Jair Jurrjens: Strong and Efficient in 2nd Start for Atlanta Braves’ Triple A

Jair Jurrjens seems to be focused and determined to figure things out and make a positive impact on the Atlanta Braves soon.

Jair Jurrjens Strong in Debut for Atlanta Braves’ Triple A Team

While Tim Hudson made his debut today for the Atlanta Braves, Jair Jurrjens was simultaneously making his debut for the Braves’ Triple A team. This was only his fifth career start at the AAA level.

Demotion of Jair Jurrjens Leaves a Big Hole for the Atlanta Braves

Make no mistake, Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens wasn’t off to a great start in 2012.  In fact, he hadn’t really pitched all that well since the All-Star break in 2011.  But still, his demotion to AAA Gwinnett leaves a big hole in the Braves’ starting rotation that wont be easily filled by manager Fredi Gonzalez. Jurrjens – who was selected...

Jurrjens heads to AAA to rediscover form

The Atlanta Braves did the right thing sending Jair Jurrjens to the minors. His mind isnt in the right place, his velocity is waning and his confidence has deserted him. He needs time to fix whatevers wrong, because the Jurrjens that weve seen this year is not the Jurrjens weve seen in the past. Its incredible to think how far he has fallen since the first half of 2011, when Jurrjens...

Jair Jurrjens looks to regain magic

Jair Jurrjens liked the way he pitched in his last start. No, believe him. He really did. Forget the fact that he gave up seven hits and five runs in five-plus innings for the Braves against Milwaukee on Friday, Jurrjens was pleased. In the second, he gave up consecutive home runs to George Kottaras and former teammate Alex Gonzalez. And then in the sixth, pitching with an 8...

Braves being patient with struggling Jurrjens

There seems to be a lot of stuff floating around Jair Jurrjens brain right now. He seems to be worried about his injury-prone right knee, his mechanics, his wildness, maybe even when his name was on everybodys trade list this winter. Whatevers up there, its keeping him from focusing on the really important things, like opposing hitters. He mentioned his mind isnt where it should...
