I agree. People have had problems with him only going 5 innings though. He seems to be the pitcher that always sparks back up that stupid quality start debate.

I'm not a QS guy as 6-3 doesn't seem like a quality start, imo. But I do like starters when they can pitch 7-8 innings.

Last year league average was 5.8 innings per start. Last year there were 49 MLB pitchers that averaged more than 6 innings per start. There were only 3 that averaged 7 or more innings per start. Kershaw 7.1; Greinke 7.0 and Keuchel 7.0
I'm with you there. I'm just realistic that there aren't that many pitchers doing that today.

I didn't say they had to average 7. Just get there more than once every 15 starts. More than half of JV's starts are 7+. That's a starter.

JV is the exception...not the rule. Like I said...only 49 pitchers averaged more than 6 innings per start in 2015, JV was 12th at 6.7. Sanchez was 30th at 6.3...you do remember how effective he was last year!

Again the average? I didn't say he should get there every game.. Are you hearing impaired?

The number is 79 for all MLB starters. Not sure where you got 49. 113 starters with at least 5.8 IP.
The average QS = 50% in 2015
119 starters had at least 50%, 99 with at least 10 Game Started

Miggy is something with his opposite field power.

Looking at stats now, he's way ahead in ERA. Maybe Cy Young..

It appears # of qualified pitchers over 6 IP/Start was closer to 49 for the year. Which seems more relevant than looking at all.

There was only 61 qualified AL starters in 2015.
32 averaged 6.0 IP or more (52.2%) (47 non-qualified)
43 averaged 5.8 IP or more (70.5%) (65 non-qualified)
There was 124 qualified MLB starters in 2015
59 averaged 6.0 IP or more (48.8%) (79 non-qualified)
80 averaged 5.8 IP or more (64.5%) (113 non-qualified)
So 70.5% of "qualified" AL starters met the 5.8 IP average.
