Scoring changes credits Zimmerman with infield hit and then taking second on McCann throwing error.
Yeah, THAT makes total sense…

So does walking the leadoff hitters in innings and relying on DP’s
This is a complete 180 of the Double J we saw up til July 10th

How the hell did Jurrjens even win more 12 games with the stuff he has?
He is worse than Lowe

Jurrjens has become difficult to watch since the all-star break. Always in trouble and always trying to find his command.

“Not neccesarily a proffesional face painting”… Tom Glavine. Was it a proffesiional face painting that he had when he accepted J. Schureholtz’s offer and then turned around and became a MET?

Top 5 worst Braves hitters (Recent):
1. Corky Miller
2. Chris Woodward
3. Reggie Sanders
4. Raul Mondesi
5. Alex Gonzalez
I thought Vinny Castilla was good enough for #4, but after looking at the numbers he was decent. Seemed like he was much worse.

Get over the glavine defection yrs ago…please.
JJ just isn’t healthy with that bum knee…
I don’t actually believe that, but since it’s got to be the shoulder for Heyward, why not blame JJ’s knee.

seeing those names brings back nightmares of past seasons. Especially 2008 with Miller and 2007 with Woodward. Those seasons were exercises in mediocrity while Sanders, Mondesi, and Gonzo played on teams that eventually made the playoffs.

Long term – JJ or Hanson? I like JJ better even with his 2nd half struggles and his injury sheet. Hanson’s pitching style has me worried. His velocity, even more than JJ’s, would worry me more. JJ can control his offspeed stuff okay while Hanson doesn’t yet have a real good slider and his curveball gets laid off more than jobs around the country. Not a huge Hanson fan anyways.

True, but I believe Mondesi was released mid-season if memory serves correct. The Brian Jordan/Raul Mondesi experiment sputtered quickly that year.

Giving up a leadoff double to Hernandez is probably going to be a bad thing. Especially after the Braves squandered a good chance to score in the previous inning.
