I'm not saying a pitcher can't come in and get the save.

I'm saying an awful lot of attention is put on the number of saves a closer gets, not his era strikeout/walk ratio, hits/innings etc.

And yes a win CAN happen that way, but generally it doesn't come down to a pitcher throwing to one guy only and getting it.
