I haven't looked, but if you pitch the last three innings you can get a save regardless of the score.

Bingo. Worley pitched the 7th, 8th and 9th.

Most famous save of all time was a game that was won 30-3 by Texas over Baltimore.

(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and
(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
- (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces; or

You guys have been around here longer than I have. Why haven't you figured this guy out? This is his MO. He says stupid shit, gets called on it, argues it until he's completely pinned down and then says he was just trolling you.

Ahh, how cute! Slankyredbutt is a psychoanalyst wannabe! Precious.

Yup, Abad did it earlier this year. First time for the Red Sox since Tazawa in 2012. Tim Wakefield had 6 of those saves in 2001/2002. Hoyt Wilhelm is the all time leader with 53 "3 IP" saves

Psychoanalyst? I made no claims as to why you do it, simply that you do.

 

[PolarVortex]

PolarVortex knows his shit

and Id plow his wife into the Seattle mountanside

You'd be hard (no pun intended) pressed to find a mountainside around here right now. Smoke from wildfires is insane. The Harley has an obscene coat if ash on it.

Sure, shrinky.

i forgot about the 3 IP thing. what constitutes "effectively" tho? isnt that an arbitrary standard thats open to interpretation?

At least you aren't dead.

Yes, and I saw on another link that the official rule book has dropped the word.

 

[Rock Strongo]

so whats the standard then?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Fuck an A, man!

I totally spaced on that yesterday. The other league I commish automatically sets the brackets.

ChiSox texted me while I was putting Slink Jr to sleep, said you were having a conniption.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

so whats the standard then?

Same thing, just doesn't say "effectively." This from the rule book:

9.19 Saves for Relief Pitchers

A save is a statistic credited to a relief pitcher, as set forth in this Rule 9.19 (Rule 10.19).

The official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions:

(a) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team; (b) He is not the winning pitcher;
(c) He is credited with at least 1⁄3 of an inning pitched; and (d) He satisfies one of the following conditions:

1. (1) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning;
   
   
2. (2) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batters he faces); or
   
   
3. (3) He pitches for at least three innings.
