    Ik there is a lot of debate if the current standards of a quality start should be considered quality or not, but here is the percentage of starts that were considered quality by our starting rotation for those who have made 10 or more starts for the sox: Jon Lester: 57.1% of his starts are considered quality Jon Lackey: 70.8% of his starts Felix Doubront: 66.7% Ryan Dempster: 48% Clay Buccholz: 83% ( He really only had one as one of the starts that did not qualify to be quality was after a rain delay where he threw 5 scoreless innings). Anyways, i thought this would be interesting. Comments?

    I agree that 3 runs in 6 innings for a 4.50 era certainly does not seem very "quality" and it isn't, but if you actual look at it closely, you see that it actually is better than you think. If a starter can go 6 innings, then the bullpen only has to pitch 3 innings of relief , which ins't the greatest but certainly ain't bad. You just need your 7th inning man, set up man, and your closer to finish things off. Lastly, allowing 3 runs over six innings , more often than not, will keep your team still in legitimate contention for the win. I still think if they are going to call anything a "quality" start, it should be changed to 2 earned runs over at least six innings, but I would take a guy who let up 3 runs over 6 innings every time out there over someone like chris capuano, who pitches better than quality half his starts and shits the bed the other half. Basically, I think there is some accuracy to the quality start, but not a whole lot.

    True, true.

    Can we try a newbie game thread tommorrow?
  5. BigPapi
    Bring out quintin berry, or is he not up?
  6. BigPapi
    Very true. Know he cannot miss pitches that are thrown too him lower middle in. He has to capitalize on them.
  7. BigPapi
    Indeed he did.
  8. BigPapi
    This is just a bad stretch he has been in. Hes not even close on fastballs that arent even fast. If theyre gonna start pitching him up more, he needs to make adjustments.
  9. BigPapi
    Now hes swining on top of the ball. We had under, now over, and hopefully soon, right on it.
  10. BigPapi
    Hahahaha, thats funny cause John farrel said he didnt want him to do that. He said that was the root of his problem. But i agree with you.
  11. BigPapi
    another f***ing pop up. Damn it
  12. BigPapi
    Well, he only had something like 10 of his 28 starts at home.
  13. BigPapi
    Actually, coming into this game, he had a very good era this year at fenway. I think it was 2.97 according to don orsillo.
  14. BigPapi
    Plus, the dodgers o was starting to slump, and san fran has a god awful lineup.
  15. BigPapi
    Papi needs a hit like that...
  16. BigPapi
    Nice catch ells.
  17. BigPapi
    Under, under, under, under. He keeps swinging way too under the ball. It looks like he is trying to hit a hr everytime. He can't do that.
  18. BigPapi
    I agree with you 100 percent.
  19. BigPapi
    Do you mean no matter what he does, this season will never be better than mariano's 08 or do you mean that Koji will never be considered better than mo?
  20. BigPapi
    Well true , I'd have to say.
  21. BigPapi
    Actually, statistically, the al hr leaders numbers were down that year, as well as ops's. But we certaintly have to wait till its over.
  22. BigPapi
    Thats debatable. We'll see how koji ends his season though. Thus far, koji tops all those and has a better k/9).
  23. BigPapi
    I can tell you if he does eclipse over 70 innings, you can make a case that he was more dominant this season than mo ever was in any of his seasons. Although, mo did play and pitched well during a time when there was more power in the mlb.
  24. BigPapi
    29 hits in 59 innings for koji and only nine walks. Just crazy.
  25. BigPapi
    Its crazy. You think that a 1.22 era wouldn't be sustainable, but then you see that .64 whip and you see what pure dominance he has shown this season.
