A road win in extras is huge for them. But the talent level still isn't great . But it is fun when the youngin's come through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 The trend of save-less wins continues on, 13 wins and still just 2 saves. The 7 win Rockies have 5 saves. 21 teams have 10+ already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably thr 2024 Sox who set that record, if I had to guess. I would also guess that the record would have to be normalized for era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox had 21 saves last season and are well behind that pace despite being on track for more wins. That's the fewest since at least 2000 (not counting 2020). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear when I was growing up, it counted as a save if you came into the game in the last inning with the tying run in the hole. So a three run lead would obviously count, or something like bases loaded with a six run lead. Am I making that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have a 4 run lead with 2 runners on and you come in and finish the game, it's a save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 I have been as down on Vargas as anyone. If this change allows him to tap into some power and he plays good D, huge win for the org. Fuller earned his salary on one guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
