2025 MLB Regular Season Thread: We Have no Food. We have no jobs. Our pitchers' ARMS are falling off

[Xno Kappa]

Being an usher for a major sports complex has to be one of the most godawful jobs on the planet. Constantly having to deal with entitled and often drunk as hell fans sounds like pure hell.

[Obsidian]

Entitled, drunk, and let's be honest, racist.

[Mertron]

the usher 100% re-escalates after the first fight stops, but i guess in for a penny at that point

Trent Grisham is my spirit animal.

Another Dodgers pitcher on the IL. This time Evan Phillips

It's what happens when a team runs a 6 man rotation with 4 starters and 2 bullpen games.

Matt Sauer also collected a 4-inning Save last night, which I don't think I've ever seen before.

Per the definition of a save.

A save is awarded to the relief pitcher who finishes a game for the winning team, under certain circumstances. A pitcher cannot receive a save and a win in the same game.

A relief pitcher recording a save must preserve his team's lead while doing one of the following:

-Enter the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitch at least one inning.
-Enter the game with the tying run in the on-deck circle, at the plate or on the bases.
-Pitch at least three innings.

Satisfied the 3rd requirement giving him the save in the blowout win.

Yeah I forgot exactly who it was and who it was against, but the Yankees did something similar last year in a blowout where the relief pitcher still recorded a save because he pitched three innings.

[archibaldcrane]

So can you have multiple saves in one game?

Edit: nvm, clearly the definition above isn't the full definition

I didn't look up the rule but I'm pretty sure it probably stipulates that a Save can only be awarded to the pitcher who records the final out of the game. Anyone else would be credited with a Hold. I dunno if Holds have the same criteria as Saves though. For instance, you can be awarded a Hold even if another reliever after you blows the game.

Marcus Stroman against Seattle recorded a save, 11-2.
Michael Tonkin then did it against the White Sox, 10-2.

Pirates have fired their manager.

Bumgardner with the five inning save in the world series as well (although not a blowout win)

Should have fired the owner. No one can win with that offense.

Jasson Dominguez might actually be pretty good at baseball.

The homer he hit was 431 feet but only a home run in 29/30 parks lol. Center Field in Chase Field may as well be on the moon.

Unless they have the roof open @ Chase and baseballs go flying like it did last night lol.

Padres undid years of abuse from Blackmon and basically went belt to asses on the Rockies. 21-0, complete game shutout.
