How do you compute an E.R.A.?
Question:
Answers:
It is the average of earned runs given up over 9 innings.
For instance, if a pitcher gives up 2 earned runs over 6 innings. His era is 3.00.
How do I find out if a baseball game is rained out?
just average together the runs that scored and were allowed w/out an error and average them. (ERA= Earned Run Average)Example: Let's say when Curt Shilling is pitching, 3 runs score, but one was b/c of an error throw to home plate. His ERA for this game is 2.If the next game he allows 5 runs, them you add together 2 and 5 to get 7, then divide by the number of games which would be 2 and get a 3.5 ERA
(ER/IP) * 9 = ERA
Where ER is earned runs allowed by the pitcher, and IP is his innings pitched. Remember that 1 out is 1/3 of and inning, so pitching 6 full innings and getting 1 out in the 7th before being retired is 6.3333333333 innings.
ERA is a computation to show how many ER a given pitcher would give up if he pitched a full, 9 inning game. The first part shows his average ER per inning he pitched, then you multiply it by 9 to get that average over a 9 inning period.
* The guy above me is totally wrong.
Could this team go all the way?
(ER/IP) * 9 = ERAWhen was the last time a batter hit two homeruns without an out?
You divide the number of innings pitched by 9 and then divide the number of earned runs by the first numberIP
-----------= 1st number
9
Then ER
--------------------------= ERA
1st number
Example:
7/9=0.7777777...
3=ER
3/0.777777=3.85714=rounded off to 3.86
How big of an impact will Roger Clemens have?
Take the number of earned runs and multiply 9. Take that total, and then divide that number by the number of innings pitched.More Questions & Answers...
