Since I had way more time than necessary because it was hot and I didn't want to leave the hotel room and there was nothing noteworthy on TV (With all do respect to EURO, Italy was up 2-0)...I decided to track each teams pitchers and examine quality starts...You tell me if there is a correlation between standings and quality starts...
Remember a quality start is six innings or more and three or less earned runs...This even though Roth allowed five last night only three were earned...
London - 23 (Richmond - 7)
Evansville - 21 (Blewett - 6)
Washington - 21 (Smith - 6)
BOOMERS - 19 (Staff Leader: Roth - 7)
Windy City - 19 (Sauer - 7)
Gateway - 18 (Brown - 7)
Florence - 18 (Lewis - 6)
Lake Erie - 16 (Fagan - 5)
Normal - 16 (Lavigne/Britt - 4)
Joliet - 15 (Maxwell - 5)
Southern Illinois - 15 (Harden - 6)
River City - 15 (Vancil - 4)
Traverse City - 14 (Kelly - 5)
Rockford - 6 (Lee/VanderWall - 2)
What's interesting is that the team who leads the league in ERA is second to last in quality starts...London ranks 11th in ERA but first in quality starts...
Project for tomorrow will be to examine how many close games each team has been in to see if maybe problems are at the backside of the pen or with the offense perhaps...Fascinating numbers none the less...
