#Braves Beachy now faces possibility of needing a 2nd Tommy John surgery, too. Will find out more Monday.

David O'Brien ‏@ajcbraves 3m
#Braves Beachy said when he told us Mon. he was confident ligament was good and was only biceps, he did so because that's what he was told.

#Braves Beachy: "Lot of frustration. Really, really frustrated."

**** **** **** **** **** **** ****

Why does this happen to us?!?!?

[Knucksie]

The first surgery must've been botched up for this to happen so soon after expected recovery.

[AUTiger7222]

I just don't believe it. The city of Atlanta is so cursed.

[The Chosen One]

Can we fire who's in charge of our rehabilitation program?

[thethe]

Maybe Dalyn was right about him being rushed last year.....

Damn I didn't want to have to admit that.

[Millwood1Hitter]

LOL, what a freakin joke.

There was a time when there was the notion that once a pitcher had TJ he came back stronger and would be relatively problem free in that area for the remainder of their career. Over time, that proved to be true, with so many success stories and little failures. I think most organizations came to the realization that a pitcher having to have TJ surgery was inevitable, but it was a good thing, and wanted to get it out of the way.

Until, of course, it involves some young Braves.

What a freakin joke

Cursed isn't even a word for it. I can't explain it.

Really, are you freakin kiddin me?

WTF SMH

[jpx7]

Damn.

We need to bring in another arm, IMO. Even with the Santana signing the rotation is looking fragile as all get out.

[The Chosen One]

So much for the opening day predicted rotation of:

Medlen
Minor
Beachy
Teheran
Garcia/Wood

[jpx7]

The Braves' medical staff is the Yellow King.

[jcc03004]

This really really sucks so at full strength now were Teheran minor Santana wood hale pretty much? Damn now I'm waiting to find out that Julio also needs tommy John and we have to bring Dan kolb out of retirement to pitch what next make pitch opening day starter

[Millwood1Hitter]

We've had so many good pitchers come through our system lately that had early success at the major league level that flamed out due to some sort of injury. I understand that is the way it works but my golly this is damn frustrating and infuriating to say the least.

Wasn't that long ago we had:

Jair Jurrjens: that proved he was a top of the rotation starter with 3 solid years and had a bright future ahead of him until a freak knee injury ended his career
Tommy Hansen: One of the best prospects in all of baseball that showed he was a dominant starter his first few years in MLB until shoulder problems diminished his effectiveness
Johnny Venters: Guy was absolute beast and unhittable relievers in game, still recovering and don't know how he will respond yet to second TJ surgery

Now Beachy & Medlen?

Really, what the hell is going on here?

Bad medical department? Poor throwing program? Bad mechanics being taught?

Somebody needs to do some explaining becasue this is pathetic!

I wonder if the O's would be up for trading Bud Norris? He's a guy I really like that I think could do wonders working under Roger McDowell and everything else that would come with a move to the Braves.

[Millwood1Hitter]

I think this is some type of jinx that was spelled upon us when we were able to get 6 great weeks out of Ben Sheets.

The Braves have shown interest in Norris in the past, and I really wouldn't count anything out at this point.

What about Ricky Romero?

[The Chosen One]

Re-sign Jair Jurrjens. He's a FA, he's only 28. No downside if you offer him minimum.

He'd put up similar numbers to Garcia probably and could be passable.

[Tapate50]

WELL SH!T.

[jcc03004]

Are u serious Lockhart? It's not the worst idea

[cajunrevenge]

Its gonna be alright people. Put the noose down.
