Net steals makes more sense. There aren't really contextual factors that make getting caught stealing acceptable, but closers can enter a 1-run game with the bases loaded and nobody out and blow the save despite pitching excellently.

Would it be uncouth of me to just change my vote to net sb so this gets settled? I pretty much disregard steals and don't actually care.
