How is this an earned run?
What the title says. Randyboy was booked with an earned run for this inning. He walks Jenkins, who advances to second on a botched pickoff by the catcher. Randy then throws a wild pitch before the runner is singled home. If the runner gained a base on an error I would have assumed the run is unearned unless he scores on a home run f.e.?

Well, if there isn't an error, the wild pitch will get him to second, single will get him to third, and fielder's choice will get him home, so the run scores regardless of error, thus it's an earned run.

That sounds convincing but doesn't explain why the run was given as earned instantly after it scored.

Single into rightfield would probably have scored him anyway if he'd still been at 2nd (BB, wild pitch, single)?

Wild pitches do not affect earned runs. Passed balls do. Essentially PB are an extra error category for catchers.

Because OOTP does not have the capability to reconstruct innings. There are plays in game that will be earned or unearned that can't be changed.

While this may be the real explanation for the specific scenario ...

I have certainly made this point many times in the past ... however, I think this may not be entirely true now. I believe that Markus added (or improved, if he wishes I would say ) a routine that will correct ERs at the end of an inning. And I believe I have seen this in action. It would be great if someone were able to confirm this.
Your point that some ERs still aren't corrected, even so, is almost certainly correct. |

When there's only a single base-runner affected by the error, and that base-runner scores, you really don't have to reconstruct the entire inning in order to determine if the run is earned or unearned. In your example, the scorer could determine immediately if the run was earned because as soon as the runner crossed home plate, the effect of the error could be calculated as to him (it might still have affected subsequent runners as a "fourth out," but it didn't turn out that way in this instance).

I've seen it too, though i have no screenshots or specific remembered examples to confirm.

IIRC quite a few of the really obvious ones were fixed, but there are certainly still some that aren't correct.

Are you saying that OOTP reconstructs innings? I'm not sure how that is possible.

I believe I am the one who said that.
The game scores runs as earned or unearned the moment the runner crosses the plate. It has always been that way. In the past, the game did not correct (or at least often failed to correct) a run that was initially scored as unearned, but which in fact was earned. Classic example would be a home run that wiped out the effect of a previous error. I believe the game is making those corrections routinely now, apparently by reviewing the log for that inning in some fashion. The game may still be getting very unusual situations wrong from time to time. However, it has been awhile since I've run into one of those, so it's basically dropped off my radar at this point. |

Think of a simpler version. Man on third. Less than two out. Batter is safe on error on an infield hit. Runner scores. This will NOT show up as an earned run immediately. If the next player gets a hit, a run will then appear as earned ont he pitcher's record. OOTP DOES change the status of a run from unearned to earned if the circumstances change during the inning... as it should. (Note: I am not claiming it always does this perfectly. Just that it does it.)

For instance, in the example you list above, if the runner on third breaks on contact, it's an earned run no matter what because the runner scores even if the infielder makes the play. As far as I'm aware, OOTP does not code whether or not that runner goes on contact. |

Every time that I've bothered to check the box score at the moment a runner scores, it seems to me the game has recorded it against the pitcher in one way or the other. However, it has been some time since I checked this, so I can't say for sure. I'll have to take a look at this again next time.

It definitely can change during the inning now.
Though, as said, that doesn't mean it is always right.
