Holds

jbsnadb · 08-07-2006, 08:40 PM

Riddle me this, Batman.

Leading a game 3-2 in the 7th. Game ends with the same result.

Pitcher A throws the 7th, goes for 1 IP, 0 H, 1 BB, 16 pitches, 9 for strikes.
Pitcher B throws the 8th, goes 1 inning, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K, 16 pitches, 10 for strikes.

Pitcher A was awarded a hold. Pitcher B got nothin'.

My closer threw the ninth to collect the save.

Pitcher B has a better inning, and was surely effective. Any theories on why no hold?

Because there's a pesky bug that prevents holds from being credited in some situations.

Previous discussion here and here.

Sorry it's taken such a long time to get this thread noticed!

Patch 1.0.3 should've fixed this. Are you having any further trouble with holds, jbsnabd?

We usually close threads if they've gone without a response for seven days, as is the case with this one, as it can be assumed that the problem has been resolved.

If you'd like me to re-open the thread, feel free to PM me with a link to it. Thanks!
