August 23, 200719 yr 25 Runs after the 5th inning. Just crazy. If you are betting man I suggest you get on Texas for the second game of the double header.
August 23, 200719 yr Isnt this the O's managers first game after being made the long term guy instead of just interim?
August 23, 200719 yr Yes, it was his first. Maybe they should just keep a manager as interem and see what happens. And nice avatar by the way.
August 23, 200719 yr And Littleton was credited with a save? Yeah, according to the definition he gets credit for a save no matter what the margin if he pitches effectively for at least 3 innings.
August 23, 200719 yr Yeah, according to the definition he gets credit for a save no matter what the margin if he pitches effectively for at least 3 innings. I think the rule says that if a player pitches the final three innings and doesn't allow a run then he gets a save. I can't recall the last time I saw a save of that variety, though.
August 23, 200719 yr The best part about this is it was @Baltimore, and the first game of a doubleheader. I wonder how loud the boos were...:lol:
August 23, 200719 yr The Rangers become the first team in 110 years to score 30 runs in a game, setting an AL record Wednesday in a rout of the Orioles. http://www.cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/gamecenter/recap/MLB_20070822_TEX@BAL J. Saltalamacchia and R. Vazquez each had 2 HR's, 4 Hits & 7 RBI's.
August 23, 200719 yr I think the rule says that if a player pitches the final three innings and doesn't allow a run then he gets a save. I can't recall the last time I saw a save of that variety, though. Here's the rule straight from MLB's rulebook site: 10.19 Saves For Relief Pitchers A save is a statistic credited to a relief pitcher, as set forth in this Rule 10.19. The official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions: (a) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team; (b) He is not the winning pitcher; © He is credited with at least a third of an inning pitched; and (d) He satisfies one of the following conditions: (1) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; (2) 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 batters he faces); or (3) He pitches for at least three innings.
August 23, 200719 yr Amazing. He could have allowed 20 runs over the final three innings and still gotten a save according to the rule book :lol:
August 23, 200719 yr Next game they will score 3 or less. They're already at 3 through the 3rd inning.........
