    Very good.

    Sorry Max, your position has been litigated and lost and your complaints are a bit pointless now.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Wow, short thread. Good solid pitching today. Let's get over .500 tomorrow.
  4. Bellhorn04
    In incremental terms, all they offered was 1 year @ $30 mill.

    I also agree with Kimmi's point that if Quality Start doesn't work for you, just go with Game Score. It's much less arbitrary.

    JBJ has a 1.375 OPS in his last 2 games!

    5GG likes his wordplay.

    Personally I have no problem with 6 and 3 being a Quality Start. It's the 6 innings part that matters most. I get the 4.50 ERA argument. You're going to have to establish an arbitrary baseline somewhere. When you give 6 and 3 you're presumably turning the game over to your best relievers, who should arguably only give up 1 run in 3 innings. And then there's the High Quality Start, which I believe is 7 and 2.
  9. Bellhorn04
    But Game Score rewards volume of innings, correct?
  10. Bellhorn04
    David Price looked like pure quality when we signed him too. He helped win a title but has mostly been in the baggage department. And Sale is a great pitcher who they obviously thought would not be spending so little time on the field. We (the royal we) can find examples to support any position.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I guarantee that was supposed to be 5 and 2.
  12. Bellhorn04
    But a big part of the idea of the Quality Start was giving some length, not overly taxing the pen, and not giving the other team a shot at your middle relievers, which at one time was the 'dregs' of the bullpen. 3 & 0 obviously doesn't fit that bill. However, as the game changes to a total staff game, 3 & 0 does become more valuable.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Pivetta is without quality today.
  14. Bellhorn04
    You have to draw the line somewhere. Or, we can just have "Quality Outing" that applies to all pitchers, but that might be overkill.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Too radical.
  16. Bellhorn04
    There have been some players who do like staying put. Wakefield and Ortiz come to mind. They kept taking short deals and not testing free agency.
  17. Bellhorn04
    5 and 2 is clearly the new QS.
  18. Bellhorn04
    SPLINTER is usually very reliable. But the clock is indeed ticking.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Also to be noted is that Xander has a swing made for Fenway. Career: Home .870 Road .754
  20. Bellhorn04
    I'd offer Eovaldi 3 @ $20, but he would laugh at it. Gausman got 5 @ $22.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Also a good chance that if he gets 8 @ $30, the second half is an albatross.
  22. Bellhorn04
    There's been talk, but it's nothing promising. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/04/eovaldi-wont-discuss-extension-during-season.html
  23. Bellhorn04
    That's how it's presently defined. They may have to revise it to 5 innings and 2 runs.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Sure, but the thing is, he got 7 years compared to Story's 6, and Story is 2 years younger.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The deals those guys got make Story's deal look pretty darn good. It's almost like Bloom is being smart or something.
