It's pretty cool to win with no earned runs

The last 3 guys got hits. How is a homerun not earned?

I understand the base runners getting on from errors not being earned runs, but why is Jones’ HR not 1 earned run?

Jones hr was earned

Guess official scorer determined the first two errors would have ended the game, so all subsequent runs are unearned

I’ve been following baseball for a long time, and Im 99.999% sure this is not correct.

The beck and curriel rbis should be unearned, yes.
But Beck, curriel, and Jones should all be earned runs. I even did the books back in high school. You can’t deem future runs as unearned just because Tennessee should have gotten out of an inning.

Edit: I very well might be wrong, but I feel decently confident in what I said above

The first two runs got on base via E5.

Reaves walked. Beck singled. Curiel singled. Jones homered.

I would've thought the first two runs were unearned but the last four earned?

It just seems dumb that a pitcher that gives up 3 hits, including a 452 ft homerun, has no earned runs for the outing

Agree, but it would be a mess trying to sort out earned vs unearned another way.

That needs to get fixed. Bear's Homer was a legit hit.

---

Correct. It was a hit.

quote:

---

Every single error potentially ends the chance of winning

The potential "winning" part only happened because it was the 9th inning. You can't go back inning by inning and point to specific errors that prevented the final outcome. It doesn't work that way. That's like blaming someone who cut you off in traffic early in the morning for making you late for an appointment later in the evening.

and no one ever stops adding hits or errors until the last out.

---

Not sure what that means, but all hits and errors are recorded up until the last out,

They were scored as WP (not PB) which puts cause on pitcher which makes them ER.

dude, anybody that follows baseball, or every played it, SHOULD know that anything that happens after there should have been 3 outs if not for errors, are all unearned. The fact that you bragged about being a score keeper makes it even worse.
