Nightly blown save

oh crap, that's right. Haney came in with the lead. Wasn't even really his fault. Given the shaky call by the ump to give Boston a walk, plus the Seager error on the next batter.



Is that actually a blown save? Only if Heaney would have finished the game, right?

Semantics I know but I don't think it's technically a blown save.

I think if you come in with a lead of 3 runs or less, and it's the 7th, 8th, or 9th inning (or later), you get a Hold if you don't give up the lead. Or you get a Save if you finish the game. Or.... you get a Blown Save if you give up the lead.

Huge difference with Jung in the lineup rather than sub-Mendoza-line Josh Smith being in there on a regular basis.

Heaney would have to pitch the final 3 innings to record the save. Otherwise, it is a hold.

I'm not arguing necessarily but I wouldn't consider it a blown save.

Here are the requirements to record a save:

Quote:

There are several different ways that you can earn a save.

The most important thing for you to note is that your team must be ahead for a pitcher to earn a save. Also, if you are the starting pitcher, you are not eligible to earn the win and the save. Finally, to earn a save, you must be the pitcher to finish the game.

In all scenarios, your team must be winning. If you are a relief pitcher and you come into a game and pitch three innings you can earn a save. If you are a relief pitcher and you enter the game with the tying run in one of three places: the on-deck circle, the bases, or at-bat you can earn a save. If you enter the game ahead by no more than three runs and pitch a full inning you can earn a save.

A save shows that you have prevented a threat. There's no threat if your team is up by ten and you pitch the last inning. Also, you can't create a save situation as a reliever. For example, if you enter the game winning by ten runs and surrender eight, you will not get credit for a save. If it is not a save situation when you enter the game, you cannot be credited with a save.

If you enter the game in a save situation, you are going to be credited with one of the following: a save, blown save, win, loss, or a hold.

Really needed that walk.

2 run lead feels a lot safer then 1 with this team.

Feels like we needed at least two more with our pen.

2 strike outs with bases loaded is awful, but at least got the lead back.

If we see Will Smith next inning, I might break everything in my house.

I wonder if we could pray for a rain out at this point.

I think in the common usage, Heaney gets the "blown save". But it's an unofficial, and pretty unuseful statistic. Non-closing relievers are almost never going to earn a save, but will get plenty of chances to blow one. If you are recording holds too, then you can make blown saves a bit more useful and calculate save percentage as

(Saves + Holds) / (Saves + Holds + Blown Saves)

I was thinking LeClerc too. Maybe Hedges if we get a big enough lead.

Luckily Bochy got tossed otherwise he'd probably be getting ready to run Will Smith back out there.

I'm not against giving him a blown save as he may have finished the game had we not given up the run.
