Unearned Scoring bug?
I am no expert at scoring runs vs. unearned runs, however, the following scenario just took place where the Twins scored 8 runs in one inning vs. King Felix and yet none of them were charged as earned runs in the box score. Could this be correct?
Minnesota Twins batting - Pitching for Seattle Mariners : RHP Felix Hernandez Batting: LHB Max Kepler 0-0: Swinging Strike 0-1: Ball 1-1: Ball 2-1: Fly out, F8 (Flyball, 8RD) Batting: RHB Brian Dozier 0-0: Foul Ball, location: 2F 0-1: Swinging Strike 0-2: Foul Ball, location: 2F 0-2: Strikes out swinging passed ball, reaches first! Batting: SHB Robbie Grossman 0-0: Ball 1-0: Called Strike 1-1: Ball 2-1: SINGLE (Groundball, 3) (infield hit) Brian Dozier to second Batting: SHB Jorge Polanco 0-0: Bunt - Flyout! F1 Batting: LHB Jason Castro 0-0: Called Strike 0-1: SINGLE (Line Drive, 78M) Brian Dozier to third Robbie Grossman to second Runner from 3rd tries for Home, SAFE, throw made home Batting: RHB Byron Buxton 0-0: 3-RUN HOME RUN (Line Drive, 7LD), Distance : 374 ft Batting: LHB Joe Mauer 0-0: Ball 1-0: Ball 2-0: Ball 3-0: Base on Balls Batting: LHB Eddie Rosario 0-0: Ball 1-0: Ball 2-0: Ball Wild Pitch! Joe Mauer to second 3-0: Called Strike 3-1: Base on Balls Batting: RHB Miguel Sano 0-0: Foul Ball, location: 2F 0-1: Swinging Strike 0-2: 3-RUN HOME RUN (Flyball, 7D), Distance : 365 ft Batting: LHB Max Kepler 0-0: Swinging Strike 0-1: Ball 1-1: SOLO HOME RUN (Flyball, 7D), Distance : 393 ft Batting: RHB Brian Dozier 0-0: Called Strike 0-1: Foul Ball, location: 9LMF 0-2: Fly out, F9 (Flyball, 9LM) Bottom of the 4th over - 8 runs, 5 hits, 0 errors, 0 left on base; Seattle 3 - Minnesota 8 |
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but a PB basically is treated like an error. So if you're rebuilding the inning without it, then it goes FO, K, SI, FO, and that would be the inning.

Quote:
Earned run An earned run is a run that is ruled by the official scorer to have resulted exclusively from actions by the batting team and not because of errors by the defense. When the fielding team makes an error or passed ball, the scorer is supposed to "reconstruct" the inning assuming that the defensive miscue did not occur. Only runs that would have scored barring the miscue are considered earned; all others are considered to be unearned. |
