Think Mike Matheny Is A Little Biased In His All Star Starting Pitcher Selection?

Matheny on Wainwright over Kershaw: “not an easy task, even though it may look that way.” Others deserving but “none more so” than Adam.

None deserving more than Adam Wainwright except the guy who is the best pitcher in baseball and is on a month stretch where he has been virtually unhittable.

Wait, wait! My bad, the starter who will pitch 2 innings and then eat seeds in the dugout all night is about leadership not pitching, duh. You wouldn’t get it, it’s a Cardinal thing.

Matheny on why he went Wainwright over Kershaw: “Have the utmost respect for Clayton.” But Wainwright b/c of leadership & performance
