---Somebody coined the name stat head in a post---Is the amount of errors helping the ERA and costing us games???

Yes it is Boomer......BUT, most losses are more due to offensive production that is down. Cajuns flat out pounded the holy schist regularly against most decent to mediocre teams last year. If your team sucked (exception being UNO game), game was over by the middle innings. It's run production/batting average/QAB%/power numbers that are all noticeably down.

Errors don't help your ERA because, by definition, the runs don't score without those errors. That's why they're unearned.

Costing us ballgames? Yeah... probably.
