2011-06-17 Brewers (Marcum) at Red Sox (Lackey) - [Brewers lose, 10-4]

[ilovebeer]

Could some one please tell me why we sent down a good pitcher and brought up this guy?

[jeffy]

I think I'd rather have that tardy guy.

[pebadger]

It's hard to beleive that anyone thought Herrera was a good idea in any way, unless they knew a while ago that they might be making a move with Braddock. Even then, you still have to think it's a bad move.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Its embarrassing that a first place team runs a guy like this out there in a close game.......

Yep, but sadly he was our best option here. Only because Braddock isn't on the roster. Can't say Dillard would've done any better in this spot.

[bucksman4]

He's not a full inning pitcher Ron! Situational LHP!

[markedman5]

Because the good pitcher wasn't living up to his responbilities by showing up on time and doing his work......

 

You couldn't get away with it in your job why would you think the brewers would allow it?

 

The sad part is that we have nobody better to replace him with until he gets his act together.

I think that summarizes it pretty darn well.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Does Logan Int'l. have a red-eye to Nashville? Herrera better hope not.

[PrinceEatMeat]

He sucks against everyone, but then gets Gonzalez to GIDP. Go figure.

[pebadger]

The sad part is that this is what baseball is nowdays except for the big money teams that can really afford to stock a roster. It's sort of always been that way, it's just worse now. That said, McClendon has to be a better option, no matter what arm he pitches with.

[umphrey]

meh just like Carlos Gomez and Mark Kotsay, Herrera is forced into the lineup and he and Roenicke get a bunch of hate as if they gave him a huge contract and designated him their guy. Braddock, Parra, Saito are the guys we wanted to pitch I'm sure.

[bucksman4]

The bottom of our order is useless. 3 weak groundouts.

 

The Sox lineup is in another stratosphere compared to ours.

[jason21nl]

are we giving up on this game by not taking him out?

[PrinceEatMeat]

Really wish Parra and/or Stetter weren't hurt right now.

[bucksman4]

Herrera reminds me of someone...oh yeah, a high school freshman who throws an 80 mph fastball.

[chickinbrickin]

are we giving up on this game by not taking him out?

 

I would. This game is over. Might as well justsave the bullpen for the weekend.

[mastershake76]

I am beginning to think that this Daniel Herrera fellow might not really be all that good.

[chuckcrim]

Herrera has no business being anywhere near a major league clubhouse unless he's cooking the pregame meal.

[PrinceEatMeat]

JC Romero, who was just DFA'd by the Phillies, is a far better option than Herrera.

[jason21nl]

I think he has thrown his last ball in a Brewers uni

[mastershake76]

I think he has thrown his last ball in a Brewers uni

I remember saying that about Derrick Turnbow. About 17 times.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I think he has thrown his last ball in a Brewers uni

Yeah, McClendon is already on a plane to Boston.

[FVBrewerFan]

Can't confirm the rumor, but I heard Melvin thought waiver wire said Higuera...not Herrera.

[crossface21]

He's $%$+% awful. He'd be good on the Astro's, but not on a 1st place team.

[jjkoestler]

This game just doesn't seem fair. The Sox are so loaded with talent.
