I don't think it's a save situation if a pitcher comes in with runners on...

But even if it is, then it is indeed a blown save. He gave up the run even if it is unearned. He was expected to close the game out / earn a save and he blew it.

Yes he is. His ERA wouldn't be affected, but if he gives up the tying run under any circumstances, he is charged with a blown save.

How do you calculate WHIP in baseball and what does it indicate about a pitcher's performance?

WHIP in baseball is calculated by adding a pitcher's walks and hits allowed, then dividing that total by the number of innings pitched. It stands for "Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched." A lower WHIP indicates that a pitcher is more effective at preventing baserunners, as it measures how many runners a pitcher allows on base per inning pitched.

How is the DNA from animal organelle inherited?

DNA from animal organelles, specifically mitochondria, is inherited maternally. This means that offspring receive their mitochondrial DNA exclusively from their mother, as the mitochondria in the sperm are typically destroyed after fertilization. This maternal inheritance pattern allows researchers to trace lineage and evolutionary relationships through mitochondrial DNA. In contrast, nuclear DNA is inherited from both parents.

What is the least number of pitches a pitcher can throw and still be declared the winner of record in a major league ballgame?

He can throw any amount of pitches. This can range from 1-1000 (obviously wont happen). However, as long as he finishes 5 innings with the lead, and no following pitcher allows the other team to tie or score more than this amount of runs, he will receive the win. Keep in mind, he can be winning 20-0 and leave after the sixth inning. If his bullpen were to blow the lead, even a tie, he would not get the win, regardless of whether or not they won. If he leaves in the middle of an inning, with runners on base, those runs are charged to him. So even if he leaves with the lead, if the runners he left on tie or score more runs than his team, they are charged to him and he could be charged with the loss.' Hope this helped! -Dan

Why do runners have more mitochondria than non runners?

Runners have more mitochondria because consistent aerobic exercise, like running, signals the body to produce more mitochondria to meet the increased energy demands. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell as they are responsible for generating energy, and having more mitochondria allows runners to produce energy more efficiently during their runs.


What does 'working out of the stretch' for a pitcher mean?

When there are no runners on base, pitchers take a "full windup", which usually entails a lot of motion with the legs and arms; it takes a relatively long time for this windup to take place and the ball to be released. When there are runners on base, they are allowed to steal the next base and could easily do so if the pitcher takes his full windup. So to counter-act that, pitchers "work out of the stretch," which means they stand with their back foot parallel and adjacent to the pitching rubber. After getting their signal from the catcher you will see them bring the ball to their glove and come to a stop before pitching. From this position they can quickly throw to the base where the runner is to make sure they aren't getting too big of a leadoff. And when they do pitch the ball they just take a fairly quick step forward and fire the pitch. This step is much faster than the rocking motion they use when in the "windup" and therefore there gives much less time for the runner to steal a base. Many relief pitchers will always "work from the stretch" even without runners on base. Since they come into the game with runners on base often, trying to keep consistent with two different pitching deliveries isn't worth it.
