LOL that's pretty funny.

There are the occasional laughers like that but I generally like the rule. It would be hard to pick a magic number above which to say you don't get a save, and I like the idea of "your team had a big lead but you made sure it stayed that way" -- and a bit of a reward for chewing some innings.

Another subtlety in the save rule that trips people up is if the closer comes in with 1 or 2 out in the 9th and nobody on base. That's not a save situation. With a 3 run lead and the tying run not on base, at-bat or the on-deck circle, have to pitch a full inning.
