Yeah, and in so many games, outcome isn't determined until the very end so it's not as if everyone's stats are meaningless.

The only thing in baseball I could get behind is changing how pitchers' wins and losses are counted. Some wins they have nothing to do with (huge run support) and some losses are not their fault. I also don't think relief pitchers should ever be credited with a win simply because they were the pitcher of record when a winning run came in. Only pitchers who have thrown at least five innings and left the game with a quality start (3 runs or less) should ever get a win. And that's even if the score is tied or their team falls behind but then comes back. They don't deserve a no-decision. If they pitched good enough to win and the team does win, they should get the win. But on the other hand, if they're given a big lead of 5 runs or more while they're on the mound, then I wouldn't give them the win, that's a team win.
