Jair Jurrjens vs Bronson Arroyo

Partly cloudy,rain. Winds blowing in from right field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 85.

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2010 - Bronson Arroyo 10-6 4.21 1.18 68 46



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2010 - Jair Jurrjens 3-3 4.37 1.26 41 23


 

It's been a typical up-and-down Goodroyo/Badroyo month for Bronson.  After starting the month with 21 innings of 3-run baseball, he was tagged for 7 runs in 5.2 innings by the Nationals.  He then came back in his last start and pitched a 3-run 8-inning complete game.  He's also earned a decision in his past 8 starts, so that's kinda useless.  He's started 11 games against the Braves in his career and given up 14 homers.  /tugs collar.

Jair Jurrjens is quite a bit like the Reds' starter of yesterday evening, Johnny Cueto.  They are both 24 and in their 3rd year in the bigs, their first names both start with J, and they have similar BB and K rates.  So why is Jurrjens career ERA about a run better?  Home runs.  Jurrjens' HR/FB is a mere 6.9%, while Johnny's is 11%.  I think as Johnny's gopheritis clears up, as it has this year, we could have a nice 4 WAR pitcher on our hands, like Jurrjens has been the past few years. Jurrjens won't reach those heights this year though as he sat out May and June with a hamstring injury.

It's a big day down at the ol' ball orchard today as the trade deadline runs right up to game time.  It'll be another packed house this afternoon as Homer Bailey bobbleheads will be plentiful and cheap.  There's a slight chance of rain this evening, though it looks like it's heading north here to Columbus and shouldn't stop the Reds from woodshedding the Braves.  They so totally deserve it.

IIRC, the July 31st deadline is the final time a player may be traded without being exposed to the waiver process.

From Aug. 1st onward, players can be traded, but first must pass through waivers without being claimed. These waivers are revocable, though, so if someone claims your player you can either let the new team take over his contract immediately and obtain the player (possibly with an expensive contract to match), or you can pull the player off waivers and construct a trade with the team that claimed him. If you don’t trade the player to the team that claimed him, you can’t trade the player. Sometimes teams will claim players so that their opponents cannot claim them to use against them. Years ago, the Padres claimed Randy Myers IIRC just so that the Braves couldn’t use Randy against them in the playoffs. But Randy was actually injured, and the Padres ended up unnecessarily on the hook for the remainder of Myers’ contract.

The preview just doesn't give much insight into what the movie is about.

Once you get past the assumptions the movie presents and understand that everything that happens can actually happen (in the movie), it’s pretty cool. There are some holes, like every movie, but it’s cool.

Like, not even minor league moves? Is it really, truly possible that we are that satisfied with our entire organization? We have way too many desirable pieces for nobody to have at least tried to get a player from us, so its not like we had to initiate every conversation.

I just find it hard to believe that the trade deadline will come and go and we will not have a single player exiitng the organization.

I stand corrected.

In his last 10 games, he’s had 2 hits (2-30). He might have had a couple in the games previous to that, reaching base safely a total of three times during that span.

He can add a big 0-4 today also.

What, me? Being negative? No. Never.

Bottom of the order coming up for Atlana.

I like our chances. It’s still never over with Coco on the mound, though.

Olney says the Reds were losers on TV while ESPN's website says

It just doesn’t appear that the Reds were “losers” on deadline day, since paying the premiums on relievers often works against clubs down the road.

Not to mention that most of the bullpen has been pretty damn good recently.

The ‘pen right now: Ondrusek, Rhodes, Smith, Masset, Bray, Fisher, and Cordero. Who would they get in trade that would be an upgrade? Especially considering Chapman will likely be taking Fisher’s spot sometime in the near future (barring unforseen circumstances). An outfield bat would likely have helped, but there weren’t many to be had.
