Earned Runs

Not sure if there's been discussion on this before or not, but the game does not properly tabulate earned runs on passed balls and similar situations where an error doesn't result in the batter reaching base.

For example, say the bases are loaded with no outs. A passed ball allows the runner on third to score. Game credits that as an unearned run. However, the pitcher walks the next batter to load the bases again and that run should then become an earned run, since the run would have scored without the passed ball anyway. The game leaves it as unearned...
