come in to a tie game, give up 4 runs, have your team score 5 in the bottom of the inning and you're in line for the win.

pitch 9 innings, give up 1 unearned, your team scores 0, you get the loss. the one guy who did his job gets the loss.

teams win, not pitchers, lets fix that MLB.

Hanson gives up a run in the first last Sunday and loses 1-0 in a 5 inning rain shortened game

i like looking at WHIP,ERA and Ks

ERA is a decent stat.
WHIP a bit better.
K:BB ratio is a good one.

Did the O's pitcher leave the game losing 4-1 and get the win?

I agree mo, this is ridiculous.

Javy Vazquez should have gotten the 'loss' today, but got off on a technicality.

Another perfect example of this today as KC loses 1-0:
