A pitcher can go 7 shutout innings, leave with a 0-0 tie, and get a loss if the bullpen gives up a run. A pitcher can throw 5 mediocre innings, leave winning 5-2, and get a win even if his team won despite him. The win statistic describes bullpen performance and run support more than it describes pitching quality.
