the formula to calculate ERA is
( # of earned runs X 9) / (# of innings pitched)
however, you cannot divide by 0....
so what is a pitcher's ERA if he gives up 1 run but pitches 0 innings (he doesnt get an out)?
what about if the pitcher gives up 10 runs and but pitches 0 innings?
would his ERA have to wait to be calculated until he gets that first out of the season?
