    my pitching has been pretty good this week!

    and my offense has been decent?

    I am having a pretty great offensive week (except in OBP) but a lousy pitching week. Shit happens.

    Oh and a rain delay fucked me out of a win.

    When do we get to replace win as a stat?

    As soon as you propose a replacement stat and we vote on it next year.

    I was all for QS, but that got pooped on rather quickly, if I remember correctly.

    I'm fine with keeping wins though, it's historically been a fantasy stat and there's nothing that's all that much better anyway.

  • JasconiusJasconius sword criminal mad onlineRegistered User regular
    i like QS too personally and think it would be way better than W

    I don't remember what I said in the past but I'd be ok with QS now. A pitcher could still earn a point for a fantastic performance if a relief pitcher blows it for them.

    Makes more sense than wins.

    I'm all for QS but if your pitcher pitches 4 innings and then there's a delay, tough shit.

    I lost out on a start because of rain too. You don't hear me bellyaching.

    Quality start is an even dumber stat than wins, though.

    Its like grading a home run based on how far it was hit.

    That...doesn't make sense.

    Exactly.

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    No, comparing quality starts to home run distance doesn't make sense.

  • Zen VulgarityZen Vulgarity What a lovely day for tea Secret British ThreadRegistered User regular
    Quality starts just doesn't punish your pitcher for being on a team with a shitty bullpen and focuses mainly on independent stats

    I think QS would be a good stat for fantasy, superior to wins - though it pretty much kills wins from RP.

    Wins from RP are pretty cheap and impossible to predict anyway

  • PizzleStixxPizzleStixx Parp? Burnett? Really? UghRegistered User regular
    And we are really pumping up RPs anyway with net saves and holds (which don't mistake, I'm a fan of).

    If your reliever is getting a win it's most likely because he's blown a hold/save.

    Yeah so it's almost like rewarding failure.

    I was wondering why the A's game was cancelled last night, since it stopped raining out here around 5pm.

    It seems like they forgot to tarp the field the night before, and the infield was underwater....

    Hurry up and move the team to San Jose already.

    I think the thing that should be really scary about the Tex injury is the fact that he seems to have injured himself doing regular baseball activities.

    Pretty sure Tex can injure himself making a cup of coffee at this point.

    Diamond Dynasty in the The Show is cool as hell but the motherfucker crashes on me constantly.

    There's a 100% chance of a total system freeze if I attempt to throw a runner out at 2nd before the ball hits the catchers glove

    God Perkins has absolutely killed me this week.

    My bullpen will be going through some changes. I already made one move, but I am looking for pen help - Official call for pen help.
