At the rate things are going the whole idea of a winning pitcher should become obsolete. Instead, take the winning team, identify all pitchers who pitched well enough (for however long) to have "contributed" to the win (standards can be worked out), and award them "Cs" or whatever.

Indeed, In bullpen games a reliever can be awarded the W and only throw 8 pitches or less. The winner may not even need to take a shower after the game.

1/27th of a win for each out they recorded?

That's already been done in some jurisdictions because of the recent "discovery" that math is racist.

Which jurisdictions did this? Sorry you’re so sad. Whose discovery was it?

LOL, I was trying to hold my tongue on this one, but..... no jurisdictions.

Some people just can't help themselves.

Math has not been eliminated from school curriculums for being racist. I assume the reference is to things like California’s state board of education setting policies to include social justice left-wing narratives into math instruction, but no district has banned math lol. That’s ridiculous

There are still some old school, bad ass starters out there. I hate the f**king Yankees, but I love Gerritt Cole. That guy is a he/him.

I think Ohtani is the same type of competitor on the mound. He's like, F**k you. I'm coming. I don't care if it is the top of the 8th.

I maintain that if the Yankees didn't bitch out and pull Cole in Game 1, the Yankees would have won the World Series.
