pitchers giving up 58 hits in an inning! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Really? I think I would have a problem with one of my pitchers giving up 58 hits in an inning! You right Filthy. Under normal circumstances I would have a problem. But I think this is another bug with the game. The pitcher had 58 hits allowed, but his batting average against was .000.

tebjr Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Possibly.. BA=1.000? No, it was .000. That's why I'm pretty sure it's just a flaw in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
