Book is closed on Jurrjens.
5+ innings. 5 runs (all earned) on 7 hits and 2 walks. Only one strikeout. 2 home runs, both to Rick Ankiel.
Braves were 7-0 in the last 7 games Jurrjens started before tonight.
If this score holds, Jurrjens would be 0-1 wth a 6.20 ERA in four starts since the All-Star break.
Jurrjens has now allowed 11 earned runs in his last 10 innings against the Nationals.
but you're point is well taken
gotta change something up
wow, maybe some patience could help
maybe make the opposing pitcher throw your pitch

Just got in. Nats scored 5 runs. What happened to JJ?
Looks like he’s been inconsistent since the all-star break. I was hoping our starting pitching is back to 1st half form after Beachy and Hudson’s performance.
Two home runs to Ankiel. RBI hit to Livan with 2 outs. He pretty much blows right now.

If I had to realistically guess without looking at the stat, I’d say 75%-80% of our HR’s have been solo.

Gonzo shouldn't have been allowed to end the game
with Chipper and Hinske on the bench.

Plays good D

Lots of shitty luck tonight.
Prado’s near miss HR then line-out DP, Ankiel going off, etc.
JJ’s struggles are concerning though.

He really isn’t down in the zone anymore and missing location often. JJ was due for regression but he isn’t even being the solid pitcher he should be atm.
Thus the dingers.
