Two earned run issues
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 3:55 pm
Situation 1:
In scoring a game the other day, I had this situation:
Abel singles
Abel advances to 3rd on E1 (throwing on the pickoff attempt)
Baker flies out. 1 out.
Charles singles, Abel scores.
Daniel strikes out and Charles steals 2nd. 2 out.
Edward pops out.
Abel would not have been out without the error (which is how I answered the question), but without the error he likely wouldn't have scored (A double steal is unlikely, and he'd either be on 2nd or 3rd due to Charles' single). This was a MiLB game, and I checked the official score and it showed the run as unearned; however, it was calculated as earned by iScore. I know that at the time it scored iScore could not know if it was earned or not (if Charles homers, Abel is earned; as the inning happened he wasn't) so perhaps that's the problem. Still, I wanted to mention it.
Situation 2:
This is only a scorecard error. The run is shown as unearned there, but in the box score it's earned. I tried to start a new game and recreate the sequence of events, but that one was shaded properly. The sequence was:
Abel strikes out.
Baker strikes out.
Charles singles.
Daniel walks, Charles to 2nd.
Edward singles. Charles scores, Daniel out at the plate 8-4-2.
Any help would be appreciated!
