OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - RP comes in with 9 run lead, but gets credited with save

Well, it was created in large part as a response to the W/L stat, which is far stupider, so if they're going to get rid of one, they should get rid of the other first.

But baseball is a tradition-heavy game and I don't see any of them disappearing any time soon.

Also, like everything else, things even out. I actually had this come up in an ST game yesterday:

Pitcher 1 - 0.1 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 3 ER -- gets a hold
Pitcher 2 - 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 0 ER -- gets a blown save

The 1 hit Pitcher 2 gave up was a bases-clearing double to the first guy he faced.

Closers and setup guys get cheap saves/holds, but they also get blown saves when brought into very difficult situations.
