I have two scenarios here, one where the “Loss” is obvious, one where I have no idea who would be credited with the loss…
Scenario 1
- Bottom of the 9th, tie game.
- Pitcher A enters the game fresh and issues a walk to Batter A. Pitcher A sprains his arm (or whatever) and is replaced by Pitch B (runner 1st)
- Pitcher B enters the game fresh and issues a walk to Batter B. Pitcher B sprains his arm (or whatever) and is replaced by Pitch C (runners on 1st and 2nd)
- Pitcher C enters the game fresh and issues a walk to Batter C. Pitcher C sprains his arm (or whatever) and is replaced by Pitch D (bases loaded)
- Pitcher D enters the game fresh and issues a walk to Batter D. Batter A scores. Game over.
- Pitcher A takes the loss.
Scenario 2
- Bottom of the 10th, tie game. Runner X on 2nd
- Pitcher A enters the game fresh and issues a walk to Batter A. Pitcher A sprains his arm (or whatever) and is replaced by Pitch B (runners on 1st and 2nd)
- Pitcher B enters the game fresh and issues a walk to Batter B. Pitcher B sprains his arm (or whatever) and is replaced by Pitch C (bases loaded)
- Pitcher C enters the game fresh and issues a walk to Batter C. Runner X scores. Game over.
- Runner X did not “belong” to any of the pitchers, and each pitcher equally contributed to the loss. By existing rules, no pitcher actually qualifies for the loss.
