Earned Runs

[BronxBomber2007]

In the event of an error with 2 outs that would have ended the inning....can a pitcher be charged with runs that are scored after that error is committed? If so, can you explain? Thank you

no

This happened to Lacky earlier this season. The catcher dropped a pop up with two outs that should have ended the inning. A couple of pitches later the hitter went deep. Unearned HR

Well this was in concern to Oliver Perez....there were two outs and back to back errors were committed that would have ended the inning....well this led to a jailbreak in which the Giants scored 7 runs....Well i noticed that he was credited with 6 earned runs for around 2 innings after this...but they have since changed it back to 2 earned runs. I thought I was right in that if an error extends an inning...the runs that are on base or thereafter dont count against a pitcher's era. thanks again

Were you looking on Yahoo? Sometimes they are a little slow in updating earned runs, compared to MLB GameDay or Sportsline scoring.

That's the utility of WHIP. If a pitcher gets shelled after an error extended an inning, ERA won't be affected but WHIP surely will.
