right

STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.

by UnleashTheGore on Aug 21, 2008 3:53 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Actually

It is an earned run. Wild pitches don’t turn earned runs into unearned runs.

Also, you get RBIs for knocking in unearned runs, as long as they aren’t scoring on an error on the ball you hit. Example: Your buddy reaches on an error with two outs and you on deck. You hit a home run. The pitcher gets two unearned runs and you get two RBI.

However, you don’t get RBIs on:

- Wild Pitches
- Passed Balls
- Steal of Home
- Error on a ball you hit that causes a run to score
- GIDP
- Balk
and maybe one more thing

Thats why teams have slightly fewer RBI than they have R.
