If a closer enters the 9th with a 4 run lead and gives up 1 run before he wins is it ruled a save?
Question:I understand that it only constitute a save if the team is within three runs. but what happens if the team has more than a three run lead but the said pitcher gives up the lead down to fewer than three than continues on to finish the game?
Answers:
Yes. If he comes in with a lead, and his team sustains the lead and wins then it is a save.

Saves situations can get complicated but in this instance no, its not a save because the pitcher came into the game in a non-save situation. If a new pitcher came in, then it would be a save situation for him. But not for the guy who started with the 4 run lead.This depends, if he closer come in with a four run and with atleast two runners on he can still get the save if he records the final three outs. Another way a picther could get a save is that come in with lead and picthes three effective inning to preserve the lead.

No as you pointed out a save situation is 3 runs or less, if they were allowed to enter with more and give up a run or two to create the save situation they'd all do it.What are those nets called that you can pitch and hit into and where can I buy one in Canada?

Depending on the situation, if the bases were loaded then yes. If 2 men were on base then again yes. The offical rule isSave Opportunity
A Save Opportunity is when a pitcher enters the game with his team ahead and the tying run in the on deck circle, at the plate, or on base.
So you could get a save up by 4 runs as long as the tying run was at least in the on deck circle

No. Save opportunities are determined by the score/situation when the relief pitcher enters the game, not what it is when the game ends. The full rule on saves is:"The official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions:
(a) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team;
(b) He is not the winning pitcher;
(c) He is credited with at least a third of an inning pitched; and
(d) He satisfies one of the following conditions:
(1) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning;
(2) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batters he faces); or
(3) He pitches for at least three innings."

A pitcher cannot pitch himself into a save situation. You come in as a save situation or not.Should any team pick up John Mabry?
A save is not awarded. A save is awarded only to a relief pitcher who enters the game with a lead of 1-3 runs and finishes the game without ever losing the lead. I think they only award saves to pitchers who enter during the 7th inning or later (though it is rare when a save is awarded for more than an inning; many saves are for 1 out).If a pitcher enters the game in the 9th with a 4 run lead, gives up 1-3 runs and gets pulled for another pitcher, the new reliever is eligible to get a save if he holds onto the lead.
Yes
