		The first averages were "runs per game" (which determined the first batting champions) and "catches missed per game" to judge fielding.
		And "runs per game," taking errors out of the mix, became "earned runs per game," but it was still a batting stat, not a pitching stat.
		Columns included "runs scored by opponents" and "average runs per game" plus "percentage of base hits made by opponents to times at bat," or what we today would call opponents' batting average.

	Baseball statistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The practice keeping of records of the achievements of the players was started in the 19th century by Henry Chadwick, who devised the predecessors of statistics like batting average, runs scored, and runs allowed based on his experience of cricket.
		Traditionally, statistics like batting average for batters (the number of hits divided by the number of at bats) and earned run average (approximately the number of runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings) have governed the statistical world of baseball.
		WHIP (walks+hits per inning pitched) and OOPS (opponent on-base plus slugging) are popular statistics; however, if DIPS theory is correct, a pitcher has little control over these statistics.

		Base Runs, in contrast, is a technique for run estimation that actually models the run scoring environment and is accurate in a wide range of contexts.
		When you divide the above estimate by number of innings pitched and divide by nine, the result is the expected runs allowed per nine innings.
		In Wang’s case, the BsRA9 statistic suggests he should have allowed 3.84 runs per nine innings, a figure that is signficantly lower than the 4.49 runs he did allow.

	Internet Baseball Statistics: Glossary
		Calculated as batter's batting runs minus (position-average batting runs times batter's outs made divided by position-average outs made), where outs made is at-bats minus hits plus caught stealing.
		An estimate of the number of batting runs the batter contributed above or below the average of starters at his position given the same number of outs.See Evaluating Batting.
		For a few years after official adoption by both leagues, runs aided by stolen bases, hit batsmen, and wild pitches were frequently not counted as earned, and runs aided by a pitcher's own errors were often counted as earned.

		Almost as an insult to his incredible statistical performance, the Diamondbacks scored only 3.99 runs per nine innings while Randy was on the hill for them in ’04.
		And the sad part of this whole deal is that this average was actually more than they averaged for the entire season: they put up a paltry 3.796 runs per game over their full slate of 162 contests.
		And because nine of Johnson's losses would have been reversed by the Yankee runs, his loss total could have dropped from 14 to five.

		Take the number of earned runs (runs scored against a pitcher that otherwise did not score because of fielding errors) and multiply by nine.
		Let's say Nate Robertson has allowed 21 earned runs in 59 2/3 innings (the official scorer will let you know whether the runs are earned or unearned), which also happens to be the number of earned runs he had dispensed heading into the weekend.
		Now we divide that product by the number of innings he has worked (59 2/3, or for the benefit of your calculator, 59.666) and, holy Christy Mathewson, we end up with an ERA of 3.17, which, again, is exactly what Robertson had accumulated heading into the weekend.

		The Astros scored an average of 6.83 runs per nine innings while Robertson was pitching.
		Robertson's 6.83 runs of support per nine innings was 43% better than the rest of the pitching staff got (4.77 R/9).

		However, he was just ninth in the AL in ERA, 12th in innings pitched, second in wins, third in strikeouts, seventh in quality starts (six innings pitched with three or fewer earned runs allowed) and eighth in OPS allowed.
		Clemens' 20-1 run through August had many observers already anointing him with the Cy Young — marveling at his great record and ignoring the fact that he had the second-highest run support of any AL pitcher.
		His run support of 4.53 runs per nine innings was in the range of what former teammate Jason Johnson got from the pathetic Orioles' offense in 2001.

		Moises Alou's two-run homer in the sixth inning wiped out the lead Bobby Kielty's RBI double in the fourth gave the A's and provided the Giants with all the offense they needed in a 3-1 victory in the finale of a three-game Interleague series at SBC Park.
		Zito, who gave up two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four in 7 1/3 innings, has allowed three earned runs or less in five of his 10 starts this year -- and he's 1-2 with two no-decisions in those games.
		Told Sunday evening that he entered the day with the sixth-worst run support in the American League (2.6 runs per nine innings), and that the A's have scored a grand total of three runs in his five losses this year, he didn't blink.

		Foulke also does not give up free bases as he allowed just 1.51 walks per nine innings last year and his 4.46 strikeout to walk ratio last year was very impressive.

		One theme underlies much of sabermetricians' work over the past quarter-century: a return to the idea that the most important things to count are runs and outs.
		Thus, statistics are more meaningful when they closely reflect how offenses do or don't score runs and how defenses do or don't prevent runs.
		Strikeouts per nine innings measures a pitcher's effectiveness in this area, and the strikeouts-to-walks ratio identifies pitchers who have great stuff and control.

	MEASURING THE ACCURACY OF RUNS FORMULAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For smaller samples such as an individual season or team-game, the error will be greater.) A possible drawback with this approach is that the number of runs charged to a pitcher may not reflect the runs deserved, due to the effect of partial innings and relief pitchers.
		Few pitchers are good enough to allow under three runs per nine innings for a season, while those bad enough to yield more than seven don't usually pitch long.
		Results are presented using the standard deviation of the difference between the predicted number of runs and the actual runs, the mean of that difference, and the square of the correlation produced by a linear regression equation (coefficient of determination.)

		Runs Created per 27 Outs takes this result and divides by the number of outs created by the player (AB - H + DP + CS + SH + SF).
		Run support is the number of runs scored by the team in games in which this pitcher started.
		DMB tracks the number of these runners who later scored when a relief pitcher was on the mound because some pitchers can have their ERAs helped or hurt based on how well or poorly their relievers handle the situations they left behind.

		Even in the last inning of play, with the shortened rest period, Orlovsky showed no signs of weakness, striking out the side in order in the top of the inning to preserve the 1-0 win.
		Four first inning runs by JHU put the game away early, while back-to-back home runs in the sixth by Christ and Milo put the icing on the cake of an 11-1 win.
		These would be the only runs that Christ would need as the last of his 184 pitches turned into a grounder to short which killed the last rally to give JHU the 8-6 win.

	A Question About Pitching - www.scout.com
		It's the ability of elite starters to dramatically change the run environment of their games that makes their runs saved more valuable than average.
		For pitchers, concentrating their runs saved in a few games increases their value; but for hitters it's the reverse.
		Yet Pedro's runs saved are worth about 21% more in wins than the hitter's runs created, so the difference in value is much less than the 112:67 ratio implies.

	THT Glossary
		This stat is based on the number of home runs allowed divided by total number of batters faced, times the average number of batters per game in that specific league (generally around 38 batters a game).
		The notion behind Pitching Runs Created is that a run saved is worth more than a run scored, and PRC puts runs saved on the same scale as runs scored.
		Research has shown that home runs allowed are pretty much a function of flyballs allowed and home park, so xFIP is based on the average number of home runs allowed per outfield fly.

	NetShrine Discussion Forum - The wizard of Oz
		Haha, I know thats a joke, but I did think about the defensive contributions of his teamates, but I figured that Ozzie's career was long enough to play with many different players and he also played for the padres for four years.
		My reading of the statistical evidence is that Ozzie saved 25 to 30 runs a year compared to the average defensive shortstop (compared to having Dave Kingman or Cecil Fielder play shortstop, Oz probably saved 100 or more runs per year, but that comparison would be the same as not having anyone cover the position).
		The difference in runs per game for pitchers playing without ozzie and when they played with ozzie was.955.
