I thought I was nuts last night when I looked at the box scores, but its still there today. How did Paulino get a save by pitching to 1 hitter while up 5 runs? Even if Meaux had 3 people on base for Reynoso, that still would have left them down 1 run.

I believe a save is awarded if the potential tying run is at the plate or on deck......

Yup, I looked it up. Here is the save rule for those who have not already put it to memory.....

 

SAVES FOR RELIEF PITCHERS

10.20

Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions: (1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and (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 © He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.

Thanks Rex.

Thanks a buch Jim, I been trying to get over Strep Throat feeling a lot better today after having a 103 Fever yesterday. It helps that I am watching my Sox's win as well

Feel better BHAM. Do you know if there was any reason why Jenks didn't close last night?

The only reason was Hannigan was a lefty and Rey hasn't given up a hit to a lefty yet and has made them look bad in the process.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for posting this Jim. Good to see Liotta get back on track and have Sweeney with a nice game.
