Just prior to NLCS Game 2, a couple of our Indiana-based relatives — at the risk of giving our St. Louis readers the wrong impression, they are “Hoosiers” in the proper sense — with whom we watched the game asked who the better pitcher was, Michael Wacha or Clayton Kershaw. What our relatives lack in baseball knowledge, they make up for in their passion for basketball, so we could forgive them for not knowing the answer to such a facile question: Kershaw, of course, he of an MLB-topping 6.5 WAR and a microscopic 2.39 FIP that will surely help him to his second Cy Young Award. Wacha was merely a rookie, abeit a very talented rookie, who at the time was making only his 11th big-league start.
