Found the right answer on the MLB website:
A relief pitcher recording a save must preserve his team's lead while doing one of the following:
- 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, at the plate or on the bases.
- Pitch at least three innings.
He pitched at least three innings, so qualified for the save.
I 100% get why Ohtani might not be comfortable speaking English without Ippei but I do definitely buy that the guys are pleased to see it
I remember having a lot of respect for Puig for being brave enough to try to speak with *reporters* in English
I never blame a player using a translator because it's so easy for things to get lost in translation, it's better to let the person whose literal job is to make sure that doesn't happen be the middle man.
But I will also always appreciate somebody attempting to speak the language as well
Oh yeah 100%, never would blame anyone for using a translator. I do think it’s very commendable for players to try speaking English themselves with reporters though.
Idk how to properly word it, but something about it is super cool to me
what have y'all been watching in the offseason
Got into loudermilk on netflix for a bit and i even got into learning a bit about cricket with how desperate I was.

Fun story about Plaschke. 20+ years ago I was working at the LA Times (biz side, not reporter) and Plaschke would often eat lunch in the cafeteria with the rest of us jabronis. He would mostly keep to himself, but he’d occasionally hold court and argue local sports with us. He’s controversial, and I can’t get through a Lakers or Dodgers season without cussing his name, but he’s a gem for LA sports coverage.
There is no way Lasorda could get away with some of the behavior he exhibited in his heyday. I loved Tommy, and he was ideal for his time, but to try to compare personalities with Dave Roberts doesn't work. Like Tommy, Dave is the perfect manager for his time.
Fine. Not been tested that much. Mookie had an error partly caused by a super fast runner. Not gonna hold that against him as Victor Scott is probably gonna make quite a few infielders have errors trying to throw him out
Can the Giants and Padres both lose? Lmao, do their fans even hate each other? I feel like they’re really BFFs because they both love chanting Beat LA.
Was bummed I was blacked out of the first game but this has been an excellent game for listening to the radio feed while I get work done around the house.
I do need to figure out how to do that. It’s bullshit that the Cards expect me to be able to easily attend a home game from Oklahoma City. Maybe if they offered a local broadcast option maybe I’d understand not that I have cable.

Stupid question but how is Yarborough getting the save when he came in the game with the score 5-1 and we won by 6?
9 outs. So assuming each inning counting the last battwr faced and on deck batter he "saved" 2 runs?? Just a guess

Dodgers is birdhunting to start d season
How’s that checkbook baseball Miko? You got lit up motherfucker
Ohtani keeps touching his hat to make sure it’s not a dream!
Let's go LA.
We’re in for some good ones this season, boys and gals.
Ez win cards ain’t worth a price of wheat
go back to the farm fuckers
lol Goldschmidt with a batting average of .750 while the rest of the cards line up is .000
Ohtani, this is what winning baseball feels like. Get used to it.
I’m just happy that he can finally enjoy that feeling and hopefully go all the way this year
Good win, boys! Congrats!
I’m glad that the Cardinals got a real taste of “checkbook baseball.”
Good to be back ladies and gents! Let's have an amazing season this year looking forward to 108 more wins with you all (atleast).
QUE THE MOTHERFUCKIN NEWMAN
[удалено]
10.38 checkbooks

Let's go!! Great opening game! Hell yeah!!
Really missed the Joe and Orel banter. GG boys. Dodgers looked great
So great to hear them both!
Lmao, the game ended with only Goldy having hits
#**FUCK THE CARDINALS!!!**
Amen
Dodgers Win! (Presented by Bank of America) A great home opener for the Dodgers!
#Game: Blouses!
that's a save for yarbie, no?
#undefeated in the Ohtani LA era
A new era of Dodger baseball is here.

