Then you should also let the pitcher know that the low ERA is in part with his fielders making plays behind him.

If I told my son it wasn't his fault the team lost because the defense didn't get it done he get ticked. He would remind me they still made 21 plays. In newspaper interviews when asked about his game he always says the catcher called a great game and the players made the plays behind him. It's called accountability and teamwork. I'm guessing some pitchers here aren't being taught it.
