I would like some of you knowledgeable score keepers to enlighten me on the guidelines and rules of thumb concerning awarding earned
runs. I realize this can be a subjective call with a lot of grey areas. I am also aware that some scorekeepers cook the books. Some of the situations that comes up are. Does it matter how the runner got on base to start with, such as a runner who reaches on an error and eventually scores on a base hit ? Then there is the reverse, the runner reaches on a base hit, walks or HBP and eventually scores on an error ? The other situation concernes how a runner got into scoring position. Runner reaches either error or base hit and the advances on error's or hits and eventually scores. Thanks in advance for your time and valuable input.
