He gave up a homer with the bases juiced Izzy with another hit Woodchip is right. Any runs scored after there are two outs and there has been an error (where the guy didn't later get out) should be unearned. Intuitively, it makes sense. I disagree. An argument could easily be made that the batter (after the error) has nothing to do with the previous hitter. IMO, that run should be on Woody. Batter that hit the HR would not have batted in the inning had the error not been committed. yeah but he would have batted the next inning. The men on base should be unearned. I know that's not how its scored, but it should be. A home run is at least one run no matter what inning its hit in. The reason its not scored that way is because who knows where you draw the line? How many would be earned with an error followed by a triple followed by a single. What if that batter was in the ninth inning? had the batter came in the next inning, he would have faced another pitcher, and may not have still hit that homer. good point. Just shows why ERA is not as good a stat as WHIP
