I'm not sure what Jiri is talking about letting guys score. DI can only occur when a runner advances on a pitch that the catcher would normally try to throw him out on but does not due to the score.
Yup. You are correct. DI is only in reference to stolen bases, but in the games Ryan gave up runs the Jays didn't do anything to prevent them since they didn't matter which is what I was trying to explain (rather poorly I might add).
