Anyone playing Yahoo! Fantasy baseball

I really just dont understand. Every year this happens. In all my years of baseball i have never heard of a 54 (Yes no decimal) ERA. Its screwing my team up. And, to my knowledge there has been no team that has had 54 runs scored off of 1 pitcher. Am i missing something.

Yes my Team's Avg ERA reflects it.

<~~ Not a baseball fan but played junior varsity baseball in my high school freshman year, that was six years ago. Skipped varsity baseball in sophomore to play varsity golf instead.

Golf > Baseball

well if a picher gives up 6 runs in an inning and then gets taken out his average earned runs per game would be 6x9=54. If he piches more innings without giving up as many runs it will go down.

yea one of my releivers has an era of 36

You can have an ERA of infinity if you give up runs without recording an out.

 

[Toasthead]

yeah era is easy to figure out
earned runs x9 divided by innings pitched.

e.g. Clemens pitches 7 innings and gives up 2 earned runs:

2x9 = 18/7 = 2.57 ERA

Sounds like my team. Last night my public league had Hoffman and Vazquez pitching. That didn't turn out so well.

I have Smoltz pitching right now. Rather, I HAD Smoltz pitching. 7 earned in 1.2 innings. Hope Maddux does better tonight.
