Hernandez vs Jurrjens 7:10 PM ET



Seems like it's been a yr and a day since we have seen the Braves play, with the 2 games over the weekend PPD and off day today.

Jurrjens needs a good outing against Washington. He gave up 6 runs against them during his previous meeting against them.

Lead off solo HR in the 2nd for Morse, 1-0 Nats

Nice spot for Heyward to drive in some runs and get things going.

1 out sac fly for Heyward with bases loaded, scores Uggla. 1-1

Alex had the best opportunity to score us more than 1 run, but he is just awful at the plate.

Just 1, that kinda stinks but its a long game.

2 out error on Mac of Zimmerman swinging bunt, allows Zimmerman to get to 2b, RBI dbl for Morse. 2-1 Nats

I know that 2nd run was Unearned, but the double to Morse just irritates me. I swear I hate this feeling, but I am losing so much confidence in JJ since the AS Break. I start to look at the AJC online to see if I see something about him being skipped over when his time to pitch comes up. I just get a really bad feeling when he is pitching for us. And I hate that feeling because I really like him.

I have no idea what will happen in the off season. You know Boras will put a number out there based on JJ's 1st half numbers and it will be no where near what Frank Wren will consider. Question is, will Wren get near a number JJ considers or will we let him walk and take the Compensatory pick.

3 run HR for Washington. 5-1 now.

3 run HR to CF for Zimmerman, 5-1 Nats


Martinez up in the pen. Jurrjens struggling with the breaking ball all night.

Jurrjens has allowed 16 runs in 16 IP in 3 starts vs Nats since All Star break.

F'ing A ! Fredi sends JJ out for the 6th, Espinosa sends on deep to RCF, another breaking ball that didn't break. 6-1 Nats

JJ just needs to sit for the rest of the regular season. We cannot afford to pitch him and just give games away.

I'm concerned about a number of our free agents. Boras is always a concern and he represents many of our players. I feel positive that JJ will return.

9-1 Nats

RBI single for Heyward, 9-2 Nats

Well, I hope Derek Lowe pitches good tomorrow, and actually gets some run support.
