****The Philladelpia Phillies have won the 2008 World Series. Congratulations!****

[areyouin729]

wow that was a horrible call, should have 2 on no outs right now

 

[rapido27]

This home umpire sucks. J Roll should have been on base for that hit. SMH. It would be first and third no outs.

[Retroballer]

how is that not a save?

 

[rapido27]

Oh well, on to game 3. The Phillies stole 1 game out of Florida. Gotta get the job done at home and we're in good shape.

 

[areyouin729]

[gregory house]

eeehh, is this world series not as exciting as the others? or is it me

 

[pusha x vinsanity]

Big Game James and Madd Nice Price...

Very well-pitched game for the Rays.

And the struggle with runners on continues for Philly.

Very glad that the Rays tied up the series before leaving town.


PS... I wanna get drunk with Gomes.

1 - we need to start hitting with risp
2 - the home plate ump needs to be beaten unconscious with an extension cord
3 - my hate for joe buck has never been higher..they talk bout baldelli like hes about to die at any moment yet hes turning double plays from the outfield...calm the +%%# down

but he pitched 2+ innings and he gave up the run bringing the trying run to the plate. i need to learn all the save rules cause he doesnt get asave but a pitcher gets a save in a 30-3 game last year

 

[philballa09]

Wow, I thought that was a mistake that Littleton got the save in that 30-3 game but I looked it up and these are the rules:

Saves:
Rule 10.20 in the Official Rule Book states:
Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions:
(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and
(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
- (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- (b) 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 batsmen he faces; or
- (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.


So Littleton got the save in that game because he "pitched effectively" for 3 innings. You're right, that seems ridiculous to me.
