    Rockets blowout and now a 2 run late inning lead. Feels good man.

    Good grief. Cole throws a quality start with 12 k’s and Harris gets one out but is in line to get the win.

    It's a shame they couldn't come up with some sort of other algorithm to reward the win to the pitcher that truly deserved it. But that would lend itself to a whole host of other problems I'm sure

    How about just letting the official scorer decide it.

    It's one of many reasons why the win loss is so damn stupid

    How could you deserve the "win" if your team is not winning when all of your batters are accounted for?

    Joe Smith needs to mysteriously end up on the DL or in Fresno

    I'm hoping there's something minor wrong with this arm. 'Cause if this is him, healthy....

    Because your pitching clearly contributed more to the victory than anybody else.

    Then the official scorer would be having to make a decision every single game as to who should get the win.

    I'm OK with that, most of the time they would use standard rules. Frankly I don't care which reliever gets wins and losses.

    They already use the standard rules.

    Good series win, I'm hoping and expecting Lose-now to pick up an elite bullpen arm at some point. That's the only thing missing besides Ted's inevitable arrival.

    I understand if the fan reaches into the field of play it's FI but if the fielder reaches into the stands it's FI too? That's a ridiculous rule.
