Travis Ozga's hit a 3 run HR…. has he done that in the last 3 games? I'll check that later on.
Not a bad recovery by Morrison, 5 IP 3 hits 4 ER 5 K's… bad part is the 4 BB's, granted the weather. Either way, better than his last start.

The Good:
- Jeremy Griffiths went 3-for-3 with 2 RBI, SB and 2 runs.
- Travis Ozga 3-for-4 with 5 RBI, 3 run HR and 2 runs.
- No errors in the field.
The Bad:
- Daniel Cook struggled going 0-for-5 at the plate, but after last night's grand slam, we can forgive him. ;)
The Ugly:
- Pitchers combined for 5 BB, 2 HBP, allowed a triple, double and HR. Got in and out of jams all night.
Eberhart continues to struggle. 2 more earned runs balloons his ERA to 21.60. We can expect better.

Re: Eastern Michigan Game 1 thread...
ERA is "Earned Run Average", therefore only effected by runs earned per 9 innings pitched.
BUT, there is another stat that calculates what you are asking about, which is referred to as WHIP. Some coaches would argue this is more important than ERA, but it's not discussed in the same context (i think that's because its complicated).
WHIP:
W= Walks H= Hits IP = Innings Pitched
Here's how to figure out WHIP
WHIP = (Walks + Hits) / Innings Pitched (IP)
- Add up all the Innings the Pitcher has pitched, including thirds
- Add up all the hits and walks the pitcher has allowed
- Divide the number of hits and walks by the number of innings pitched
Take Adam Morrison's stats from last night for an example:
Walks (BB) = 4 Hits = 3 Innings Pitched = 5
4 + 3 = 7 divide by IP so… 7/5 = 1.4 WHIP
A good WHIP hovers right around 1.2-1.5 over the course of a season.

that's good stuff…i never even heard of WHIP!
it sounds like a solid rating to use in tandom with ERA…
i mean if a guy strikes out 12, but gives up 4 runs (due to errors) then it looks like he stinks….and would inadvertenly take a "hit" statistically - even though he did a great job K'ing folks…

So say someone leads off and hits a ball between the short stops legs, that's an error. If that runner scores later on its unearned and won't effect his ERA.
