I'm watching the Giants-Padres game. With no outs, Bonds popped a ball up that Piazza should have had, but Piazza dropped it. In the same at-bat, Bonds homered. Is his run earned? Nothing in the current article says otherwise (he didn't reach base on the error, though he wouldn't have reached base without it; also, the error did not extend the inning). If Bonds' run was unearned, what about the run scored by the runner on first when Bonds homered? --Trovatore 04:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

If the official scorer ruled the muffed pop fly as an error, the run is not earned. Refer to Rule 10.18(b) This link will take you there. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/official_info/official_rules/official_scorer_10.jsp Ken

Thanks. Maybe you'd like to add that info to the article. --Trovatore 20:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
