It appears that if a pitcher, say like Bailey yesterday, pitches a third of an inning and gives up one hit, the computer is showing him with a WHIP of 10 instead of 3. I believe the guy doing the programming believes that 0.1 innings is a TENTH of an inning instead of a THIRD of an inning. Simple math error, but must be corrected ASAP.

In another thread (which you can't possibly be expected to have read, I know) Greg said that this will be fixed soon.
I'd insert some snarky comment about needed subject matter experts on the programming staff, but not my style :-p

This might be the most disturbing thing to hear of the whole **** storm.
They did not even get something as basic as a math calculation right? One guy makes a mathematical mistake and it's not discovered in testing (guess there was none) or someone else looking over that guys work?
