A save is a statistic credited to a relief pitcher, as set forth in this Rule 10.19.
The official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions:
(a) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team;
(b) He is not the winning pitcher;
© He is credited with at least a third of an inning pitched; and
(d) He satisfies one of the following conditions:
(1) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning;
(2) 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 batters he faces); or
(3) He pitches for at least three innings.

Didn't we benefit from
two balks in an inning once?

shouldn't we stick with one pitcher per inning when we're leading by four?
bullpen management is good in a close game. not here.

You could argue last year was a partial fluke
He wasn’t very good all through minor leagues until 2007, when he began to rake. He was very good in the majors last year, but he was due to regress.

7:00pm
Besides Ray Allen’s lucky shot and the NBA trying their hardest to not let the nba champs get knocked out in the first round, the bulls have been playing extremely well.
+1
I hope the home court calls actually go to the home team the next 2 games.
Rondo might as well have been MJ in game 2, because heavy breathing became a foul
It's really a shame
Bulls should be up 2-0. I spent the night waiting for make up calls that never came. There’s nothing worse than when officials get in the way of a good game.
P.S. Hopefully Rondo’s ankle will slow him down a bit tonight.
Actually, they should be 1-1
just in reverse. Paul Pierce should never miss that FT.
by Hardcore Legend on Apr 23, 2009 5:29 PM EDT up reply actions
oh, come on
Even if Noah did get all ball (which he didn’t), that’s an absolutely horrible time to be challenging a shot like that and the foul was deservedly called. Pierce was shooting a fade away from just inside the 3 pt arc… Noah deserved the foul
"I think he's the best hitter of all time. I think there has never been a better hitter than him. And I know I didn't see them all, but I just don't think there could be." - Adam Wainwright on The Mang
Agreed, It was a bad decision by Noah
But you didn’t watch the game if you couldn’t tell he got all ball.
The refs would have blown the whistle if pierce shot it wide open.
i did watch the game
and he didn’t get all ball. i would post a video if i could find one. i don’t even think it was that close. the refs in the NBA are fantastically atrocious, though.

If you challenge a shot
w/ 2 seconds left and fly through the guy like Noah did on the play, you’re going to get a foul called on you.. Bottom line.

Yeah I know.
I’m not trying to be a dick. I think the NBA is poorly officiated. It’s become a game of who can flop the best. By the way you can’t too well from this link, but if you look closely You can see he slap the side of the ball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlivZvlQGv8
He definitely gets a good piece of the ball
But I still think that’s a foul. And it all comes down to being a stupid play by Noah… Either way, I wish the Bulls luck tonight. I’d like to see ’em knock off the Celtics. I pretty much hate all Boston teams.

The playoffs have been fun to watch. There have been some great games and it’s only half way through round one. We’ll see how the Bulls play at home. It should be fun. I hate Boston also.

I didn’t get to watch it, but did Lohse’s injury look anywhere near as brutal as Gallardo’s? Pop doesn’t always mean torn ACL. It often does, but sometimes it’s not. I distinctly remember Peyton Manning feeling a pop in his right knee when he was in college, and it turned out to be nothing.

FYI
at the Cardinals Authentic store, they are selling VHS copies of the 80’s teams highlights for $5. I just got done watching “Heck of a Year” for the first time in probably twenty years, and my god did guys not wear shirts at Busch in the 80’s!
Also, from that store: if anyone else buys that Joe Petini jersey, I will murder you. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
