Earned Runs using gamedetails api

[dhardy123]

Is there any way to determine earned and unearned runs using the gamedetails api without recreating the inning? Is there a field that stores this?

FTM can better answer your question, but take a look at this link as an FYI...looks like it...

No, there is not a field that stores this in the gamedetails call. You can use the game stats to get the earned vs unearned runs for a game, but you are not going to get earned vs unearned for each run scored other than on the scorecard where we shade earned vs unearned differently.

I knew I shouldnt have tried to answer a question on a subject I have no idea what I am talking about...

How do you know when to shade the scorecard differently?

[FTMSupport]

Our code that draws the scorecard evaluates the pitch by pitch data to determined earned or unearned run.

One other question on the gamedetails...how can i determine the number of pitches a pitcher has pitched? I see a pitchid for the game but it isnt reset when a new pitcher enters

For each PITCH node, it has an attribute that identifies the pitcher, and the RESULT node has a pitcherballs and pitcherstrikes attribute that identify how many balls and strikes that pitcher has thrown.
