I know that SRR is the # rolls / # sevens. The problem with that is the seven on a come roll is like an error in baseball ( the runner gets first base but it hurts his batting average).
Today’s practice session is a perfect example. My SRR was 5.78 but I won money. My "adjusted" SRR (# rolls / # shooters) was 8.84.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to use # rolls / # shooters?
Thanks

If you are not, you are trying to avoid the seven on the come out just as you are in the point cycle. The dice don’t know it is a come out roll. Those sevens are just as bad in practice as any other seven.
Yes, at the tables you would not seven out but that is just luck not skill. The SRR is a measure of your ability to avoid the seven, not your ability to get lucky.
Your analogy to baseball is a good one. You are lucky when you get on base due to an error. You did not get there by skillfully hitting the ball safely for a hit. Your batting average should represent your skill not your luck.
