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

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
