Sure, the save is not a great stat from a predictive standpoint, but it does help us understand the story of a given game. Twice this season the Giants have had two blown saves in a game. They lead the majors in blown saves with 25 (the next team has 21). What does that information tell us about the nature of Giants games in 2018?
In the AT&T Park era, they’ve led the league in blown saves only two other times: 2016 (30) and 2005 (28). What’s interesting about that is the Giants have only one more save than blown saves right now, and in those other seasons, they had a decent separation between save and blown save (43 saves in 2016 and 46 saves in 2005).
