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? Edited June 25, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

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.

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 ?

[vegasbob]

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.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Smith.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS! 467 feet.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great hustle by O'Neill.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Masa starting to get his groove back.

[vegasbob]

Could Yoshida's line drive bat be coming back. certainly hope so

[vegasbob]

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

O'Neill awarded a triple. Xmas comes early for Tyler. Edited June 25, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Toronto may be starting to fade in the face of Red June

[vegasbob]

McGuire may get a pass at the deadline this year, but I bet he doesn't get through the winter or ST with the Sox. Leaving Yoshi at 3rd 1 out, can't catch up to the FB, not brilliant defensively. Just thinking, he is a potential move , as was Vasquez.

[d-money]

Come on Bello. Don’t give this back.

[vegasbob]

Bello again with an early lead, now needs about 4 more innings of tight pitching . A shutout wouldn't hurt.

 

But he has put a man on base in each inning so far. He could be an arsonist. Now is in trouble with no outs

Can’t stand the guy. Too inconsistent.

Boston's not high enough above sea level. Imagine if both Vlad's anf Raff's HR's had been hit in Denver.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This inning smells of sloppy.

[d-money]

Just pathetic after getting two runs.

[d-money]

What a f***ing disaster of an inning.

[bmattioli]

Terrible D

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unless he's injured, I have no idea why Hamilton isn't playing 2nd.

[d-money]

Not even an out record yet.

[vegasbob]

Valdez and Abreu blow up the inning and the lead. Keep in mind, we are still starting a fair number of AAAA'ers with weak skills or brains in the field

[Tedballgame]

Keystone Cops are going to cost Bello tonight.

[d-money]

I can’t stand Bello. Throw a f***in strike dude.

[d-money]

Keystone Cops are going to cost Bello tonight.

 

He hasn’t been good though despite the errors in this inning. Walk and 3 hits.
