Oh No Jo-Jo
May 3, 2008 – 4:47 pmWell, I figured it would happen sooner or later this season, but this was a little sooner than I thought. Jo-Jo Reyes is back in Atlanta from Richmond. Now I’ve made no attempts at hiding my feelings about Jo-Jo in the past, but I am not completely unreasonable. I will give him three starts before completely passing judgment this time around, but if I don’t approve of at least two of those starts, I will be right back to my old school of thought on him.
True to his usual form, Jo-Jo has been unstoppable in Richmond thus far this season. He has the second lowest ERA in the International League at 1.17. Reyes has given up 3 runs in 23 innings across 5 starts. Control is where he has lacked in the majors, throwing high numbers of walks, however, in Richmond, he has only walked 8 while striking out 25. We’ll see how he looks in Atlanta this time around, but making it deep into the game has always been a weak point for him.
Jo-Jo makes his first big league start of the season tonight against the Cincinatti Reds. It’ll be hard to match Tim Hudson’s complete game, three-hit shutout from last night, but I’d love to see him try. The Braves look to extend their home record to 10-4 tonight. We’ve been struggling on the road, so we need to get the wins where we can. Let’s see if we can get another win streak started this evening.

Settled into my seat waiting for Jo-Jo to take the mound. About 10 minutes to game time.
