Currently a starter has to pitch 5 innings at the start of the game for a win, do you think this rule will change in the future ? Maybe 4 innings etc.
Is it right that a starter pitches 4 innings and all the relievers pitch 1 inning and one of them gets credit for the win ?

Quote:
What percentage of games are decided in the first 4 innings? Too many games are decided in the late innings. A lefty-righty relief specialist comes into the game to get the third out in a late inning. He succeeds in striking the batter out. His team then scores in the next inning to assume the lead. The pitcher is replaced by a closer in the next inning. Is one late inning strikeout worthy of a win? Really? With the vanishing 162 inning pitchers, look at the rosters of the playoff teams. I believe all of them have several bullpenners whose body of work is less than 50 innings and some of them probably have more wins than 5 inning starters with less than 162 innings. Perhaps the concept of winning and losing pitchers should be abandoned. Perhaps the distinction between starting pitchers and relief pitchers should be abandoned. Let’s just call them all JAPs (Just Another Pitcher) instead of SPs and RPs.

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?
