SF Giants lineup has an odd wrinkle

San Francisco Chronicle — Brandon Crawford will be hitting fifth for the second time this year and third time in his career. The lineup against Kris Medlen: Blanco CF Abreu 2B Posey C Pence RF Crawford SS Belt 1B Torres LF Arias 3B Bumgarner P Note the slash lines for Crawford, batting fifth, and Pablo Sandoval, who was dropped to fifth before he got hurt: Crawford: .289/.353/.431 = .784 OPS Sandoval: .289/.326/.427 = .753 OPS The Giants still have a shot at a winning trip.

Braves 2, Dodgers 1

Braves Journal — Well that was interesting. The Braves eeked out a win on a night in which Justin Upton laid down a sac bunt, Clayton Kershaw pinch ran for Hanley Ramirez, and Kris Medlen hit the ultimate game-winning home run. Basically, just how they drew it up. A win is a win, but this one was as [...]

ATLANTA 2, DODGERS 1: Braves starter Kris Medlen has the edge over L.A.

Game 61 Thread: June 7 vs. Barves. 7p

Sons of Steve Garvey — Stephen Fife (1-0, 4.50 ERA) vs. Kris Medlen (2-6, 3.14 ERA) Still hung over from the wild win last night, and, quite, frankly, from the booze itself, we march on through this up and down season. Currently riding the Puigasm, we bow down to our young Cuban Jesus in hopes that he can provide the winning spark we've lacked so far this season. These last few exciting wins make it feel like we've gone on a 12-game win streak or something. Regrettably, Dodgers sit in last place, 6 games under .500 and 7.5 games out of first. Maybe it's optimism, though, or maybe it's fueled by the Bloody Marys ...

Kris Medlen bounces back in win

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Braves starting pitcher Kris Medlen pitched around his own fielding miscue to defeat the Mets Wednesday, 5-3. Medlen allowed three runs in the start, two of which came around after he made a throwing error in the top of the fifth. All three runs allowed came across in that fifth, on two hits and one hit by pitch, along with the error. Medlen allowed the one earned run on six hits and no walks in the outing, while striking out seven batters in seven innings of work. He threw 65 of 105 pitches for strikes in the game. Medlen is now 4-7 on the season, but 3-1 over his last four starts. He has a 2...

Plenty of speculation about Kris Medlen

CBSSports.com Fantasy — With Julio Teheran seemingly finding himself in the majors, I've seen blogs and columns wildly speculating (or perhaps not so wildly, seeing as a beat writer for The Atlanta-Journal Constitution is involved) that Kris Medlen will be the one bumped from the starting rotation when Brandon Beachy returns from Tommy John surgery a few weeks from now. I have to say I'm troubled by this speculation. Specifically, I'm troubled that as widespread as it has become, it might actually have some teeth to it. Given the Braves' sound judgment with pitching, I'd normally dismiss the thought of them relegatin...
