You are clueless even with several people trying to explain it to you.

Sorry, @Doyce7 I don’t normally take time to read a 156 word post, tho I have been know for high volume at times. My limit is around 15- 30 words.
I get this.
TEAM blown saves IS useless and perhaps the “Blown saves” stat is an overstatement. And “Blown leads” may be more apt, since a “save” is only possible with the last out.
(More to follow, for a shorter post.)
If you aren’t going to read somebody’s full post, then don’t fucking respond to it.

Individual blown leads and deficits held may be more useful, particularly for pitchers in non-save situations - close to last out.
For example:
Joe Kelly is 6 for 7 with blown leads, while Devenski is 5 for 5 and Montero is 5 for 6.
Now THAT s/b a measure for a reliever, a warning to a manager.
In last night’s game Stanek and Montero had “deficits held”, my new stat for “keeping the opponent from increasing their lead”. 
Didn’t say I didn’t read your 156-word post, just didn’t paste all of it after reading it.
I pasted the part that answered my question.
TY, by the way.
If only we had a stat that incorporated leads held and deficits held, you could even include keeping a game tied. We could call it runs allowed, I know it sounds crazy but go with me here. Runs allowed may not be good enough because guys pitch different amount of innings, so we need a constant. Lets just use 9 innings, so we can see how many runs a guy gives up per 9 innings pitched. I think I’ll call it ERA.

You might have to click through 4 or 5 pages, but I’m pretty sure FanGraphs has that.
