all those screaming about KK/Medlen need to take a look at Medlen’s stats as a starter. They are not nearly as good as when he relieves

Medlen threw too many change up’s in the first inning. B-Mac’s gotta mix it up better with the pitch calling.

Yeah, you didn’t miss a thing in the White Sox series…yuck…Good to have you back, though!
Of course it’s gonna rain and make my dish go out so I can’t see the game now.
Oh man…that stinks. I was about to type that you’re just in time for McCann’s 100th career homer…Well, maybe he cann wait till your TV comes back on.

Yeah, Smoltz was in Atlanta today too. I saw on the news earlier that he was playing basketball with the Atlanta Dream today so I thought he’d be doing the game.

What’s up with the Braves staff? Medlin looked like batting practice after out one!
Hope the history of Braves struggling against young, unseen, callups doesn’t continue tonight. Uggg a lefty to boot!

Were it not for the terrific catches by Heyward and Cabrera, that inning would really have gotten ugly for Medlen. Wow.
And again, it’s a reminder why Cox almost never makes announcements such as who’s getting booted from the rotation, until he has to. Because things can happen.

Trouble is that the players read this blog and after reading hundreds of posts each day about how terrible they are it erodes their confidence. They start pressing and play defensively cause they are scared to make a mistake that will get them raked over the coals again.

@Escobar Estimate- I think that’s a totally fair estimate. I don’t necessarily think strasburg deserves the all-star game either actually. I was just bringing up how people would justify it. I don’t think every fan that wants him is just blindly following the media. I’m sure some are, but not most.

not a good sign…. give up a early run, Prado has a good AB and lead off with single but then just nothing… We really hit into 2 Double Plays that inning really, Heyward hit the ball so hard his speed wouldnt have made any difference, but they didnt have a good flip and turn, Chippa hits it hard right at 2b for the dp…. Medlen looks scared…

Steve Avery is the man. Definitely one of my favorite players from back in the day.
He was absolutely every bit the pitcher any of those guys were from ‘91 to ‘95. Well, ‘94 at least.

The thought that a single Braves player would ever read any part of this blog, on purpose, at any time for any reason is about a thousand times more pathetic than any piece of trash talk by a Met fan.
