Scorekeeping

[oppool]

Bob,

Here the quote from the news article "seems a little-known rule in baseball's scoring system says that even though the catcher is assigned an error when he interferes with a batter, the error is not recognized when counting earned runs."

Sounds strange to me and I am sure Darren Oliver who this accounted against his ERA thinks so to since his ERA is 7.85
All 3 runs that were scored that inning after the "catchers interference" counted against the ERA
