Scorekeeping

Don:

Oliver was charged with seven (7) runs, four (4) of them earned. Here's the recap of that inning:

"Tony Clark hit an RBI single before Palmer's two-run double made it 7-0 in the second. Those three unearned runs came right after a catcher's interference call against Doug Mirabelli, on a play that Higginson had apparently made the third out with a liner that Oliver caught."

This is from:

These are Oliver's stats to date: 28 runs, 25 earned.

So it seems it's another case of a media moron spouting off about something he has no knowledge of.
