I have a baseball scoring question for the group.
In one inning, a pitcher has two outs and then an error is made. After that, all runs scored will be unearned because there would have been three outs in the inning if the error wasn't made.
What if, in the same inning, the team brings in another pitcher? Are all runs that the new pitcher gives up unearned also even though no outs were recorded when he was pitching? It would seem odd that a pitcher could pitch in an inning without it being possible to give up an earned run.
Baseball scoring experts, please set me straight.
