Kris Medlen sends kids racing after baseball (Video)

Found May 09, 2012 on Holdout Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Kris Medlen
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves,  Chicago Cubs

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Kris Medlen chatted with a group of young fans at Wrigley Field before Tuesday night's game against the Chicago Cubs, but only had one baseball to give them. Rather than picking one kid over the other using the "eenie, meenie, miney, moe" method, Medlen just tossed the ball into the stands and let the kids race after it.



That's a good way to give the kid a ball - make him work for it.

Via Fox Sports South  |  May 10, 2012
The guy with the answers is never too far away whenever Craig Kimbrel needs advice or an opinion, or could just use a laugh. He can usually just turn to his left or right to find his knowledgeable teammate, the veteran who is quick to share his wisdom, a joke or two, and a smile that disappears only when he enters a game. Kimbrel, the Braves overpowering young closer, has come...

The Atlanta Braves are having the type of road trip that's needed to win a division championship. Atlanta's baseball club improved to 4-1 on its nine-game trip with a 3-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night. The win put the Braves back even with the young Washington Nationals, who lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Braves won with the bats in a three-game sweep...

The 2012 Minor League Report – Week 6

Via Fantasy Baseball Tools  |  May 08, 2012
Former Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens threw well in his second start in the minor leagues, allowing two runs in eight innings with a walk and three strikeouts. In his first start at Triple-A, he allowed one run in seven innings with four strikeouts. Jurrjens would likely have a slight edge over AAA teammate Julio Teheran if the Braves needed a starter from the...
