I am arguing with a pitcher parent whether either of these count as earned runs against their DD.
1. a walked batter scores 2 batters later on a hit they say walked batters are not counted as earned runs
2. No outs, Batter hits a triple. The next batter hits to the the 3rd baseman who looks the runner back and throws the batter out at first. The runner on third takes off on the throw. After the out at first the 1st baseman throws home but over the catchers head. Would the runner have scored on a good throw most likely not. Next batter hits a single. Parent argues because of the error on the throw no earned run.
