Another interesting thing to note:

If a relief pitcher is placed in the middle of an inning with Runner's On, he is not ERA responsible for those runners. The original pitcher in the inning who gave up those runners (assuming no erros and they were legit reaching base) would be responsible. Only in that case. If runners are one, the first pitcher of the inning can actually be charged with the loss if those runners are brought home, given that he is responsible for the possibly tieing or go ahead runs.
