My son is friends with a kid whose parents were hippies
One kid is named Morning Star, his brother is Orion, and the third kid is named Rigel.
regarding the quality start
to make any sense,
it ought to be determined by how many runs you give up through 6.
if your pen is taxed, and your manager needs 8 from his starter,
and he gives up a solo jack with 2 out in the eighth, to make it 4 earned
there goes the qs
squeeze another inning out of harden
and hit for him in our five run fifth
he's not an orange, where is your empathy man!

Harden sure is using the slider a lot, according to Gameday
He must realize his other stuff isn’t working… he normally tries to avoid using the slider, thinks it’s tough on his arm
