Why do you need 5 innings for a "Win"?

i'm not trying to defend that you have to pitch five.

i would suggest that situations like that should be placed under review or something for the win, but how often does that happen? where a pitcher is on a roll & comes out before the 5th?

I dunno, the guy pulled his groin and they had to take him out.  Just a possible scenario of how absurd the rule is. 
You see closers sometimes come in and blow the save in the top of the 9th, the team comes back in the bottom.  He gets the BS and a "W".

yeah, that's a silly rule.

but i guess it's why stats shouldn't matter; just all depends if your team wins or loses.

YEAH LINCY WAS A BAD EXAMPLE, HES THE EXCEPTION TO EVERY RULE
