Earned runs are specially denoted because of their use in calculating a pitcher's earned run average.
In determining earned runs, the official scorer must reconstruct the inning as it would have occurred without the errors (which include catcher's interference ) and passed balls, with the benefit of the doubt always being given to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by errorless play.
