Reply to "Who gets the loss?"

Yeah, it is weird. I've heard that in the past. If a pitcher comes out with, say 2 runners on, he's responsible for 2 runners even if the runners aren't the same players. Same with assigning runs/ERA. 

My son came out of a game once with a runner on 1st, 1 out. 1st batter for the new pitcher was a FC for an out at 2nd, but that new runner on 1st was still his. He eventually scored and was charged to my son's line. Fortunately for him, there was an error and it was unearned. But, the run was charged to him.
