Joe Strauss: "Sabermetrics hate Lance Lynn"

[navamind]

Couldn't be any further from the truth.

According to one St. Louis writer, Sabermetrics hate Lance Lynn | HardballTalk

 

[Clayton]

A bit of a sensationalist title. The metrics generally like Lance Lynn. Its the assumption that if he loses his ability to strike guys out then he is going to be in trouble. Lynn is a guy who is really streaky because of it.

No NL pitcher has more wins in the last 2 years than Lance Lynn.

No NL pitcher has more wins in the last 2 years than Lance Lynn.

He's also had the most run support in the NL the past 2 years (by a pretty good margin in each of those seasons).

Lance Lynn showing why he's 6-4 this year. You are never sure which Lance Lynn is going to show up at the ball park. Some days he's absolutely unbeatable and some days he's horrible.And tonight is one of those horrible nights. He can't seem to find the plate.

I have noticed the Cards tough starting pitchers get nervous in early innings especially on the road. Baseball is a mental game. If each team hires a psychologist to toughen up mentality regardless of where they play, they will pick up a lot of wins on the road. Let's see how Lynn will overcome early inning jitters tonight.
