Cox has been ejected from 136 games..
Cox has been ejected from 136 games..
well for people that weren't watching the game he was pitching into a full count and threw what he thought was a strike and threw his arms up.. ump started to come towards him and Cox jumped outta the bullpen to take the heat.. after walking four and walking in three he pitched out of the inning but threw a lot of pitches.. he regained his composure and then proceeded to get some run support and came back to the mound pitching fairly well..
He came off the bump pitching 6innings over 100 pitches with 2h 3er 4bb 4k
I thought he has some potential.. not saying hes going to become an Ace overnight but just someone to look out for if your betting into him

What a fool. This kid is a potential future 2-3 starter if he can improve on his 3rd pitch breaking ball and/or develop a workable fourth pitch. He has one of the livest fastballs you'll see at about 91-93mph, a ton of lateral movement, and a great changeup that just dies in the strikezone.
He did have one clunker of an inning tonight in the third, but if you were watching the game you would have seen that he got hosed definitely on one, maybe two strikes that were called balls by tim "keyhole" mclellan with the smallest strike zone in the majors...oh and other than that ONE inning he was PERFECT. Two perfect innings to start the game and three perfect innings after that third. This kid is for real.
Let's not forget that he threw 40-something pitches in that third inning. Without that, he goes 8+ in this game, and the way he was throwing other than the 3rd he would have had a shutout.

He's the second best rookie starter in baseball up to this point.
1.26WHIP
2.3 K/BB
1HR allowed in 5 starts
3.20ERA
all before his start tonight, and he goes six, allowing 3 runs on 2 hits, and you're gonna send him back to the minors? oooookay
It wasn't the 3-2 which pissed off Jurrjens and the Braves. It was a few pitches prior when it was 0-2 and he threw a clear strike.
And its ridiculous these umpires can't act professional and feel the need wield their power. On the very next batter Jurrjens got screwed again on the 3-1 pitch.
he is a pitcher to back wagering as well his prices are very reasonable right now as people get to know him.
contrary to what the announcers would have you believe kox gettin thrown out did not help, as he still walked the next 3 batters. What they failed to mention was the ump clearly was fucking with the pitcher, why does mlb condone that behavior? how does anybody believe fans want to watch an ump. out of those four met batters not one of them even swung the bat, as evryone knew the ump would fuck the kid.

Rookie Jurrjens records 10th win

Philadelphia — With the trade deadline looming and general manager Frank Wren and his special assistant, Jim Fregosi, watching in person Friday, the Braves sent a resounding message up to the club level:
Buy.McCann launched two homers — a solo shot to give Jurrjens a one-run lead to work with and a grand slam off closer Brad Lidge to break it open in the ninth.
The Braves walked off 8-2 winners to snap a seven-game losing streak to the Phillies. Now 2-8 for the season against the Phillies, the Braves moved to 3-1 on this road trip.
"This is what we wanted to do," said Jeff Francoeur, one of five Braves with two hits. "We will take two out of three, but we want the sweep. It would be beautiful if we could win tomorrow and at least know we have at least a 4-2 road trip with a chance for 5-1."
Mike Hampton is scheduled to make his first start in almost three years today. It'll be no small task facing Cole Hamels, but there will be a buzz.
"I don't think there's any doubt that we'll be playing with a little extra emotion tomorrow, an extra edge, for him," Francoeur said. "I was talking to him tonight. I know he's nervous to go back out there tomorrow, but he's been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Hampton can only hope for the kind of offensive cushion the Braves got late Friday.
They pounded Lidge for a season-high five runs, chasing him without recording an out. Lidge, who had a 1.29 ERA, hadn't allowed more than one run in any of his previous 42 outings this season.
The home run he gave up to McCann was the first he has allowed all year.
"You come to a place like this, you don't have to hit them hard," said McCann, who was hitting cleanup with Chipper Jones out of the lineup.
McCann got his fifth career grand slam and fourth career multi-home run game. He also stole his third base of the season. McCann's 20 home runs is four shy of his career high in 2006.
His 19th home run in the fourth inning gave the Braves their first lead on the Phillies in 51 innings. The Braves hadn't led since July 6 when Kelly Johnson dropped a pop-up in the ninth inning.
Jurrjens made the 1-0 lead look good in a dangerous ballpark. He held the Phillies to three singles and a walk. He induced 11 ground-ball outs, the last of which he fielded himself, taking a smash off his glove and chest by Jayson Werth and scrambling to field the ricochet and throw to first for the out.
That finished off his night at 100 pitches, including 62 for strikes.
"I was trying to keep the ball down the whole time, with a small stadium and I know the ball flies here," said Jurrjens, now 10-5 with a 3.02 ERA.
"I was trying to run my changeup down and see if they can roll over it and get easy ground balls down."
Omar Infante, playing in place of Jones, made several nice plays at third base, and shortstop Yunel Escobar had an acrobatic double play from directly behind second base in the fifth.
Reliever Will Ohman lost the shutout on a two-out two-run homer by Ryan Howard in the ninth.
