This really sucks for pitchers with wins and losses

[wtt0315]

You go eight strong give up nothing, you bring in your closer he gives up a run to tie the game and your team scores bottom of inning and closer gets win for giving up run.

[wtt0315]

also how come a starting has to go 5 but a relief pitcher can come in for 1 out?

[HoulihansTX]

B/c many relief pitchers are below average pitchers overall.

That W/L record shit doesnmt matter in the long run, unless you are guy chasing individual stats.

Teams, managers, players, and scouts know when a SP did well enough to win.

Nobody really cares about W/L...that stat was debunked years ago.
