The Royals will put the ball in play and force defenses to make outs. They won't strike out very often in a men-on situation. Makes it tougher to get out of jams...

The 2015 Lynn is not the same Lynn that pitched last year. Those games he let his emotions get the best of him. That happens, you will smoke him fast. But, he is way better this year with maintaining focus.
Hamas or DJ could better explain why a 93-94 mph fastball is having so much success.
Ask any Cardinal fan, I couldn't handle the Lynn with all this talent folding at the first time someone makes an error or doesn't get a call from the ump. I wanted to trade him. Now the 2015 Lynn, if he maintains composure, he could possibly be a #1. He has really turned it around.
