So I looked over a few of my past games and found some save situations I would classify as weird. Game 1:http://brokenbat.org/game/1910385 Would make sense if the bases were loaded at some pint in the game, but this isn't the case. Game 2:http://brokenbat.org/game/1910349 Okay, now this is getting to be a stretch Game 3:http://brokenbat.org/game/1910325 Are you kidding me? Updated Saturday, December 12 2015 @ 2:02:48 pm PST

Second and third game he pitched for 3 innings and was not the winning pitcher. Both of those are save situations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_(baseball) Updated Saturday, December 12 2015 @ 2:24:23 pm PST

The score makes no difference in that case. Updated Saturday, December 12 2015 @ 10:11:25 pm PST
