Agreed. No reason to ruin his career and I doubt he would have been in the play-off mix anyway unless as a reliever.

Well, IF it is true, and his career is over, then obviously it's bad for the Braves and even worse for Beachy. You hate to see something like that for a guy who has been such a great story. That said, it is also possible that it isn't something truly serious. For instance, maybe the Braves medical people looked at the MRI and couldn't see any damage, but they want to be sure, so Beachy is going to see Andrews. Pretty hard to tell what it's really going to be from anything I've read online. Let's hope for the best - for the Braves, and especially for Beachy.

Other guys come back from TJS throwing harder. Our guy might end up needing more surgery which will put him out until 2015!!!! Man, enough is enough! This team does not deserve this crap right now.

Sweet. Could just be a follow up to see how everything looks.

Cheeses, I don't remember all the angst when Venters went under the knife pfor the second time. Did anyone say his career was over? Hopefully, like previously stated, it's just some scar tissue breakin' loose. And yeah, I know Venters is a reliever and Beachster is a starter.

Venters pitched longer (and in some ways, better) after his first TJS. Beachy has been back for only a few weeks and already experiencing a setback or two. I also hope it's just minor and common due to Beachy pitching more as a starter than a reliever but I can see the point of view by the Venters crowd.

If he is healthy, I hope the Braves FO disagrees.
Agree.
Surgeries are complicated. It could be something simple that can be easily fixed; or, as others have said, maybe they saw something and they're not sure what to make of it, so they're sending him to see his surgeon to get his opinion. We have a big enough lead that it's not going to crush us to skip a starter.

There's still 8 days.
I so wish we had picked up another starter so we wouldn't have rushed Beachy back.

I don't think you can say he was rushed. Especially not with the previous starts before this setback.
He certainly wasn't rushed like Wood.
Wood was just rushed extremely prematurely. I'm glad it paid off, but man it could've gotten really messy had it not.

There is no question he was rushed. He was scheduled for at least two or three more rehab starts before Hudson went down.

Yeah. Wood was rushed in a developmental way. Beachy being rushed is a health issue.

There isn't eight more days to keep the team from rushing Beachy, unless you want to include rushing him back from whatever his issue is this time.
