JJ is worse than Lowe right now. We would be better off just getting him off the team even if we get nothing in return. We give ourselves zero chance 1 out of every 5 games. Not going to make the playoffs doing that. Hell we probably make the playoffs last year if we would have just quit pitching Lowe the final month.

No way do you platoon your 6 time All Star catcher because the backup has a good game against a lefty.
That makes no sense. Ross is good BECAUSE he only plays 1 day a week.

SS is the only weak position offensively.
If Juan can lock down the 3b platoon, like he already should have, and if Prado is in LF for 155 games, like he should be, then we are solid everywhere else.
Pastornicky may still be serviceable. It’s too early to call him a lost cause.

I said the whole game that there is something seriously wrong with JJ tonight. He needed to throw a decent game, and he took a huge step backwards, IMO. There is something wrong. He is not finishing his pitches. I would think it has to be physical, not mechanical.

Fredi listen to Chipper damn it…
“It would be nice, but it’s not going to hurt my feelings [if I don't],” Jones said. “The good thing about having Juan [Francisco] is he’s provided us some power and some offense. It’s not a necessity that I be in there. So I can take my time whenever I am not feeling good.”

I never paid any attention to BC’s post game quotes. He didn’t throw his players under the bus. I don’t have an issue with Fredi doing the same.

I wish there was some video of Jurrjens before the All Star game last year and now.
With the Dodger announcer saying he thought he looked different, why are we not hearing that from the Braves org? Or is he just mistaken, and Jurrjens is extending just like he was last year.
The guys said it looked like he was standing up straight after his release. I wasn’t watching, so I really don’t know.

Geesh, what a dismal effort from JJ. The guy doesn’t even look like the same pitcher who dominated early on last season. Jurrjens stuff is straight, up in in the zone and way to hittable. Then combined with all those bloop hits the Dodgers were dropping over our infield didn’t allow JJ any luck at all.
David Ross was just about the only bright spot although Freeman looks like he’s swinging at beach balls. Fredi is locked in at the moment. Uggla once again reminded me of why he belongs in LF, dude can swing the stick but he ate a couple of ground balls tonight.
That said, the use of Livan Hernandez as our long man is looking like a smart move on the part of Frank Wren. The Cuban is eating some much needed innings, and the key moment in this ball game was when Jason Heyward struck out with the bases loaded in the first inning. Letting Capuano off the hook.
Better luck tomorrow, maybe Chipper can actually give it a go too!
