Speaking of a quality start; it is defined by MLB, at the minimum, giving up 3 earned runs after pitching 6 full innings. So if that's the definition of a 'quality start,' wouldn't it follow that a 4.50 ERA is a quality ERA?

It does follow logically, but how often does a pitcher who goes 6 innings give up exactly 3 earned runs? I’m guessing a lot of the time, said pitcher is allowing 2 or even 1. Any game where he allows 4 earned runs isn’t a quality start and so wouldn’t be included in those calculations.
I’ve referred before to a game I listened to in 1974 against the Angels. It illustrates the absurdity of the definition of a quality start. Nolan Ryan pitched 13 innings for California and allowed 3 runs. Quality start by any definition you could come up with. Luis Tiant allowed 4 runs, going the distance and pitching 14 1/3 innings. That’s not considered a quality start.
The best that can be said about a quality start is that by allowing 3 earned runs or less over 6 innings, a starter has given his team a decent chance at a win.
The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough
Btw, Vlad Jr's 471 foot homer last night wasn't the longest this season. Ohtani hit one 476 feet last Tuesday. But it was in Colorado.
So Campbell misses out on the " I got crushed" award for this year ?Originally Posted by SPLENDIDSPLINTER
Does Wong know his baby enough yet ? Couldn 't he just play the game and go back home to change the kid ?
Let's all hope he doesn't get another shot at it.
Nice play by Smith.

Devers was looking to get his own red seat in deep CF.
