	Earned run - BR Bullpen
		An earned run is a run that is ruled by the official scorer to have resulted exclusively from actions by the batting team and not because of errors by the defense.
		The run by E is considered unearned for the team because the groundout by F should have ended the inning, but it's considered earned for Pitcher 2 because he doesn't get the benefit of the error committed while 1 was pitching.
		Earned runs were originally intended as an offensive measure, showing how much of a team's scoring was the result of their batting success rather than the other team's fielding mistakes.

		First of all...NO run that is scored by a batter that becomes a runner as a result of an error or a passed ball will ever be scored an earned run.
		As a score keeper you learn to project earned runs as the inning unfolds and calculate where runners would be had no errors or passed balls occurred.
		The runner who had reached on the error by the ss scores, and that run is unearned but the runs scored by the home run hitters are both earned and counted against the relief pitcher as earned even though the inning should have been over with the grounder to ss.

	Baseball Almanac - Baseball Rules
		An earned run is a run for which the pitcher is held accountable.
		In determining earned runs, the inning should be reconstructed without the errors (which include catcher's interference) and passed balls, and the benefit of the doubt should always be given to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by errorless play.
		Earned run average shall be calculated on the basis of total innings pitched including fractional innings.

	Calculating Earned Run Average in Baseball - Free Math Help
		An earned run is any run that the opponent scores off a particular pitcher except for runs scored as a result of errors.
		Therefore, if Curt Schilling is charged with 19 earned runs in his first 89 innings pitched, his ERA would be 19 divided by 89, which is.2135, times 9, which is 1.92, a very good number.
		By calculating runs/innings you have only figured out earned runs per inning, but you must keep in mind that an ERA is actually earned runs per nine innings, since a regulation game is 9 innings.

		If a relief pitcher enters the game with his team leading by one run, 2 outs in the inning, and the bases loaded, then gives up a single which scores two runs, he is not charged with those runs.

		For another thing, believing in "earned" and "unearned" runs isn't nearly as harmful as, say, believing that RBI are meaningful for evaluating hitting.
		The main problem with unearned runs isn't errors, it's the notion that the pitcher's job ends whenever an error is made.
		Preventing unearned runs is a skill that pitchers have, and it usually comes hand-in-hand with the ability to prevent earned runs.

	Rule - Earned Run PITCH SOFTBALL: Valuable softball pitching advice for girl softball pitchers
		We feel that in a majority of the situations the person keeping the official scorebook for the game looks only at how the run-scorer had initially gotten on base to determine whether or not the scored run was earned or unearned.
		Our role in discussing this subject is not to make or change the rules that your team should follow, but instead to point out that many scorers do a disservice to pitchers by scoring earned runs erroneously.
		When reconstructing the inning to determine which runs are earned, a relief pitcher does NOT receive the benefit of previous chances for outs for the runners she put on base

	Homerunweb -- Earned Run Average (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As the basic statistical measure of a pitcher, ERA determines the average number of earned runs scored against a pitcher every nine innings; an earned run is a run that's the pitcher's fault, while an unearned run, which is usually the result of a fielding error, is not.
		So, for example, a pitcher with a 3.50 ERA is expected to allow three and a half earned runs whenever he pitches a complete game.
		To be eligible for the yearly ERA championship, a pitcher must have thrown at least one inning for every game his team played, usually 162.

	Encyclopedia of Baseball Catchers - CERA - Catcher's Earned Run Average
		Most experts (meaning managers, coaches, pitchers and catchers) believe that the aspect of the catcher's job that has the most impact is his game-calling, that is, his ability to work with pitchers and help them throw more effectively.
		The standard and most acceptable measure for a pitcher is the Earned Run Average (ERA).
		A recent attempt at measuring a catcher's defensive skills is the CERA, which basically is the Earned Run Average of the battery (catcher and the pitchers on a team) for each specific catcher as compared to all other catchers and their batterymates.
