It's May 2 and Bradish is on the mound. It's pretty surreal if you think about. Most people thought that it was wildly optimistic to see him before the All-Star Break.

Gameday today folks

[Roy Firestone]

Wow..what a start first batter

[Surhoffan17]

Nice start! 

[dtk9119]

Bradish looks great first batter. Keep it going.

[Surhoffan17]

Does everyone think about 80 pitch cap for Bradish? 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Excellent start!  Great to have him back  

[Roy Firestone]

so far so good-Bradish...a win in this game is Bradish coming out healthy and gets his work in...I dont expect much...

[potota_bread]

That slider is a thing of beauty. I missed seeing it

[Mooreisbetter27]

Wait, wtf.. catcher interference?

Actually that was never my concern.   He was going to try to rehab the sprain and pitch with it.   My concern was, and still is, that at some point after returning he will aggravate the UCL, have to have Tommy John surgery, and effectively be out of the picture until 2026.

wtf is happening my sound isn't working

[dtk9119]

Good grief... seriously?

[SteveA]

CI and a HBP for his first two baserunners, geez.
