yes

but in the field he was horrible. Misplayed the ManRam ball, was playing too deep and had a bad throw on the first run, and way overthrew second on another play.

So was this a save situation the moment Hoffman came in

since there was a runner in scoring position?

And the scoring of those runners would bring the score to within three

Thus necessitating a save situation, correct?

by kirbir on Aug 3, 2009 11:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

No, I don't think so

It’s all on where the tying run is. If it’s on deck or closer to scoring than that, it’s a save situation. If the tying run isn’t on deck yet, it’s not a save situation.

Exception: When it’s a three-run game and the pitcher comes in at the start of the inning.

If I’m wrong, someone correct me.
