Why do white sox games not show up in scoreboard?
I'm more concerned about the 14 innings, I've never seen a pitcher go that long, but the .2 innings is easy, if a little counter intuitive. The "points" of an inning refer to the number of outs recorded by the pitcher in a partial inning. If the pitcher is removed from the game with 1 out, then the pitcher pitched X.1 innings.In baseball scorekeeping, one out is 1/3 of an inning for the pitcher.
Innings pitched is reported in a peculiar format -- standard decimal (base ten) to the left of the point, and trinary (base 3) to the right. So you might see 99.1 or 99.2 IP, but never any other value to the right of the point.
Some websites sensibly change these to .333 or .667 just to avoid complicated conversion.
