He's been unreal! And to think...the organization wasn't sure if he was ready to be a starter!! Guess that question has been put to bed!

I have been a braves fan for 40 years, and i have never seen anything like this stretch (including greg maddux). 26 straight starts without a loss? Incredible.......

David- He has primarily been a reliever his whole career until recently. The only loss he has this year was out of the bullpen......

Default Kris Medlen
Assuming the Braves make the playoffs under the most likely scenario and have a 1 game WC round, will Fredi start the experienced Tim Hudson for all the marbles or go with the inexperienced hot hand?

It appears you are correct, from the MLB website:

PHILADELPHIA -- Manager Fredi Gonzalez has altered his rotation to line Kris Medlen up to start the one-game playoff the Braves will play if they gain entry to the postseason with one of the National League's two Wild Card entries.

as far as i know, yes. He has not lost in his last 26 starts, he has either won or it was a no decision. Also, the braves have won 21 straight games that he has started.

I've been watching him too. Despite only ten decisions, he really should be in the mix for the Cy Young award. Sometimes a players stats are so far off the charts you have to bend the criteria a little.
