Ball game folks. hahahahah THE PITCHER gets an RBI single off of you when you need to lock down an get an out. This is the JJ people should expect to see not the lucky one from the first few starts. The Braves better pray that Minor gets better and that Ben Sheets stays healthy and is forreal because JJ will struggle this year just like he did in AAA…

Joe: “That means Buster Posey’s gonna have to go back behind the plate, and the Giants only carry two catchers…”
Ohmagosh!! WHAT?? Oh, this is terrible! Are they gonna be OK? I mean, NO team only carries two catchers!!…

Great game Braves, great game JJ, games over and it’s not even the 5th inning, way to show up ready to pitch today JJ. Gotta feeling this is gonna be the JJ will see a lot more of the last half of the season. His advanced stats show he was VERY lucky his first few starts and he still throws quite a few 87 mph fastballs right down the middle of the plate and unless your RA Dickey that won’t cut it in the majors.

Jurjjens is throwing BP. I think we lead the league in starting pitchers who can’t reach 90. And JJ’s command is awful.

It wasn’t those arrow straight 86 mph fastballs down the middle, or hanging breaking balls…it was the defensive problems and missed calls. Yeah, that’s it.

Let him get smacked around for 7 innings and leave him out there so the fans can let them know what they think about him. He had no location and no velocity on his stuff today it’s obvious he didn’t come ready to do his job tonight at all. Great way to start off a tough series JJ…
I’d let him eat innings and take one for the team so we don’t have to waste our BP’s arms. Don’t mind if JJ’s arm is tired after tonight since this games already a loss because of him. No sense in having a few of the bullpen guys tire themselves out because JJ didn’t come ready to do his job….
