81.00 ERA & 9.00 WHIP

[stomperrob]

That's what Yahoo shows for Herges so far this week on the 2 teams I have him on - lovely!

[MLBfanatic04]

its because he let on 3 and let in 3 in 0 innings

and then got out the batter for the save

those stats are from a terrible outing.

[Zito is God]

Yeah, his ERA was infinite the one game where he couldn't get an out.

I never figuired out how yahoo average INF (Infinite ERA) with all you other ERAs.

[KolbSaves]

you don't average the ratios!!!

dear god some people can not understand this however many posts there are about it

total er / total ip *9 = era

total hits + total walks / total ip = whip

so add up all your er for your staff this week, divide by total ip for your staff this week, multiply by 9 and there you go

They just add the amount of runs to your total and divide your innings into your total ER, then multiply by 9.

Damn. Kolbsaves beat me to the punch.

.... I wish they would show the number of runs you're staff has given up, I like to figure out how many a questionable starter can give up and not lose me a lead in H2H. Sure the calculation isn't hard, but I'm lazy .

I thought it was ER times 9/innings pitched.

This is classic.

commutivity is a property of the real number field.
