In my 3.30 pm post, those are the cumulative ERA’s for all Quality Starts in those years.

we used really work the opposition SP into high pitch counts last year
I’d be interested to see if that were actually true. It certainly seems reasonable on the face of it, but that’s usually when the actual facts tend to reach up and give one a bruise.

AtlYnkHtr and phil, 6 IP and 3 ER are the minimum requirements.
The average ERA in all quality starts is much lower than 4.50 (the ERA from 6 IP and 3 ER).
There is something very very odd about this argument. Something here sounds slightly ridiculous, that’s all. I am sure someone who is far brighter and more articulate will put their finger on it for me.

Jose Reyes just isn’t good enough for this Braves team.
I mean sure, on base, average, maybe slugging, SB, those are all good. But he just doesn’t have that clubhouse type of attitude that we need to put this offense over the top.

Thankfully, Snot does not deem me bright and/or articulate enough to respond. Just a joke Shaun.
Yes there has to be a minimum but arguing against raising (thats scoots) bar to bring it closer to the average while not raising the upper limit just seems rather flawed. Maybe it is not worth it in the grand scheme of things in order to compare this “stat” to prior years, but the main point was the fact that we need to start tempering our expectations on what offense and pitching looks like if these stats (ERA and Runs per Game) are going to be the new norm. Not really about QS, it was just used as a starting point for the discussion.

Shaun – I knew the 6 and 3 for quality starts….thanks for the enlightenment….
win-loss is not a great standard, yes.
7 innings, 2-3 earned runs, i can live that as some possible measure of effectiveness, but i still don’t like the word “quality”….
Again, too much reliance on statistics….the game is played between the lines and the fences…an ERA of 2.04 in “quality” starts in 2005 just makes me want to set fire to head….i don’t care and don’t want to know….i do want to know wins and losses and world championships.
Conversation and stats and reading about them are great for that limited purpose but beyond that, can the guy hit? Can the guy pitch? Can the guy field the ball? Can the guy throw? Can he draw a walk now and then? We make the game too dang complicated, like everything else in life…

Untrue. But there’s a big difference in “display of emotion” and “bush-league bulls***”, and you don’t need a white paper or Supreme Court ruling to know the difference. I think maybe Reyes has been guilty of the latter too often to get the benefit of the doubt on the former.

I think you guys are way off base in your efforts to quantify hitting coach performance.
The measure of a hitting coach (to me) is the degree to which he helps his players achieve the maximum possible result based on their particular abilities. To measure how good a job he’s doing, you’d have to first determine the maximum likely potential of the lineups he’s working with.
I’m sure some stat-geek could have a field day with that, but it’s way beyond my interest.
The other thing I would expect from a good hitting coach is evidence that he helps good hitters break out of slumps, and helps them quickly abandon bad habits that they might develop. Hard to see where our hitting coach has had too much success in that department.

SB, I get the oddity of the QS ERA. Worked out it is a 4.50 ERA. but the catch is in the fact that more often than not, most QS are a pitcher pitching six innings and allowing less than 3 runs, hence the ERA in a QS is lower than 4.5. Then there are guys who obtain the QS who pitch more than 6 innings, which also results in a lower ERA for a QS.
I like Nolan’s 7 innings pitched requirement. He aims to get the kids pitching more than 200 innings in a season which is better for the team. It reduces the strain on a bull pen, and allows for a team to carry an extra bat on the bench.
Aiming for a QS minimum every outing would result in a 4.50 ERA and 210 innings pitched. That’s practically a Derek Lowe in his late 30’s. It isn’t pretty. It’s the “innings eater” of a rotation. But there is a need for such.

Luv Ross. Perfect bench guy/ clubhouse guy and the BEST backup catcher in baseball. I haven’t always believed in the Vet catcher behind McCann. Corky Miller was absolutely worse than having Brayan Pena for instance. Ross surely deserves more AB and PT but at what expense?
True baseball fans appreciate Ross’ for his work and attitude.

Brian,
In your 1:19 remarks- with you 100% on the trading McCann, or any other change for him.
As for the “bizzaro world”-ness of Prado as a “super utility” man…why not?
In the first place,I did not suggest that. I was simply pointing out how the trading for a single bat could,indeed, be a catalyst for the Braves’ offense. An outfield of Pence and Heyward at the corners is argueably better, O and D wise than one of Prado and Heyward, especially so when Prado will probably play a significant role with starts, pinch hitting (against leftys),and late inning strategy. Not to mention the plus factor of his being able to fill in for both Chipper and Freddy with minimum disruption.
Seems to me that’s improvement in the two areas that need it most; sorry it doesn’t solve the issues in center,but Wren has to do something!
By the way, my personal preference would be to pick up Keppinger and leave Prado in left (if only one single move is available)…less cash, less cost in prospects,less change. Not as much offensive improvement. Thanks for your opinion.

I like that philosophy. The Rangers definitely have a different take on their pitching. They convert journeymen relievers and position players into consistent SPs, go deeper into the game (pitch counts be damned) and actually avoid investing heavily in free agent pitchers. Nice idea if it works. So far it seems okay.
Lew

A lot about Quality Starts depends on how you view them. One way of looking at them is that after six innings, your team is no further behind than a 3-0 score (hardly unheard of to come from behind to erase a three run deficit – and yes, I do realize that’ a steep climb for the current Braves’ offense, but nonetheless) and what that indicates is that you are still in the game with a third of the game left to play.
Mudge
June 27th, 2011

If you decide what typically a team wants, it’s first not to have a starter knocked out of the game. Three runs allowed in 6 innings will typically keep a pitcher in the game. The six innings allows three relief pitchers, who then have a chance to hold and save the game. It’s a pragmatic stat that identifies starters that keep their teams in the game for relief pitchers. It has, by and large, replaced complete games as a benchmark for starting pitchers. I guess they needed something.

Murph
June 27th, 2011
4:27 pm
Mike, I also think a hitting coach is tasked with getting hitters prepared for the pitcher they are going to face on any given night.
Based on the Braves’ hitters performance against the unknown pitcher, the rookie or the guy they haven’t faced previously, I’d say they’ve never done a very good job of that. Not sure if the fault for that goes to the hitting coach, the scouting department, or the individual hitters… probably some combination of all 3.
Mudge
June 27th, 2011

Of the Braves top three pitchers, Hudson, Hanson and Jurrjens, on average Jurrjens pitches 6.8 innings per start (total innings/games started), he is the team leader. Of the Phillies big three, Halladay. Hamels and Lee, they all average 7 or over innings per start. I am not sure what this means and certainly the argument can be made that Manuel is overworking them, but the Braves are much more reliant on relief pitching..
