Which, if you're correct, makes absolutely no sense. New pitcher, clean slate...What's the difference between this scenario, and the new pitcher starting a new inning? If teh subsequent runs he gives up are unearned, you're letting him come into the game with nothing to lose on his ERA.
Which is why I would guess that for a new pitcher, the runs would be earned, as they should be. The error didn't affect him , it affected the previous pitcher.
The whole thing sucks. This game sucks. I might not play anymore (yeah, right) :rolleyes:
