| If the first batter reaches on an error and the next hits into a double play, why would a run scored afterwards be unearned? There was no one on base to score that should have been out. Updated Wednesday, February 2 2022 @ 9:10:18 pm PST |

| Sounds like a logic error in the engine. Possibly a bug with double plays following an error? | ||

| No idea. Unearned runs have always seemed a bit goofy in this game. Such as an error allowing someone to reach base and a 2 run homer with less than 2 outs would be 2 unearned runs rather than 1. Runs that score on a wild pitch also seem to be unearned. 5th inning: https://brokenbat.org/game/4388546 The other runs were unremarkable as a result, Lujan was charged with 3 ER of 4. I think it should be clarified how the rules here are different than regular baseball, since it could affect whether and when a pitcher is replaced. |

| If there are two outs when the error occurs then anything after that would be considered "unearned" since technically the inning should have ended already, I believe. | ||

| Yep. But that was not the case here. | ||

| So you're saying the error and the double play are essentially double counting the out and therefore runs scored afterwards should be earned. I'm not sure if this is right - I see the point. I'll look into it. I agree...I'm not sure the game engine is as sophisticated as an official score keeper. Thanks, Steve |
