I agree, a blown save should only be given in the 9th or extra innings
I think the save in and itself is silly. However, since the stat does exist, it is a bit absurd to say a save can’t be blown before the 9th.

I mean even if a pitcher has 0 chance of staying in a game and actually receiving a save, he still blew the opportunity for someone else.

“I mean even if a pitcher has 0 chance of staying in a game and actually receiving a save, he still blew the opportunity for someone else.”
Ok, so he gets nothing or a Scarlet Letter? Nice, that is just as silly.
But he couldn’t get a save, so to get a blown save is dumb. Just call it a blown hold. He gets a hold or a blown hold. The last guy gets a save or a blown save. Not that hard.

The save situation is irrespective of the player on the mound save for Rule 3.c. It is a situation in the game. It is defined in the rule books as: if there is at least an inning left in the game, the lead is 3 runs or less, and/or the tying run is at most the second batter the pitcher faces. The pitcher enters in a save situation and is charged with preserving that save situation. If said pitcher preserves the situation until the conclusion of the game, he is rewarded a “Save.” If said pitcher preserves the situation for another pitcher he is awarded a “Hold.” If a pitcher fails to preserve the situation he is awarded a “Blown Save.”
Truly this is one of the simplest rules in the book. Controversial only when it comes to bullpen management. You, MFin, are the first person I’ve ever heard of who cannot comprehend it, in any language. Kudos to you.

The Braves continue their hunt for what one exec categorized as “an impact starting pitcher” — but not necessarily the usual suspects. Their customary M.O. is not to shop for rent-a-players. So it makes sense that one starter they’ve scouted extensively is Seattle’s Jason Vargas, who can’t be a free agent until after next season. – Jayson Stark

No it isn’t. It is probably the most convoluted rules in the book. And it really doesn’t make sense to give a guy a blown save when he isn’t going to get a save. Makes much more sense to give a guy a save who is pitching in the last inning of a game, an inning in which culminates with a blown save or a save.

We are basically going shopping in the bargain bin for a starter. Really won’t be an impact guy. Very similar impact to Derrek Lee, Rick Ankiel, Kyle Farnsworth, Casey Kotchman, Nate McLouth. Heck maybe even as good as a Juan Francisco, Troy Glaus type.

Not so sure we actually need an “impact pitcher” right now. We have a number one and number two in Hudson and Hanson – a number three if Jurrjens is truly back – at least most of the way and Minor/ Delgado, while somewhat inconsistent are going to cover either the number four or number five slot.

We lost last night because their pen stepped up and got the job done, clutch pitching with men on base. They were the better team.
And Kimbrell was human, that was gonna happen.
Got to do better vs te Nats, whom I think are the best team in the league and with no real great tem in the NL, if I were betting I’d put a wager on them to go to the series if the post season started now.

A study by Jeff Zimmerman in 2010 determined that during the previous decade, any starter who had pitched at least 120 innings in one season had a 41 percent chance of hitting the DL the following year. From 2005-2011, an average of just less than 11 Tommy John surgeries were performed through June, according to data collected by BP injury authority Corey Dawkins. This year, the count is already up to 23, with pitchers like Jose Contreras, Felipe Paulino and Daniel Hudson likely to add to the total in the coming weeks.

The rule is pretty straight forward and easy enough to understand.
What I don’t like is how major league managers seem to play to the rule more often than not. I’d be a heckuva lot more likely to use my best guy in the 7th or 8th if it was a critical time for the team. Why blow the save early with a lesser pitcher?

I hope that you are right DS1, though I respectfully disagree with you.
To be in that 89 to 91 or 92 game level, one of the bottom rotation pitchers will have to overachieve & given that both Randall and Minor are in their learning phase in the game, that is not likely.
Or, they have to trade for a cheap starter where they do not give up much and that guy goes on a surprising tear.
And most imperitively, we need the good Johnny Venters back and I do not think we get that this yr, maybe next yr.
I do see this nucleus of players possibly doing something special by 2014 and having a two or 3 yr window of opportunity if things break right. It depends, lots can happen.

