Medlen’s First Start One to Forget

By: mbohn

Kris Medlen made his Major League debut on Thursday night, and it was not one for the scrapbook. Rather, it was one for the scrapheap, if you will. Dude’s wheels came off in the fourth inning, as he lost command of his pitches. Final line was three innings pitched, one loss, five earned runs, five walks handed out, and three strikeouts.
Do not panic, it was Medlen’s debut and he was obviously nervous. He will get another chance to prove he is ready in five days when the Braves are in San Francisco, and then his third will come at Arizona. Those should be favorable matchups for Medlen, so it will be interesting to see how he responds. Of course, the Rockies should have been favorable as well.
If Medlen does not perform well in his next two starts, he will certainly be sent back down to the Minors. The question will be in who replaces him. Will it be Tom Glavine, Charlie Morton, or some dude named Tommy Hanson?
