"No, Alex, I hate this game, but everybody keeps telling me I'm good at it and they give me millions of dollars to run around on a field, so I guess I feel good about that home run."

This is ridiculous how bad our pitching is ugh. Come on angels geezes

In the box score it's showing Salas with a blown save. How is that possible? He gave up the tying run in the 8th.

[Stradling]

I'm pretty sure you can get a blown save in the 7th inning.  

[Jay]

You are correct, I didn't know that:

In baseball statistics, the term save is used to indicate the successful maintenance of a lead by a relief pitcher, usually the closer, until the end of the game. A save is a statistic credited to a relief pitcher, as set forth in Rule 10.19 of the Official Rules of Major League Baseball. That rule states the official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions:^[9]

1. He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team;
2. He is not the winning pitcher;
3. He is credited with at least ⅓ of an inning pitched; and
4. He satisfies one of the following conditions:
   1. He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning
   2. He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck
   3. He pitches for at least three innings.

And then:

A blown save (abbreviated BSV, BS or B) is charged to a pitcher who enters a game in a situation which permits him to earn a save (a save situation or save opportunity), but who instead allows the tying run to score.

Outside of Street, do we even have a bullpen?

Is this all from overwork?    Or just not very good?    Or both?

I hate relievers in general. I understand they're necessary but you really never know who will be good or bad year to year or even outing to outing. They're so damn inconsistent.

The secret to Scot Shields success was his La Flama Blanca diet of cigarettes and beer. We need to adjust the clubhouse buffet accordingly to nurture our relievers.