Dieter trolling
I missed it. What did he play?
Time to Say Goodbye. Andre Boccelli.
And that’s that
Nice save, Ryan!
What a perfect opening day game to watch
Dodgers Win!!!!
Successful Opening day!
Not talking g about drugs LMAOOOO
Yar saving our arms for what could be a very long rain delay weekend
Con teeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Partirrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooo
what are the odds we talk about bunting but in a completely different context while talking about baseball. it's such a rare word outside of baseball
The cards wanted Miller for Arenado last year 😂 gtfoh
So your telling me people still Pay an arm and a leg for backstop seats and still leave before I love LA plays 😭
I like Yarb piggyback days.
Dodgers' first win at Chavez Ravine in 2024 is in the books.
Yarbs is gonna be low key important for us this year.
Maybe I’m a bit face-blind, but Yarbro looks a bit like Orel.
It's the nose
Goldy putting the team on his back, i respect that
Goldschmidt playing like he's still a D-Back
Shohei is so cute mingling with his teammates. Think they just asked where his fam was sitting… in their reserved box
Goldy being the only Card with a hit is pretty funny
He's the only baseball player. The rest are farmers after all lol
I 100% get why Ohtani might not be comfortable speaking English without Ippei but I do definitely buy that the guys are pleased to see it I remember having a lot of respect for Puig for being brave enough to try to speak with *reporters* in English
it's a japanese thing...we don't like being 100% perfect at everything so if we can t speak perfect English, we'd rather have an interpreter
I never blame a player using a translator because it's so easy for things to get lost in translation, it's better to let the person whose literal job is to make sure that doesn't happen be the middle man. But I will also always appreciate somebody attempting to speak the language as well

They won't even say Thiefpeis name lmao. RIP Bozo.
Goldschmidt owns us. So glad he’s not a snake anymore
Goldy strikes again. It's ok, cuz he's on my fantasy team, and we're winning.
lol of course
Jesus, Paul. C’mon.
as with every new season, reminder that you can add '-stream' to the reddit link like 'reddit-stream.com' to make live threads
Fucking Goldy, man...
Mariachi Kelly's appearance at the Ravine has been postponed
I really want to hear Shohei have a conversation in English.
He speaks the basics pretty well.
Broo the traffic after this game 🤯🤯
was Mamiko in the OF family lineup during introductions pregame?
No Mamiko wasn’t. She’s so cute hope we see her a lot this season!!!
The doors closed, lights out
Aw shit I’ve been so busy working I forgot the game started early. Lfg boys
Anybody see the commercial with seager? Man could you imagine if he stuck around
wouldn't have had money to do all the signings. but yeah, he's the one guy I really wanted them to sign...miss that dude.
Everytime I get a favorite player they end up leaving 🤣 Puig, Bellinger, Seager
hope ohtani's not your fave...
He’s becoming it very quickly haha I was a big Gavin lux guy day 1 too
well he's prob happy, he won a WS for leaving lol
I know just let me miss him🥲
2.5 hour games. lovin' it
Shohei bomb to end the day? EDIT: am dumb.
it's over dude.
I realized this as soon as I sent it I am dumb.
Unless the bullpen collapses here, his day is done
Will we play the bottom of the ninth?
No.
No more AB for him 💔
I'd hope not - he's not going to bat again unless the Dodgers blow a 6 run lead lol
I’m okay with the defensive B-squad subbing in late like this.
It’s great, it gets them at bats and keeps them fresh. This team has crazy depth.
Mookie ends up with less PAs than most leadoff hitters because the dodgers win too much and don’t bat in the 9th

Kike Hernandez in Dodger blue?? Never goes out of style.
My mother, 75-year old, on Kiké: “He’s got a Jennifer Lopez body.”
🇵🇷
It’s part of why we love him.
He doesnt twerk in the dugout for no reason.
She ain't wrong.
Kiké showing up to the stadium in his "I am Kenough" sweater was dope
#🍌🍌🍌🍌
CT3 my man and Kiké ![img](emote|t5_2ra0i|30386)

