Agreed. All it means is by the time you leave your team hasn't been blown out yet. Plus it doesn't recognize that the way pitchers are being used nowadays, some 4 or 5 inning performances can be pretty valuable if they shut the other team down.

so should modify quality start like they have different standards for saves

5 innings with zero runs should be a QS for example......i belive if you pitch the last 4 innings you get a save in a lot more ways than you can if only pitch the 9th
