Looks like you just took the ERA numbers from the 3 pitchers and averaged them.

You cant take 3 ERAs average them, and call that their average ERA, doesn't work that way...

Yeah, I got that weighted average game goin. Multiplied the ERA by the number of innings pitched, summed them, and divided by the number of innings pitched.

The average ERA of LSU's 3 starting pitchers THIS weekend is all I'm trying to point out.

Alternatively, you could sum up the earned runs allowed by those pitchers, multiply that number by 9 and then divide the product by the sum of the innings pitched by those pitchers.

Take the number of ER for all 3 pitchers and add them up. Then take the number of IP for all three and add them together. Divide the 1st number by the second one and you get earned runs per inning. Multiply that by 9 and you get the average ERA.

I know Henry and Hill are both out, but this is why we have lost so many games and will continue to do so with these injuries.
To some extent yes it has. But we lost a game to Bama because we scored 1 run. We lost a game to Ole Miss because we scored 1 run. There are several more instances of the same lack of offense which has contributed to the losses this team has suffered. Injuries are only one part of a host of problems for this team. We have 4 kids in our line up who strike out far to much. It seems that at least one of our outs with runners on base result in a strikeout. I don't see the LOB stat anymore, but from being a spectator at the games, I see there are a lot of games lost because of strikeouts by these 4 players with runners LOB. One of those players is far above the level where he has played at this season.

LSU Pitching Rotation
Posted on 5/9/19 at 12:39 pm to lsudbuwhoareu
Arkansas has been throwing Connor Noland (also backup QB) on Sunday's. He's a true Freshman and has been getting better with each start. Not overpowering but has good movement on ball. Extremely intelligent and will out think the batter and keep them guessing.

So it's been confirmed that neither hill nor Henry will pitch this weekend? I kind of figured but hadn't heard definitely. That sucks.

The latest is that they hope to be available by the SEC tournament. Note that available doesn't necessarily mean starting. More likely they'll be available for relief work.

yep, in a 30 game conference season, 2-3 games are very significant. Can be the difference, in certain situations, from being a national seed to not hosting at all, especially with how crowded the western division standings are this year.

while that is certainly true, we have started out a lot of these losses in big holes because pitching gives up a bunch of runs early. That can be somewhat deflating emotionally for a team constantly forced to come back in games. For instance, against Alabama, we found ourselves down 2-0 after the first inning and 4-0 through 3. Same thing happened in game 1 against Florida. We gave up 6 2nd inning runs. Not saying it completely excuses these offensive outputs, but there is a mental aspect to the game that isn't exactly quantifiable but is often completely ignored.
And if we really look at the numbers, our offense is pretty good in comparison to the rest of the conference. Our record is more attributable to our pitching woes/injuries IMO. You can't expect to have a good record in this league with a staff conference ERA of 4.81. Teams with worse ERAs than us are (in order) Auburn, Kentucky, Alabama, South Carolina, and Florida. None of those teams have a winning record in SEC play (Auburn is .500 in league play). We're actually third in the SEC in runs scored in SEC games. We lead the SEC bringing in runners from 3rd w/ fewer than 2 outs (by a lot). We lead the SEC in advancing runners. We're 4th in the SEC in BA w/ 2 outs. We lead the SEC in BA w/ the bases loaded (by a lot). Our leadoff hitter reaching base is 4th in the SEC. And we're 6th in the SEC in BA with RISP. So all in all, our hitting has been plenty good enough to compete in this league. Our pitching has just been bipolar and injury plagued.

No. If I have an era of 1 having pitched 9 innings, and you have an era of 2 after pitching 18 innings our combined era is the 4 runs you’ve surrendered plus the 1 run I’ve surrendered divided by 27/9 innings, so 5/3=1.67. If we just averaged the two eras it would give us 1.5.
