obscure stats

like how many quality starts a team has or tough losses or cheap wins etc etc etc

I don't think there's a such statistic as a "tough loss;" however, you might wanna try asking JUGGERNAUT with regards to things such as quality starts. JUGGERNAUT seems to be the king of statistics here at Soxtalk.

I do know off the top of my head that a quality start as definied by MLB is considered 6 IP with 3 ER or less. As it works out, 50% of starts by pitchers are quality starts and a team that gets a quality start from a pitcher tends to win 66% of the time that occurs.

Sox have 8 which lead all of baseball i believe. Might be someone tied with them.

I still will never understand why a 4.50 era is considered ''quality''.

Because your bullpen should be able to take care of business and your offense should be able to put up 4 runs.
