Dude is hurt. Seems to not have said anything and is gutting it out or changed his delivery to accommodate the injury.

Yep. That pretty much covers it.
He hasn't been the same since he took that line drive off the knee. He was pitching like a 1 hit 6 inning shut out before that happened and has imploded since.
Jeff Wren with an apparent shot accross the bow at Roger McDowell. His twitter feed is pretty comical. Guy is oozing with bitterness.

From scouting perspective #Braves Teheran struggles while reducing usage of 4 Seam FB and continued Velo drop of ALL off-speed pitches.
@MLBGrapevine
Recent #Braves young pitchers Jurrjens, Hanson, Medlen, also all had FB regression and reduced off-speed separation. Definition of Insanity
Fredi ruined another pitcher, ran him into the ground. It was stupid keeping him in that game against the Mets when he hurt his knee at that junction of the game, and it even looks dumber in hindsight. Absolutely mind blowing, I tell ya. The way Julio looks lately I'm not so sure we aren't on the same path that another talented young pitcher here had in JJ? You don't treat your "young" ace of the future and risk his future to get 1 or 2 more outs. DUMB DUMB DUMB.

What needs to happen, is the Teheran skips his next start, rests a bit and someone else comes up to take over a few starts.
It can't be worth than what he's giving us now. If he's hurt, then this helps. If he's not, then it'll give him rest.
If Fredi doesn't do this, he needs to be immediately fired. Seriously.
Is Jeff Wren related to Frank Wren?
All of his pitch values have been a negative this year but his 4 seam FB is the same as it was last year 91.3 vs 91.1. His 2 seamer he is actually throwing harder this year compared to last (89.3 v 88.5)
His slider is at 78.9 vs 81.3 last year
Curve is at 72.8 vs 73.3 last year
Change-up is at 80.5 vs 81.5 last year

6.0, 1 run
6.0, 3 runs (Hurt in 7th, when they scored all 3 runs - Teheran was allowed to face five batters after injury without an out)
5.0, 5 runs
4.1, 4 runs
5.2, 7 runs
Since getting hit in the knee (counting five batters after knee in 2nd game) = 15 innings, 19 runs.
Anyone who tries to blame it on anything other than an injury needs to think about those numbers.
