If you only have a 9-run lead, and your ERA is over 16

does that count as a save situation?

ROFL

Watching the SF – DC game. They just showed a replay of Pablo Sandoval tripping over his own feet while trying to leg out a triple. And he just gets his revenge by lofting a walk-off three-run jimmy-0jack.
