You could probably do the inverse diatribe on who gets the loss?

No doubt. It doesn’t matter who wins or loses. Both stats are corrupt.

Let’s hold off until we discuss the GWRBI, a failed pre-WAR concept.

Incidental trivia question

Who threw the last spitball in the major leagues?

I guess they could just do away with wins and loses for the pitchers and give them to the managers. The managers are the one directing the players anyway. Then the pitchers could get their recognition with ERA, K's, etc.

The illegal spit ball has essentially become a moot point in the current game, in which a new ball is introduced into the game seemingly three times during every at bat. Any ball that touches the dirt is gone.
