Statistic Abbreviations RA/9

goof1016 · 02-23-2013, 08:46 PM

I noticed in the expanded pitching stats 2 the abbreviation RA/9. I was unsure at first what it stood for so I checked the games glossary by pressing F1.

They list RA/9 as runs against per 9 innings but that was not the correct number as it was way higher then the Runs Allowed would have been.

I did some number crunching and realized that RA/9 means Baserunners Per 9 Innings.

The abbreviation for that should be something like BR/9.

The reason I bring this up is I am sure it is a easy thing to change and in my opinion is more straight forward and less confusing.

And yes I am aware that I am a stats geek.

Runners allowed.......but since we already have WHIP, I think this is an oversight and should be runs allowed. Besides, that is the most important stat for any pitcher and we should have runs allowed per 9 as an option, which we don't.........
