Scorekeeping
Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 11:13 am
I'm coming to y'all in an effort to make my scorekeeping as correct as possible. Thanks in advance!
A new pitcher comes in the 5th inning with one out (his first trip to the plate for the season) - he gives up three runs without recording an out. The game is called by the 10-run mercy rule.
Because I cannot divide by zero (he has no innings pitched since he didn't record an out), he does not have an ERA. Do I just wait until he does get some numbers (an inning pitched in his next game appearance) and calculate these previous ERs with the numbers from the second game?
Thanks!
