Fish Tank Frenzy Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 Danny Graves sucks....yet he always gets like 7,839 saves a year. 761260[/snapback] The saves stat is an overrated stat. I shouldnt say an overrated stat, but it is a mis-leading stat. Many factors contribute to getting a save or even an oppurtunity for a save. Last year the team with the most save opp was Milwaukee. Of these saves how many were 3 run saves, 2 run saves and 1 run saves. I think that it should be on a pts system. 3 pts for a 1 run save, 2 pts for a 2 run save and 1 pts for a 3 run save.

CardsJimEdmonds15 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 My post over at CardsClubhouse.com.. Cardinals 10 - Reds 9 CINCINNATI (AP) -- Jim Edmonds hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning off closer Danny Graves, and John Mabry added a two-run shot, rallying the St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-9 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. Ken Griffey Jr.'s disputed homer -- a drive that hit the top of the wall and bounced back -- helped Cincinnati pull ahead 9-3 after eight innings. The Cardinals then sent 12 batters to the plate and scored seven runs in the ninth. David Weathers let in the first two, and Edmonds cut it to 9-8 with a two-out homer, his sixth. After first baseman Sean Casey's fielding error prolonged it, Mabry hit his first homer of the season off Graves (1-1), who blew a save for the first time in nine chances. The NL Central leaders went 14-5 against the Reds last season, and have won two of three this year. All the Reds could win on Monday was a home-run dispute. Griffey failed to hit a homer in his first 79 at-bats, the longest drought of his career to start a season. He broke it with a shot in Milwaukee on Saturday that barely cleared the wall in center. Griffey led off the sixth with a drive that landed on the yellow padding atop the wall in center and bounced back. The umpires ruled the ball was in play, with Griffey stopping at second for a double. Then, the crew huddled and decided it was a homer -- the 503rd of Griffey's career. Edmonds and manager Tony La Russa argued briefly, then returned to the dugout and watched the torment continue for starter Chris Carpenter. [More in URL] Hitting: AB R H RBI BB K LOB Season Avg D.

Too bad they shut down reading for guests. :plain 761271[/snapback] I can read it just fine. 761281[/snapback] A couple of days ago guests reading was not allowed but the last day or two they've made some changes (including a forum for their new posters only) and I guess they re-opened it to guests.
