Enter the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitch at least one inning.

Enter the game with the tying run in the on-deck circle -- or closer to scoring.

Pitch at least three innings.



which is how I always understood it, the key being final pitcher..So a reliever who comes in after a SP goes 4 innings and gives up the lead doesn't Blow a save unless he's the last pitcher. That's not what is occuring



So if I wasn't clear, I'm seeing multiple BS stats for one team in a game at times, The situation i mention and then a true blown save when the last picther fails a save oppurtunity as outlined above.


Key words: ONE of the following. Not all three.
