GDT: 7-29-13 Rockies at Braves, Feeling a little Beachy.

I'm not real worried. Like I said, this is a tough lineup to pitch against when you've been out of MLB for over a year because of injury. What I wanted to see tonight is how hard he is throwing. Happy to see his velocity in the 90-92 range. Big thing is how he feels after the game and tomorrow. If he feels good, that is going to be more important than the results tonight.

Agreed
 
I just don't see how anybody says he isn't ready. This is expected his first game back. I'm actually liking the fact that his velocity is decent and has been getting a few K's. Every outing he will continue to get sharper.
 
It's nice to be up 8+ games and be able to almost play this as a spring game. Not saying they're not trying to win...but this just felt like a "lets see how Brandon feels" type of game.
 
Heyward has really been driving some pitches authoritatively in recent games.
