Era

I haven't been able to find any info on figuring ERAs when the pitcher has 1/3 or 2/3 of an inning above the major number. Example: 30 1/3 innings, or 18 1/3 innings. Any help will be appreciated.

18 1/3 innings = 18.3333

I'm not sure what this has to do with umpiring.

Does this help?

ERA = Earned Runs Allowed / Innings Pitched * 9 Innings

For more info, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_run_average

This is the Forum's heading. Do you read "umpiring" ANYWHERE?

I was using this formula before you were born. Try re-reading my post. I asked if there was a formula to use when there are 1/3 or 2/3 of an inning. Winky has nothing re: this.

blue, that was kind of rude, considering that even your reiteration of the question makes no sense. The formula is the same, whether the IP happens to be an integer or not. Simply plug your 9.333 or 30.333 or even 0.3333 into the formula. What's the issue?

2 runs, 5 innings - 2*9/5 = 3.60 ERA
2 runs, 5 1/3 innings = 2*9/5.333333 = 3.375 ERA

I'm glad you were able to calculate ERA before some of us were born - but I fail to understand why you can do so with integer IP's, but not any other IP's.

The "issue" is, that I hadn't read 10.22 fully before. As for rude, tough noogies. The guy gave me no valid answer. And for you, I'm not a mathematician, and don't understand your gobbledygook.

I read many things; books, magazines, newspapers, etc.

What is "better reading" than OBR, and the various Rule Books? Especially when I umpired for 44 years, and still keep up on the rules as a fan.

No offense, here, but he gave you a perfectly valid answer. I don't think he could have assumed that the real problem here was that you didn't understand fractions. Heck (and again, no offense intended - I normally expect very solid postings and opinions from you), my 8-year old knows that 1/3 is 0.333333333... I think it's fair for us to assume that you did too.
