I didn't see the game but I think it's because when he came in it wasn't a save situation( he had a 4 run lead) therefor it didn't cout as a save.

Guest is correct.

You can't put yourself in a save situation, although you can put yourself in the sitaution to get a win if you give up the lead, which I think is really bizarre. I was thinking of setting up my point system to get minus points for every save oppertunity, which is counteracted by the points for a save. But, if the closer blows the save and then gets the win, he would still get minus points. I couldn't figure out how to do it with yahoo though, so I'll have to deal with it as is

hmmm... you can definitely subtract points for blown saves...
