Atlanta Braves P Kyle Davies is taking a lot of heat after a poor performance yesterday that saw him face just five batters, giving up three walks, two singles and two runs in the process. Says Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal Constituion, "Two years ago, Davies was the future. Now he’s a head case. In 2005, he was one of three area products who saved a battered roster (along with Jeff Francoeur and Brian McCann). He went 7-6 in 14 starts."

"But," adds Schultz, "last season, he suffered a torn groin. This season, the injury is to the north. How else does one explain holding San Diego to a run on four hits in six innings last week, and then looking like a broken-down Len Barker the next? No Braves starter had suffered the humiliation of being pulled before recording an out — for reason other than injury — since Barker. That was 22 years ago." Any shot Davies will get it turned around?

I saw that he came out last night...I assumed that he got hurt...How did they get someone warmed up so fast?
