Evan Gattis on Intentional Talk
Your browser does not support iframes.
A few people have asked me what I think about his interview, and I don't have the words. He's an odd one, that's for sure. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) I do think it's cute that he gave his girlfriend a little shoutout, and while I'm sure some girlfriends would take offense at the context, surely she understands...
Beachy underwhelms in final scheduled rehab start
Exempting the friendly onlookers at his past five minor league rehab starts and the spring training visitors who perhaps caught a glimpse of the right-hander down at Walt Disney's Orlando resort, the last time Atlanta Braves fans watched Brandon Beachy throw a baseball was 362 days ago.
In an eventual 5-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, Beachy made it through 12 batters without...

Kris Medlen does not want to go to the bullpen
Kris Medlen does not want to head to the bullpen when Brandon Beachy comes off the disabled list. Medlen is the only member of the Braves rotation who has experience in the bullpen.
Many figured that the Braves would place Beachy in the rotation spot of Julio Teheran. That is far from certain with Teheran pitching better of late.
“I’ll let it be known that I don’t want to go...
Brandon Beachy’s rehab start – Gwinnett Braves vs Columbus Clippers 6-9-2013
Susan and I went to see Beachy's rehab start at the Gwinnett Braves last night. Pictures below, and just a few notes...
♡ Beachy looked pretty, ladies.
♡ His hair is still hilarious.
♡ His box score looked good: lots of strikes, lots of Ks. But the balls that were hit were hit pretty hard; I'm glad he had some good defense behind him. Watching his five innings...
