I am pumped, can't wait.

What do you think Bobby will call him?

Krisy or Medly?

Re: Kris Melden on the bump tonight for the Braves

Find it odd that announcers do not mention that Medlen's misses are a result from going a minor league regulated ball to a major league regulated one. Every pitcher I talked in the minors say that going from a MLB ball in ST to a minor league ball that 1st game of the minor league season is hard. Threads are thicker on a OMLB and the OMLB moves more with less effort.

At this rate 4 innings from Medlen is a good.

Helton owned him in the first, then he made Helton look silly in the 3rd. The kid looks good.

Yunel Escobar hair looks heavy metro sexual.

And he looks like a flailing lunatic with his swing. He hit the freaking ump with the bat after he ran to first. ::facepalm::

Finally, they mention the balls seams being different.

About 4 innings for Kris.

If getting a bloop broken bat single hit equals owning someone, then yet, Helton owned him.

Re: Kris Melden on the bump tonight for the Braves

That was a mental breakdown that eventually lead to him not concentrating on his release point. Great reason why you want to see players struggle in the minors. I doubt he had 3 starts like that the past 4 years.

Re: Kris Melden on the bump tonight for the Braves

and you got to wonder why Chipper or Casey didn't point any of that out considering they played with him all spring.

A ten pitch at-bat that results in a full count broken bat single is being owned, yes.

Won't do any good for his cards, but he will be back next week for round two i'm sure.
