why does every baseball game have a save glitch?

Re: why does every baseball game have a save glitch?

sounds like his pitcher was effective. He was up by 6 runs and won by 8.

He gave up 3 runs, he said. Doesn't sound that effective to me.

(c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.

Oh, and writing your whole post in allcaps doesn't emphasize your point, it makes you look like a whiney baby. Don't get so defensive, man, it's just that you started accusing people of not knowing the rules when in actual fact we do. You don't see us losing it, do you?

i did exactly that and got no save so how do you explain that?

Re: why does every baseball game have a save glitch?

The rule is pretty subjective, you have to pitch effectively for 3 innings.

I never knew that part of the rule.
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
(c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.

Rule 3(a)
The tc said he was already up by 6 runs,so according to his situation and what the rule states,that would not have been a save situation when he brought in his closer.

Wrong. Conditions 1 and 2 must be met, as well as 3a OR 3b OR 3c.

The reason he didn't receive a save was because his pitcher didn't pitch "effectively", (he gave up a few runs).

Re: why does every baseball game have a save glitch?

The original poster is correct. If a pitcher throws the last 3 innings and is successful over those 3 innings, that player is typically awarded a save. It is subject to the official reviewers interpretation of whether or not the player was effective during those 3 innings, but 90% of the time, they'll be granted a save.

I had the same problem last night. My reliever entered the game with a 7-0 lead and pitched shutout ball for the last 3 innings and was not credited with a save. So from what I can tell, this has nothing to do with being effective. The game just doesn't register a save when you're up by more than 3 runs and pitch the last 3 innings of the game. It should grant a save in that situation, but it's a bug I guess...

Re: why does every baseball game have a save glitch?

I pitched 3 innings with Mike Gonzalez in my franchise, and got a save. When he came in, I was winning by 2, ended up going up by 4 in the 8th, and he finished it out in the 9th.

The reason you got a save in this situation is that Gonzo entered the game with less than a 3 run lead and protected that lead. So you could've scored 20 runs in the last 3 innings and he still would get a save because he entered the game with less than a 3 run lead.

It's not a bug in the technical sense, it was left out if what you're saying is true. It was an omission. A bug implies that something implemented worked incorrectly.

It was an omission from this game. It isn't a bug. My statement is still correct.

Re: why does every baseball game have a save glitch?

My "save glitch" involves my reliever getting a save, but me not unlocking the achivement for that. I have heard a couple of others have this problem also.

Depends. Does it function as intended? Not sure as I haven't seen the code that is in place or even if there is any code in place for this situation. If it does not function as intended, I would classify that as a bug.

Point, it just doesn't sound like it was coded.
