How is my team? 1-10 rate them?
Earned runs given up, Multiplied by 9, divided by innings pitched. For example....If you pitch 9 innings and only give up 2 runs....2 runs X 9= 18 divided by 9 innings= era of 2.00When healthy, who is better: Kris Benson or AJ Burnett?
ERA is earned run average meaning the amount of runs a pitcher allows per 9 innings pitched, for example a pitcher allows 3 runs in 9 innings his ERA is 3.00 which is very good. ERA is used to determine a pitcher's effectiveness in baseball the lower the ERA the betterHow much does the roof at safeco field cover?
It's the earned run average so to determine it, you just take the number of earned runs against them and divide it by the number of innings they have pitched then multiply by nine. This tells you the average number of runs that the pitcher gives up in nine innings. It is useful for judging how well a pitcher is. If someone has a 1.30 ERA they give up far fewer earned runs than someone with a 5.6 ERA.ERA is a pitcher's Earned Run Average - the average number of earned runs (runs that don't score by benefit of an error) allowed in a game. To figure ERA, the formula is as follows:
(# earned runs*9)/innings pitched
For example, if a pitcher allows 17 earned runs in 56 innings, that pitcher has a 2.73 ERA. The lower the ERA, the better.
