this idiot in my fantasy baseball league is starting johhny cueto straight off the DL.....no way does he have enough of a leash to get anywhere near enough pitches to qualify for a quality start or a W and go even semi deep in the game. rookie mistake. Now- if Cueto jams it in my ass i will feel stupid

Cueto is a vet and he pitched 10.1 innings in his last 2 rehab starts.

He is likely to get 5 innings of pitching decently and could get 6.

So, you are probably wrong here.

4th inning just started. Cueto has given up 1 hit, 1 walk and has struck out 2. Gigantes are up 3-0.

Cueto: 5 innings, 1 hit, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts

Seems like a quality start.

an easy thing to say 45 minutes into the game fuck stick. Especially when they said pre game he would likely be limited to 75 pitches.

The concern for pitchers coming back from TJ is command. But, Cueto has a 21/1 K/BB ratio over his 21 plus rehab innings. Small sample for sure, but that showing combined with Cueto’s strong track record make him worth giving a shot to for streamers who need innings. He has always been extremely efficient with his pitches.

Calling that a “rookie mistake” is short sighted on your part. And it figures that Cueto would pitch well after your comment.

So thanks for guaranteeing that he had a good outing!

by definition its not a quality start - technically

Disagree. Pretty sure a pitcher has to go 5 innings to be eligible for the win.

He went 5 innings and got the win. Gave up only 1 hit and 1 walk, struck out 4.

Quality start.

so obviously you do not know how MLB defines a quality start. As i said- under the MLB defintion it was not a quality start. If you look it up i am SURE you will be able to find out very quickly how a QS is defined.

I'll save you from looking.

He pitched well, and depending on rules of league wiggy was wrong and he should have used him, but QS is 6 innings or more and 3 or less earned runs.

lol

Had already looked it up. He was one inning shy of the MLB definition. But Wiggy was still wrong based on the convo.

seems so...unless a ton of points added to pitcher with a QS.
Yes- you do get extra points for a quality start- which, pretty much any baseball knows is pitching at least 6 innings and giving up no more than 3 earned runs. And again- that is the MLB definition- not mine.

What's your definition? MLB's seems a little odd to me.
