do you know what arbitrary means? Or do you now just understand the rule?


for him to qualify for an ERA title, he'll have to pitch in at least 162 innings.

for him, right now, to qualify for the league leaders in ERA, he has to have thrown 96 IP.


technically, those are the facts.

It's arbitrary because why does the number of innings have to be tied to the number of games?

There is no logical reason as to why the number of innings has to equal the number of games other than that someone decided it would be a simple way to have a cut-off point.
