I came across the probable pitchers page on Braves.com and the photos of Kris Medlen and Jamie Moyer next to each other made me laugh out loud! Moyer looks all down-trodden and over-it, Medlen looks really excited to be taking a picture. Medlen was born less than a year before Moyer made his Major League debut.

Looking forward to seeing if Diaz can do anything with Moyer.

nice prediction

wow...that guy is old!
I can never say this anymore.
Jaghomer - July 7, 2010
Moyer reminds me of the old pitcher from Major League. Watch out for any vaseline balls… lol

Anything to give him another 5 or 6 inches drop on his curveball.
Pavy848 - July 7, 2010
I vaguely remember Uecker referring to it at the KY special haha

You tryin' to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?
C’mon Harris let’s not make this a holy war here
kreese555 - July 7, 2010
So ridiculous.. Jesus up there trying to hit some dingers
joshmaurer - July 7, 2010
If you ever see him with a jalapeno...
You’ll know why.

Vaughn: What’s that shit on your chest?
Harris: Crisco… Bardol… Vagisil. Any one of them will give you another two to three inches drop on your curve ball. Of course if the umps are watching me real close I’ll rub a little jalapeo up my nose, get it runnin’, and if I need to load the ball up I just… …wipe my nose.
Vaughn: You put snot on the ball?
Harris: I haven’t got an arm like you, kid. I have to put anything on it I can find. Someday you will too.

nicely done
kreese555 - July 7, 2010
I dearly love
The way Sheen emphasises the word “snot” in that sequence.
Having Vaughn be a broken down ex-fireballer, a la Frank Tannana in the late 80’s, would be a great place to start if they ever wanted to crack that piggy bank open again.
Sam Jethroe - July 8, 2010
Funny!
Chelcie Ross (the guy who played that old pitcher) was born 10/1942. The movie was released 4/1989 and presumably filmed prior prior to his birthday in 1988, so he actually would’ve been 46. Moyer is old balls.

Bartender...
…JoBoo needs a refill
bashby20sh - July 7, 2010
Moyer would smile but he forgot to use Poligrip this morning. Also dig the curved bill on his cap compared to Med’s flat bill style.
adc62 - July 7, 2010
11 year old pitching against a 97 year old.
MBL1 - July 7, 2010
Hopefully Medlen’s run support owns up to this fact.
Joseph_C - July 7, 2010
Looks like Med’s hat was his elementary school graduation gift

GWINNETT BRAVES
on MLB network right now. Getting slammed.
traphicg - July 7, 2010
Like I ever needed to see Reyes on the mound again.
Anywhere.
Sam Jethroe - July 7, 2010
Yep,
JoJo looked just as bad for the G-Braves as he did for the A-Braves. :(
HEYJUDE - July 7, 2010
lol
Go Meds!!
Chief Noc-A-Homa - July 7, 2010
"Now, you boys stop hiding daddy's shoes from him!"
“I mean it!!
Sam Jethroe - July 7, 2010
i love the way medlen wears his hat lol
sepulcher - July 7, 2010
Not-so-random fact: Medlen is undefeated as a starter and the Braves are 9-1 in his starts.
TonyAlmeyda - July 7, 2010
And Gregor Blanco HITS LIKE AN ALL STAR!!!!!!! !!! !! !!!!!! !
MichaelProcton - July 8, 2010
its going to be a good game. i still dont think phillies pitching staff can keep up with the braves hitters and the braves pitching, well they havent done to bad this year. GO BRAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Daddy Cox - July 7, 2010
I'm hoping for a better game against Moyer tonight
than the last time we faced him.
Go Braves!
HEYJUDE - July 7, 2010
Apparently this ump has a mancrush on his elder, because he has been as bad a
balls/strikes ump as I have seen since the Livan Hernandez/Eric Gregg debacle.
Howard should never have come up in the 5th, because Ibanez had struck out looking on the 2-2 pitch.
This is an absolute mockery of baseball.
Fred Pen - July 7, 2010
Looks like an after school special.
This is a young athlete from your local high school.
This is what he looked like after doing meth for 6 months.
