Very audible yell from the crowd. "Upton got on base!"

Was that you?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Was that you?

Nope.

 

[Heyward]

Doumit just missed a HR.

 

[Heyward]

3 scoreless for Beachy.

Glad to see that. At this point, I think the main thing for him is to regain confidence.

 

[nsacpi]

Ian Thomas now pitching for us. Hard not to root for this guy.

Great step for Beachy today. If he ever gets back to his pre-surgery level this team would be sccary good.

 

[nsacpi]

A lot of people have forgotten how good Beachy was before he got hurt. He was our best starting pitcher.

 

[nsacpi]

Thomas escapes a bit of a jam in the fourth inning but gives up a run.

Beachy plays second base and center field now?

 

[Heyward]

CJ hit a rocket but went to JRoll and FF got doubled off 2nd.

Uggla won't be our second baseman in May.

One scout said #Braves Beachy FB was 87-90 in 1st 2 innings, 85-86 in 3rd.

That is......not good

CJ absolutely smoked that ball too.

Okay.

I, for one, am not forgetting: I'm just skeptical he'll be able to produce anything approaching that level of performance after watching his return late last season.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

La Stella strikes out with 2 on and no out.

 

[Heyward]

Impressed by Shae Simmons, could be a potential bullpen piece in 2015.

He won't survive the rotation. This sucks. He was my favorite young pitcher.
