Not really. Matt Arnold went into the logic, which is that the game grants the victory to whoever's in the game at pitcher when the score changes. In real life, the previous guy should still get the win but in real life nobody announces a pitching change until they absolutely have to. What if that announcement causes a team to save a player as a pinch hitter instead of using them as a defensive replacement? What if the game situation changes and you don't want to use your setup guy anymore? The rules do say that once announced a pitcher has to face at least one batter.
