Innings pitched?

does anyone know why they call in 6.1 innings pitched if they pitch 6 inning and ond a thirdne out. it should be 6.33. cause that is 6 and a third.

Because when they are talking about stats 6.33 IP would look stupid... What does it matter anyways

plus for baseball instances it makes sense---since there are always 3 outs in an inning 6.1 is saying 6.1/3 which is your 6.33--- but shortening it for the implied outs it makes the stats easier to follow and make more sense to compare. 

they are wrong and for math experts like me in makes me mad

especially when a pitcher leaves when there is two outs and they say 6.2 IP. 6.2 IP is even less than 6.1/3 IP. 6.2/3 IP=6.66IP

but 6.2/3 is 6.66 so im not sure what you are missing.  They simply leave of part of the fraction because there are always 3 outs in an inning so it is implied.  I dont understand why it makes you mad--its actually the most simplistic and smart way of tracking stats.  If all the denominators will be out of 3 why should they include them in the stats?  Its just a waste of space and is not necessary.  Everyone knows what it means and it makes perfect sense... even math experts can appreciate consistency and simplified results :)
