Cups are highly effective now. They just reduce it to serious pain now.
Soon as I saw it I knew exactly where it hit! Chip Caray said, “Not sure exactly where it got McCann,” and before they could show the replay I voiced, “Oh yeah, I know exactly where it got him!”
True story time! I became a catcher when they moved me from third base because the guy they originally selected as the catcher on the team proved to be bat blind. He kept blinking his eyes everytime the batter swung and he couldn’t catch the ball. They put me behind the plate and I did not flinch.
So, I became a catcher!
I just lauched my arse off! Just saw the TV replay of the scene in the dugout showing Medlen walking up to McCann just as he sat on the bench and gave him a hug with a joking spirit that was priceless!

Heisenberg – I assure you McCann is wearing a cup but they just don’t do much on a direct hit. Might keep you from dying from pain or having to have surgery, but they just don’t stop the pain of getting hit.
After about 2 minutes when you start to realize you might have died without a cup, you’ll be very happy you did wear one.

Or, did the Braves do a very smart thing by putting him the bullpen initially and lower his total innings pitched to give time for his surgically repaired shoulder the extra time to recover to make him this effective?
If they did that i’m sure it was purely accidental, Braves management isn’t that smart.

Shutout yesterday, and two runs today. Had Werner not hung a curve to Uggla, it would have been a mere run for two games.

don’t like when teams let a player take 2nd uncontested; it prolongs the game, might set up a big inning. If he steal it, he steals, but don’t give it to him for free

Medlen – typical SoCal talent which the Braves don’t draft enough of.
Two pitches for a strike — effective.
Three pitchers for a strike — elite.
Typical Gonzalez — not recognizing this guy’s talent right away. Guy has Maddux movement and that’s not jumping the gun. Plays the game the right way.
