Open Thread 5/29: Braves @ DBacks

PrintJair Jurrjens goes against Jon Garland tonight and hopefully we can get to Garland early. There were rumors about us picking up Garland in the offseason but they never happened, thank God. He is sporting a 4.70 ERA with more walks than strike outs on the season (21:20 in 53 innings). Jair has been our best pitcher so far this season but I can't help but wonder when he is going to come back down to earth. His peripherals don't really support his ERA at this point. I'm not complaining and the kid is young and very good, but I get the feeling he has been a little lucky so far this season.
I don't even know what to say about the offense anymore. Most of the Braves have only faced Garland once (and none of the regulars have done well) but he is pretty terrible so maybe we can get something off of him. We need to get in here and take the last two games of this series. Right now we are a game under .500 and we are only 3.5 out of first place. If we can make a couple of pickups here soon it won't be too late to make a run. Lets just hope something is in the works.

Only logic I can offer is that maybe Bobby wants to get him comfortable in the lineup before he gets him comfortable in the leadoff slot

Before my beverage kicks in too much.....
I’d like to post and say how much I appreciate the Open Game Threads.
As someone who can’t offer up stats off the top of my head, know the ins/outs of the minor league teams and the nuances of the matchups each game…I appreciate a place I can come and experience the game with others across the country real time, as the game is happening.
I enjoy sharing the frustration when we’re doing poorly and celebrating with abandon on every RBI, HR, great defensive play and/or strikeout by our pitchers.
I don’t participate much in the fanposts and wouldn’t dare start one for fear of being carved up by the fans who know much more than I – so I appreciate this unique type of forum to enjoy the games.
Now….
the nahwal predictions are fun too

Jair
i am beginning to suspect that Jair is just a pitcher whose peripherals are always going to look worse then his hard data. Looking back at him with the tigers minor leagues neither scouts, nor stat heads were raving about him. He was a throw-in in the renteria trade and a back end of 100 lists at the time. Please note, i think he is not going to keep a 2.07 era, but he isn’t going to balloon up to the 4’s where his peripherals say he should be.
hindsight is 20-13 just like Ted William actual vision- ken tremendous
His FIP is actually 3.74, which is quite serviceable for a 3 in this day and age

Is it just me...
or does our line up seem much better with Yunel in it? With him up top we he have a very hard out, and it drops other hitters to slots they play better in
We can do more with the lineup with him in there. When you have someone like Diory, theres a lot less flexibility

Yeah
Think of it like a strip club. You can’t just walk in throwing $100’s at everyone every time they show a little skin, or make a comment. You make em work for it, a 1 here, a 5 there. Granted, the 1’s won’t get you noticed very often, sometimes flat-out ignored. By the same token, if you go around constantly giving 100’s, everyone gets used to it, to the point where you try to give a 5, and the stripper commenter is calling you a cheapskate and showing you the door.
"Ohhhh Shit."-Bobby Cox, 3/28/09
Hmmm, in contemplating the complexity of this reply….I’d have to conclude that we should save our +100s for those things we feel strongly about and toss in the usual +1s when it’s appropriate.
However, if I were to say, own a stripper pole – would it let me post +100 whenever I wanted?
Just askin’.
in theory, if you owned the pole, you would only be allowed to receive points.
Sidebar: I was once in a strip club for a bachelor party (Cheetah i believe), sat down at the bar. in a minute, an older guy comes up and tells me i’m in his seat. I was pretty drunk, and my only response was “you didn’t call seatback.” He then went on about how he comes there all the time (because he’s awesome). After jawing back and forth, the bartender takes his side, and i had to move. Thats what happens when you only give +1’s.
"Ohhhh Shit."-Bobby Cox, 3/28/09
I feel I’m at a definite disadvantage in this discussion because I’ve never been employed at or patronized a strip club. Hell, I’ve never even been to a Hooters. I’ve got the anatomy, but the savvy skills of bar seat negotiations are beyond my experience.
Thus, I’m gonna have to post my +1s. +100s in the future as the situations arise and suffer the consequences if need be.
I appreciate your attempts to help clarify and personal knowledge of establishments named after predator felines from Africa, but it may all just be beyond my comprehension.
Now I have a headache LOL
if predator felines from Africa give you headaches, you better not think about brightly colored equine.

