530-6ish today. You've read the rant before....QS is a decent stat; QS% is a very useful metric. I also talked a little bit about PQS. Tommy agreed that I had a good point about the relative infrequency of the 6IP/3ER start.

I likened it to dismissing HRs as a power stat b/c it includes inside the parkers.

Not the best analogy, but it got my point across.

I must have tuned in right after you were on, because the discussion was still quality starts, but the only call I heard was someone suggesting renaming the stat to a "decent start," an idea which Tom liked. Then Tom went off on the hold stat - I switched over to 95.7 at that point.

You may have given up too quickly. Tom was talking about the QS, then went on break. After the break, tz was on (I missed the beginning of his call).

Based on my comments DURING the call, he was on at 5:45...

I heard too late as well I think. May have been just after the call. I was driving home at 5:50pm and heard Tom muttering something about how he still doesn't like the term "Quality Start". How funny.

BTW Cal, did he sound like a 5'3", pimply faced geek?

He kinda sounded like a middle-aged jewish lawyer, if I am being honest

Now batting for Milwaukee vs the Dogs with 2 on no out...Travis Ishikawa

Homeboy doubles in a run, ties it up 1-1. 2nd and 3rd no outs. Go Brew Crew.

Where is that Dodger Schadenfreude Thread anyway? (Wisconsin is in Canada, right?)

Ishi the Dodger killer.

Matt Kemp just hit his 7th HR. Dayum.

Dodgers = good, I'm afraid.

Still WAY too early.

They are essentially a 3-person team. They have played SD 7 times and Pit 3 times. If they were NOT 9-1 during that stretch, they should have simply folded the org...

Since that run, they are 0-2 against the Crew...

9-1 is 9-1 no matter who you play, you know that...

Their pitching is much better than you give credit for ('3 person team'). I'm not saying they are 100 wins, but I think they will be more of a challenge than we expected.

He's up again, 1st and 2nd, this time 2 outs...

RBI single...Dodger killer indeed!

Because I had no other thread to place this.

Nice post by Dr.B on his blog about where Cain's back-to-back starts rank historically. As well as an opinion about the handling of Belt - one I agree with, btw.

I just saw the box score of tonight's Fresno game, and noticed that Todd Linden is back with the Giants. How did I miss that earlier?
