re: Pirates up 5-0 vs Dodgers....Skenes went 6 with 2 hits and 8 Ks

If you pitch six innings, and give up three runs, that's a 4.50 ERA.
Not good.

Agreed on the takes but 1988s posts tend to read like they were written by a menstruating female.

Sure. And I don’t care who they come from. I think that a big physical deep threat is an added tool that would be very handy, though. I remember against Bama and Clemson, when that game was dicey in the beginning, we turned to Chase and just threw it up and let him manhandle the corner. That was so sweet.

This is the first year peralta has had any depth into games and it’s not that great. He is pitching over his head but his slider is decent giving him one good glove side pitch to go with his four seamer
Vegas is right. He’s the underdog here

Quality Start (QS)
Definition
A starting pitcher records a quality start when he pitches at least six innings and allows three earned runs or fewer. A starting pitcher has two jobs: to prevent runs and get outs. The quality start statistic helps to quantify which pitchers did a "quality" job in those two departments.

Origin:
John Lowe, then a sportswriter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, coined the term in 1985 as a means to gauge whether a pitcher did his job. Lowe also created another wrinkle to go along with the stat. He called quality starts in which a pitcher got the loss "tough losses." And he called non-quality starts in which a pitcher earned the win "cheap wins."

In A Call
"quality outing," "quality performance," "he was quality"

It's a term that doesn't mean anything. It's mediocrity, not quality.
