Full Version: Scoring Question

I have Jose Arredondo on my team and in looking at the box score from last night I see he pitched two thirds of an innings and struck out one batter. He is not showing anything else (hits, walks, runs, etc). However, he is being credited with a B (which I am guessing means blown save or lead).

I am not totally clear on how they do holds but I would think to blown a lead you would need to put someone one base which it does not appear to be the case here. Can someone explain how this works?

Here is a link to the box score: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=280813103

I have no clue.

ETA: OK, I guess it is a blown save. He allowed an inherited runner to score on a fielder's choice.

Thanks I did not see that about the inherited runner scoring.

It's when Todd Jones sneaks a hooker into the bullpen.

In the case of RB, you're confusing "blown save" with "bringing the gas can" HTH. wink1.gif
