Exactly, I consider Meds the ace of this staff right now. Put him in for the WC game, don’t need the opponents to score 4 runs in the 1st

The question was posed on the radio the other day that should the Braves win a wild card spot with enough time to work out the rotation, who would you like to see pitch the wild card 1-game playoff? My preference then is the same right now. It would be Medlen. He is the only one that I would trust to get us to the NLDS.

They obviously traded Uggla for Infante because Dan is a better fielder, We sure know he can’t hit like Infante. Why did that hater sit Uggla?

to whoever said they miss the 2011 version of EOF?
Uhh….
he’s allowed 11 ER in 43.2 IP (3.09 ERA)
In his first 9 appearances of the year, 7 of the ER were allowed.
So if you take those 3 outings out of the mix, he’s allowed 4 ER in 40.2 IP (0.88 ERA)
Either way, since you can’t “take away” outings…..
Since the 9th outing in 35.1 IP, he’s allowed those 4 ER (1.01 ERA)
So, uh…. yeah…. I think save 3 early season outings…. EOF is just fine.
But thanks for your wish.

Uggla needs to clear his head for a few days. A pinch hit appearance defeats the purpose.
Also hard to get a good vibe at bat with an isolated pinch hit appearance.
up 4 runs there was no reason for it

what are the run differentials in the games this year? I dont’ recall that many blowouts (and would say coming back from down what 9 is about the worst you can do to a team)
