earned run average

noun earned run averages

  1. A statistic in baseball which equals the number of earned runs allowed per nine innings pitched. We can give you passing yardage if you want to talk quarterbacks, or earned-run average if you want to talk pitchers, or goals and assists if you want to talk hockey players, but, alas, professional football linemen, especially on the offensive side of the table, are not easily statisticized.
