ready for your math lesson...
6 1/3 ip.... to convert the fraction to decimals
take 1 and divide it by 3... what do you get??

jrhessey, swoosh is right on this one. If you pitch 6 1/3 innings, it should be stated 6.1 innings. Doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's just the way it is.

- GDawgs88 - 06-02-2004 02:37 PM
Yep, they're wrong, too.
- jrhessey - 06-02-2004 02:52 PM
so you're teling me you belive 1/3 = .1 and is proper mathematics??
I didn't say swoosh was wrong, I told him 6 and 1/3 innings pitched is 6.3 innings pitched...
I've seen espn and other sites, on tv also that say it the same way, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3... I understand what the stat is saying, but if .1 ip is one out, shouldn't there be 10 outs in an inning?? I think someone took a left turn in 3rd grade math somewhere...
but when you say 6 and 1/3 you are also saying 6.33333333333333333333333333... that is my point...
- zelinleaf - 06-02-2004 02:54 PM
for baseball that seems to be the proper mathematics

- jrhessey - 06-02-2004 03:27 PM
so as long as I say 6 and 1/3 instead of 6.3 you don't have a problm with it, even though they are the exact same thing??

Just for the sake of arguing...
Take Curt Schillings last start and figure out his ERA for the start...
7.2 IP and 4 ER. The formula for ERA is ER * 9 / IP.
- tysramm1 - 06-02-2004 08:44 PM
how does this prove anything, ERA is somewhere around 4.40