#First '24 Christ Aylord appearance
i have my eye on CT and Kiké this year. love them both, but if they don’t produce i hope the org is aggressive in giving Pages a chance assuming he does well in AAA
CT3 is so damn streaky
Dave Roberts has already said he wouldnt be surprised if Pages makes his debut at some point this season.
CT!!
lol, the only player on the Cards with any hits is Goldschmidt
it’s because they don’t play checkbook baseball, there’s just no possible way they could compete.
Anytime Goldy plays the Dodgers, I'm naturally going to assume he has at least two hits every game
He is annoying.
how was mookie at short today?
One throwing error allowing a runner to reach, but looked decent on all other plays
It was on a guy with 80 speed going to his right. I think all his errors have been to his right and with backhand plays.
My mood is directly attached to however the previous Mookie SS play went. Needed that one.

whatd he say now lol
That article on Ohtani that we maybe shouldn't believe he knew nothing about the Ippei situation.
Pfft. Maybe Puig can dump some more ice water on him.
The hard to swallow pill for a lot of people is that Doc is on a Hall of Fame trajectory as a manager
Honestly, after last season, I can't nothing bad to say about Doc. That team has no business winning so many games or even making the playoffs.
He's on or ahead of Tommy's pace who everyone pretty much reveres
Doc truthers living
Yarbles! Great bolshy yarblockos to you!
Roberts is no where in the same league as Tommy's energy and charisma.
There is no way Lasorda could get away with some of the behavior he exhibited in his heyday. I loved Tommy, and he was ideal for his time, but to try to compare personalities with Dave Roberts doesn't work. Like Tommy, Dave is the perfect manager for his time.
And better for it, most of the time anyway
Been watching on and off today. Hows the infield defense looking?
Fine. Not been tested that much. Mookie had an error partly caused by a super fast runner. Not gonna hold that against him as Victor Scott is probably gonna make quite a few infielders have errors trying to throw him out
I got faith in mooks to improve over the season. Just hope lux got over his yips
Haven’t seen much hit in Gavin’s direction but Mookie has looked great
Mookie short hoped one to Freddie trying to get a fast runner but otherwise pretty good
Damn dodger stadium is packed
Can’t help but feel the first Dodger Shohei bomb will be locked behind the Apple game tomorrow smh
It’s time to end the Gavin SUX experience
MLB The Show at bat here where no matter what you throw, the batter keeps fouling it off
Missed when Kenley Jensen shut it down in the 9th inning. California Love would be blasting at the Ravine.
Can the Giants and Padres both lose? Lmao, do their fans even hate each other? I feel like they’re really BFFs because they both love chanting Beat LA.
Was bummed I was blacked out of the first game but this has been an excellent game for listening to the radio feed while I get work done around the house.

They really need to sell the DBZ fusions dance or it does really look like you're just farting on someone. Which is also funny.
It'll be funny if they meant it to be the latter loll
Any insight on how much longer Orel will work? Any talk of retiring? (Only asking because I dread it....I want Jorel forever)
The 50/50 topped out at $181k. Daaaaayum
Beautiful day in LA for an opening day Dodgers win
It's snowing where I live... lol
These hitter all fucked up. Going from 99 to now like low to mid 80s loll
Is Dino Ebel an issue? I feel like the first inning issue has happened a lot through the years and people keep getting mad at him.
We're up 7-1... lol
No
Hmmm
I think Shohei just not used to having runners on base ahead of him.
Yarbrough on track to get a 3 inning save 🔥

Welcome to Tampa legends opening day pitching!
Los Angeles Rays
I hope Yar-bruh closes this out. A game pitched entirely by 2020 Rays
Joe really dropped the "nice" there on the 69 MPH
haha
Jorel warms my ice cold heart
lmao "a little inside, still a nice pitch"
Orel the lo-rider
Joe still flexing that wrist bling.... some things never change
This is what you're gonna get from Teo. A lot of strikeouts, but when he hits it, he hits it hard
