Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kris Medlen has been dialed in since joining the rotation back on July 31st. Medlen, 7-0 with a 0.81 ERA since then, has proved dominant for the Braves who find themselves sitting atop the NL Wild Card standings. The Braves are well ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers, two teams currently battling for that newest Wild Card spot, hoping to avoid being left out of one of the most exciting playoff chases in recent MLB history. All of this leaving the Braves feeling pretty good about where they stand and feeling even better about their emerging ace. Last night [Friday] Medlen punched out a career high 13 batters in seven innings of work, only allowing one earned run against the Washington Nationals; Medlen’s only run given up to Nationals rookie Bryce Harper, who jacked a solo shot home run in the sixth inning.

And not when he started this season in the Braves' bullpen. That's just how he thinks, how he attacks life. It's not cockiness or arrogance. He just thinks he can beat you. Medlen is the guy with the straight...

Happy Kris Medlen Day, Braves Fans, But Are you Nervous Yet?

Via Off The Bench  |  September 14, 2012
With 2011 still painfully fresh in their minds and an eerily similar position in the standings, the 2012 Atlanta Braves have to be at least a little nervous about where they stand in relation to the playoffs. I know it took a historic collapse and one of the most dramatic nights in baseball history to see the Wild Card lead finally disappear in 2011, the 2012 standings look very...
