Players can use Major League Baseball 2K8’s “Smart Throw” technology to throw to the best base by simply flicking the Wii Remote or can manually choose which base to throw to by pressing a direction on the directional pad.

you get a save in save opportunities like less then a 3 run lead going into the ninth for example if its not a save opportunity it doesnt matter if you close the game with your closer he is not going to get a save.
