Kyle Davies: What the?

Coming back from injury especially a groin injury is rough stuff. Kyle Davies missed over three months of baseball in this case. He made his rehab starts and returned to Atlanta this past Saturday to take the mound. His outing was less than stellar. He returned to the mound yesterday against the Mets. Kyle continued his struggles going 5 innings giving up 6 runs on 7 hits with 4 walks and 5 K's. Davies threw 103 pitches and only 58 were strikes. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt right now. One thing I have noticed is that when he gets down he tends to lose control and not make smart pitches. You can get in alot of trouble that way but this is all apart of "growing" up as a pitcher, learning how to pitch out of jams. After last year's amazing debut some Braves fans expected the success to pick right up. Most of the time that isn't the case. So, give this guy some time he'll bounce back.
