A save in a 20-1 game? You bet!!!

I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing! I personally feel like a save should only occur in a 1 run game or 2 runs if there is a runner on base... Winning by 3 to start the 9th doesn't seem too too hard (for pro's, probably tough for an amateur like me!). I'm curious to see how many blown saves there have been with a 3 run lead (% wise)

The "Save" should factor the following:

• Inning entered into the game (to qualify for a save vs win)
• Runs ahead at the time
• Innings pitched during appearance
• Average runs scored per games across the league
• Situational Run Opportunity (which factors in # of outs and runners on (specific) base(s) when entering the game)

The actual formula is left to the student.
