I'm starting to think these aren't getting read by anyone who matters, but what the hell - I'm going to keep posting them anyway.

This unearned run issue couldn't be simpler. One out, batter gets a triple. He scores on a passed ball. The game credits the pitcher with an unearned run. So far, it's correct. The next batter singles, but the run remains unearned. This is not how it works in reality; that run would be an earned run, since he would have scored anyway, even without the passed ball.
