Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 5059655, member: 289"] We started scoring runs again. This team has a lot of productive 'glue guys' like Harrison Bader and Tyrod..errr... Tyrone Taylor. Tough thing for Mannea to pitch 4 2/3, leave with a 6-0 lead and see a reliever get the third out on one pitch. It seems absurd that a starter had to pitch 5 innings to get a decide on but a reliever can get the win with one pitch sometimes if he's the pitcher of record when the go-ahead run scores. I maintain that they should just give the starter the decision in every game because the purpose of the stat is to see what your chances of winning with each starter. Nobody evaluates relievers based on their won-lost record. [/QUOTE]
