    Only 1 out of those 11 starts was not a quality start. He has 10 quality starts in 18 games. Ricky Nolasco has 11 quality starts in 18 games. Very close. So, by your definition, Nolasco is not very good, either?

    • ricky has not been very good this year

      also chris volstad has been a little worse

      and quality start is still a stupid statistic

          This.
          The really good pitchers think a so-called "quality start" is a disappointment.

            • Well, excuse me. I'm sure we all would like 5 JJ's on the staff but no one has that. NO ONE.

              As has been said before, the starting rotation has been the least of our problems this year. They have a lot less to do with why we are where we are than the dreadful bullpen, horrible bench, bad defense and inconsistent offense. I still say that the demotion of Volstad to the minors was unwarranted.

                          • **Chris Volstad started for New Orleans. He threw slightly harder than Diamond at 90-92 with sink, mixed in a slider at 84-86, changeup at 79. Although he threw six shutout innings, he walked four guys and did show a tendency to look "out of whack" with runners on base. With nobody on he was quick and efficient, but when a runner got on base, he would get really fidgety, slow down his pace, and look uncomfortable, with bad body language. But he was able to work out of all the jams, including one absolutely brilliant placement of a 79 MPH changeup on the outside corner to get a critical strikeout in the fourth inning. This was his first start since getting sent down to the minors.

                            • Hey, he struggles with runners on base and looks out of whack. And he needs to work on that part of his performance. Just like what Randy St. Claire said. Strange.
