I'm watching game 1 of the '15 WS right now and they just a montage of all of Madson's homers in the playoffs to that point. Not pretty.
But he gutted it out during the WS when we needed him. And he kept battling and got out of 2nd and 3rd one out in the Houston game when no one thought it mattered.
Holy crap just watched the highlight - is that Vasgersian doing the call? Maybe he's just terrible luck for Madson. He absolutely crushed that thing. He knew it instantly - was flipping his bat before his backswing finished.

And holy shit Chris Young - our unsung MVP that postseason. How many times did we need him to just hold on and he delivered?
