I'm ecstatic that we won the last two games in walk off fashion, and know that the first run across the plate is the only one that matters. Since baseball is such a game of stats and numbers, though, what happens to the batter who made the hit (other than an RBI) and the other guys that are left on base? They don't need to cross home plate even though they could (sometimes). Are they just considered Left on Base or what? I'm wondering because the bases were loaded when Rutschman scored the winning run.
Also, what is a quality start for the pitcher? And why doesn't Utah have a better record? They seem like the toughest team we've played (seems like they are even better than Arizona)?
Thanks!

I believe that unless it is a home run, any base runner behind the winning run does not score, and the batter gets a single, or a sacrifice. LOB doesn't count here. A quality start is 6 innings giving up 3 runs or less. Utah caught fire against the ucks last weekend and came in with a lot more confidence, they are tenacious, but we aren't the ucks. |

I would assume any runner that didn't score on the walk-off is considered "left on base", but it could be one of those obscure baseball stat conventions that doesn't make much sense (like not awarding an RBI if a runner scores when you ground into a double play).
A quality start is considered when you pitch at least 6 innings and give up 3 earned runs or fewer. A 9 inning complete game allowing 4 ER is NOT a QS.

Does winning or losing factor in for a "Quality" start? If you go 7 innings and give up 2 earned runs and lose 2 - 1, is that a quality start or If you go 9 innings and give up 4 earned runs and win 5 - 4, etc. etc. etc. It seems to be a weird stat. You can pitch great and lose or really have a poor outing, and win. Like the above mentioned no RBI on a double play, when you have actually batted in a run. That's something I did not know and, I strongly disagree with. Should be a RBI. |

A quality start is 6 innings giving up 3 runs or less. Utah caught fire against the ucks last weekend and came in with a lot more confidence, they are tenacious, but we aren't the ucks. Utah was 9-4 in their non-conference series. However, the Utes are 0-3 in midweek games. Their first two conference series were both on the road, and they went 1-5. 2-1 against Oregon last weekend. No midweek game this week. I have not watched them other than this series. However, I get the feeling that they are solid up top but lack depth. Their schedule has also been tough. They have probably already played four of the five best teams in the Pac-12. I think that they may be a top 5 team in conference but are currently sitting in 10th. |
