I would argue that when your job is to throw the best breaking pitch with the highest possible spin rate instead of getting the hitter out, you're no longer playing baseball. What was Dennis Eckersley throwing to Kirk Gibson? Nobody remembers and nobody cares. He gave up a home run. That's all that matters.
