So in reality his ERA is somewhere between 0 and infinity. If the 0 runs is bigger than the 0 outs, than it approaches infinity. If the 0 outs are bigger then the 0 runs if approaches 0. Steve uses the "-" symbol to represent a number that is somewhere between 0 and infinity.

They have no ERA. Before a season starts, pitchers have 0IP. Batters have 0AB. They don't have infinite ERAs or BAs. They don't have ERAs or BAs. If a batter walks in his first plate appearance of the season, he does not go to the top of the BA table. He doesn't have a BA, and won't until he registers an official AB. A pitcher who pitches without surrendering a run or recording an out is akin to a batter walking. He doesn't get an ERA until one of those 2 events occur.
