tRA Changed to tERA
As a few of you have noticed, tRA was on hiatus for a couple days. Now it’s back, but as tERA. Quite simply, tRA is on a runs allowed scale and not an earned runs allowed scale, which I believed caused some confusion, especially when I placed it right next to xFIP, which is on an ERA scale.
It seemed the natural thing to do was to compare tRA to ERA/FIP/xFIP and with tRA on a runs allowed scale that didn’t quite work, but now it should.
To convert back to tRA, just divide by .92.

can we get it on the ‘leaders’ page? makes for easy comparison/sorting.
This will come in a later update along with getting wRC+ on the leaderboards.
