[QUOTE="Squints, post: 293591, member: 822"] It's a school of thought that's becoming more prevalent in MLB that you should avoid having your starting pitcher avoid going through a line-up more than twice if you can and absolutely do not let them go through a line-up for a fourth time unless the score isn't close or the pitcher is dominant. The numbers show that hitters perform far better the more they see the pitcher so get him out as soon as you're comfortably able. It's why the role and value of relievers has been increasing the past few seasons. It's fairly rare to have a consistent middle reliever go for 2-3 innings in the regular season but that's not the postseason (i.e. the way the Indians used Andrew Miller in this past year). But the good teams are making an effort to stack effective late inning relievers now and there's just more of them in general. Just throwing it out there but Quality Starts isn't a great stat. It's very arbitrary. You can have a full season of 32 quality starts and you could still be a below average pitcher by a lot of measures. And expecting starters to go 7 innings is probably a little generous these days. [/QUOTE]
