He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

Just heard the Cubs have closed a deal for Pirates lefty reliever John Grabow. They are still interested in adding a backup outfielder.

I knew after seein his game 3 playoff start. he could never make it in chicago.
He looked like he crapped his pants just warming up in the bullpen and being in that situation. and after that first pitch where he gave up home run. and from that point on Hill has lost his complete game. Pretty sure 90% if not 100% is mental.

I've always had a problem with that stat
3 runs in 6 innings gives you a 4.50 ERA, not too good in my book. Now if a quality start was 2 runs in 6 innings then I would agree.

KaliCub re quality starts
your criticism was originally made by Moss Klein of TSN, according to the wiki for quality starts:
High ERA
An early criticism of the statistic, made by Moss Klein, writing in The Sporting News, is that a pitcher could conceivably meet the minimum requirements for a quality start and record a 4.50 ERA, seen as undesirable at the time. Bill James addressed this in his 1987 Baseball Abstract, saying the hypothetical example (a pitcher going exactly 6 innings and allowing exactly 3 runs) was extremely rare amongst starts recorded as quality starts, and that he doubted any pitchers had an ERA over 3.20 in their quality starts. This was later confirmed through computer analysis of all quality starts recorded from 1984 to 1991, which found that the average ERA in quality starts during that time period was 1.91.3
I work for the Cubs so I am really getting a kick out of a lot of these replies.
Even if 6 IP, 3 ER is the exception rather than the common case
I still don’t think a situation where the pitcher has an ERA of 4.50 should be considered quality.
Either 6 IP and 2 ER or 7 IP and 3 ER should qualify.
both of those are probably too rare
it’s not “great start” it’s just “quality”
I work for the Cubs so I am really getting a kick out of a lot of these replies.
The point isn't that it was a great performance.
The point is that it gives the team a decent chance to win — with an average bullpen and average offense, somewhere around even odds to win. If a pitcher routinely gets quality starts he’s routinely giving his team a chance to win.
But still, can't we adapt the stat to measure 2 runs in 6 innings.
And isn’t this start by Hart today going to be a quality start, and I would in no way say that Hart had a quality start today. He did his job, but not something worthy of a good stat.