Your statement doesn’t jive. If Delgado, Minor and Teheran are in their “learning phases” of pitching; then you’d think they would improve over time. And over time meaning over the course of the year.
Not a guarantee of course, but look at most young pitchers records. They tend to get better, or get released.
So if we expect them to get better (and I truly do with Minor and Delgado), then I’d expect their second half to be a bit better than the first half.

“There is no excuse. How can the Yankees lose a game as important as last night’s game was??? That would have put them another game up on Baltimore!”
The difference there is that when push comes to shove you know that the NYY will be there. They do not win it all every yr but they are there and in the post season every single yr, every yr except one since the 6 division format.
NYY fans KNOW that their owners will do what is necessary to put the most competitive product on the field and that $$$$$$$$ is not the big issue. Yankee fans should be calm and enjoy the process of the season.
We do not have that anymore. Frank Wren shops at goodwill to put the team together, the Steinbrenners shop at Nieman Marcus.
So the season is not as much fun for those who are H bent on winning. I have accepted the Braves for what they are and have stopped being disappointed.

Not So Hot Sheet:
Julio Teheran, rhp, Braves: Teheran is battling Montgomery for the title of most disappointing Triple-A pitching prospect. The Braves have put out an APB for anyone who can start now that Brandon Beachy is on the shelf and Mike Minor is struggling. But Teheran has not been able to make a solid case for promotion. His 4.50 ERA for Gwinnett is nearly two runs worse than his 2.55 ERA for the G-Braves last year. Most importantly, Teheran isn’t getting the swings and misses you would expect for a pitcher with often-electric stuff. That was especially true last night when he gave up nine runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Two clubs that have spoken with the Angels report they’re “desperate to get a bullpen piece, if it’s a really good bullpen piece.” And those clubs say the Angels are willing to dangle Peter Bourjos in the right deal.
If he’s not traded already, I could see the Braves going after Bourjos in CF to replace Bourn this offseason. He’s close to his equal defensively and if we can get a banger in LF like Josh Willingham, they could go light with the bat in CF.

You think the Yankees fans are OK with the fact they have had their azzes handed to them in the playoffs for a large part of the past 5 years? Are you kidding me? They are probably a heckuva lot more ticked in general than most ATL fans; BECAUSE they always have money to buy the championship, yet they still don’t win it every year.
And you and I have differing opinions on what’s acceptable and what’s not. I don’t like losing either, but I am a realist. If there ain’t no money to spend, there ain’t no money to spend. Why complain about something that will NOT change. Like hitting your head against a brick wall. All you get is bloody.

“I can only imagine what [Mike Trout and Bryce Harper will] be five, six, seven years from now, as they start to mature and learn the league. If they stay healthy, we’re talking about guys who can be in the same category as an Albert or a Chipper.”

Sutton prefers to wear, and on many occasions has worn a suit and tie while on the air for Fox Sports Arizona, while the Diamondbacks organization prefers — actually mandates — the broadcast crew to wear polo shirts featuring the team’s logo.
So yes, the Diamondbacks obviously don’t prefer a sharp dressed man in their booth, and they don’t love Daron Sutton’s suits, either.
Apparently the differing opinions over what constitutes a professional appearance has been a point of contention between the two sides for most of Sutton’s six years in the Arizona booth, and the powers that be finally decided to put their foot down after Sutton made what Piecoro termed as a “veiled reference” to the dress code during the June 20 broadcast. Sutton was nowhere to be found for the June 22 broadcast against the Chicago Cubs, and hasn’t been seen or heard from on a broadcast since.

I’m sick of the incompetence of the BRAVES. I need to find a team that wins all their games and has no BUMBS on their roster, and a manager that is smart, unlike FREDI. Can anyone help me find this team?

He’s close to his equal defensively and if we can get a banger in LF like Josh Willingham, they could go light with the bat in CF.
That’s exceedingly light in CF.

Some people with tiny brains don’t ever seem to understand the concept of you damn well better do what the boss tells you to do….
What an idiot that Sutton clearly is….unless he’s independently wealthy.

About as light as it gets. But he can run…..
