I couldn't agree more, and this has nothing to do with knowing how
the game gets scored.
Just as sabermetrics have revolutionized stats, there should be a weighted statistical opportunity availability to gain the W as a pitcher - as in Cobb's case - , so that he gets credit for it. If there's going to be a WAR stat that propels players to MVP awards, there should be a Win Above Reliever for this situation. The reliever Colome should have gotten a blown save.
