When a pinch runner takes over from the batter the run is credited to the runner, so why do runners on bases get charged to the pitcher they hit against and not the relief pitcher who let them come home to score? The pitcher being replaced mid-inning might have got themself out of the jam but a relief pitcher loses nothing by letting any runners already on bases when he takes the mound score. He really should imho. In each case it's only crossing the plate that affects the score so shouldn't both be about who gets them from third to home? #Baseball