I remember Moylan’s debut year. He was actually a 3/4 delivery guy, and sucked. In 2007 they said “go back to what brought you to the dance,” and he ended up posting like a 1.87 ERA. Looks like people are trying to change him again, with the same disastrous results.

Nice, Boog.

LOL I love Joe Simpson
Boog: “I wonder who’s doing the broadcast tomorrow on FOX”
Joe: “Probably nobody good”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I love Heap so goddamn much.
It is the total inverse of how I feel about FYF.

Garrett will not hit more than 10 HR’s this year

The problem is they pay him like 2.5+ million… I just don’t see it happening.

I just found out UGA DESTROYED Ohio St in the regionals.
Those fuckers can’t beat the SEC in anything.

Look at it this way – cut Francoeur, eat the $3.75MM, and bring in Brandon Jones for the pro-rated league minimum ($475k). At the end of the year when Bjones puts up the average numbers, it looks like $4MM went towards an average right fielder. That’s far better than saying you spent $3.75MM on the worst player in baseball.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Preach it, brother.
B Jones has shown 0 power thus far, but goddamn we know the guy can have a good at bat. That’s all I’m asking at this point.
by get swoll yunel on May 30, 2009 12:30 AM EDT up reply actions
He may have 0 power, but you’re going to have a hard time admitting that you’d still prefer to have Failcoeur over him.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
No dude, I am 100% on board.
I’ve been wanting to DFA/assign to the minors Failcouer for quite some time now… and B Jones will get on base, that much I know.
Hell, I was trying to talk myself into David Delluci (recently released) and Matt Murton (wasting away at AAA) over Failcouer.

GA would have glided to that and been in the dugout before the umpire could call him out.

I just imagine Anderson riding around on one of those hover-skateboards from Back to the Future 2
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Butterfly in the sky...
He can glide twice as high.
Take a look.
Give him the hook.
Garrett sucks balls!
think I’m gonna watch the 9th from bed, gotta be up in 6 hours for kids games tomorrow
night all

Holy shit at the mustache. Either his wife hates him/is blind, or he never gets laid.

He’s a ballplayer, with a $475 league minimum
he get laid

I love the logic
it used to be minimum wage times 100,000. If that were still the case, it would be like $625,000

What else? People arguing on the internet. Namely their facebook page that they pimp 34 times per half inning
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
They were talking about how much Failcouer sucks, and Boog pointed out how he saw a stat (on said site) that said FYF swung at the most first pitches last year (I believe that’s what happened, I’m a little drunk).
Boog is a fucking nerd.

Actually a really good curve that froze Schafer

They made it sound like Schafer was upset about it.

pretty nasty curve that looked like it caught some plate.

Still say Schaf needs to get some more ABs in the minors.
Can we have Janderson back, please?

Gonzo is always money in non-one run games, so I feel OK.
He’ll probably allow a double though.

Someone thought a picture I put up was hers on another website. I guess it’s because our “names” both start with L.
No se.

Ok, I was all confused ‘cause I went to Braves Love, since LT was the only person I told about it (but I know how Jo loves Coach), and saw where she credited you for it. But now I just read the comments, and I see where she said she incorrectly originally posted it as mine. If your email is on here, I can send you the original email I sent her clearly giving you all credit for it (and I mean in true journalistic form like I was taught in skool) – I def don’t want you going around thinking I would take credit for something that’s not mine. I got so upset about it I misspelled ’fucking" in my post above!
So sorry that got twisted like that.
No, no, no!!
I’m not mad at all! I just think it’s funny! She probably had a brainfart and wrote your name instead of mine. Don’t worry about it.

Tom Hallion is the fucking man.
Totally consistent zone.
Take notes, every other umpire out there.
by get swoll yunel on May 30, 2009 12:44 AM EDT reply actions
but UZR (or whatever) says he’s average!
I think ATJ is the biggest reason why I don’t totally trust the defensive metrics.

Chipper needs to manage the Braves after he retires.
I am 100% behind this.

He already sounds like the manager during this post-game.

He’s absolutely great. Plus, it would be like having an extra hitting coach!

LOL Andruw
Texted Chipper after his 4K game to welcome him to the club. Way to drop ballast on Chipper there.

Can we bring Andruw back? Texas doesn’t have much need for him…
