Battle Of Who Could Pitch Less

The best way to survive a best-of-seven series with such awful starting pitching is to face an opponent whose starters aren't any throwing any better.

Anybody who predicted Lance Lynn would throw the fourth most innings of any St. Louis pitcher goes to the front of the class.

Today, Doug Melvin is saying "Give me my Lawrie back, I want my Lawrie back...."

But really, this is what says it all:

I didn't include anything in the way of advanced stats, mostly cause I don't really know what to add
