ATLBrave Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I think it's time we make move and cut Proctor, put Lowe in the pen, and call up Minor or Teheran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedandBlack4Life! Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I think it's time we make move and cut Proctor, put Lowe in the pen, and call up Minor or Teheran.I'd be happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransack Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Braves just need the bite the bullet and pay the guy to NOT play here. He's wasting time better spent on a young pitcher who can actually contribute and will get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Dog Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Now the 8th worst ERA in the NL, 5th worst WHIP (1.48), barrel bottom with a .278 opp avg, 5th worst pitches per inning at over 17.... yet he's still a "solid" arm on a potential playoff team? Enough is enough, the team has no chance when he's on the mound. Can't imagine how the players feel knowing they're going to be put in an insurmountable hole in every outing he throws. Also can't imagine how amped up the other team gets knowing they get to face this guy. As we can all see, what's out there is NOT working. It is getting to a point where the struggle is unwatchable. Remember when the division was only 3 out of reach and the Wild Card was pretty much a lock?? Well... it's not like that now. Change has got to happen.

RedandBlack4Life! Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Interesting stat that DOB tweeted:@ajcbraves David O'Brien "In '10 Lowe was 2-7 w/ 4.68 ERA in 12 starts 6/29-8/29" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFalcon Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I think it's time we make move and cut Proctor, put Lowe in the pen, and call up Minor or Teheran.Kinda what they were saying on Braves Live last night after that dismal performance.

K26dp Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 But... but... "he just knows how to win"! Any plan that cuts Proctor is one I can get behind. Lowe pitching fewer innings would also be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyoshot Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 This is getting ridiculous. There's no reason Derek Lowe should be starting anymore. Frank Wren, you made a mistake. All executives do. Bite the bullet and get this guy off this team!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young mr. grace Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Lowe has pitched himself onto the Mississippi Braves roster with Kawakami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvt5045 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Time to see what the "big 4" are really made of. Lowe needs to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyoshot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I can't think of one logical reason why Lowe is starting now. The rookies cannot do much worse than what we saw in Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_ATL Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I mentioned this back when the bullpen started getting overworked and the younger guys were getting closer.Lowe should be placed in the pen and bring up either Minor, Delgado or Tehran to see what they got. It can't get any worse. When was the last time Lowe even had a quality start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't get any worse. When was the last time Lowe even had a quality start?June 29, at Seattle. Six innings pitched, one earned run allowed.His six starts since then his ERA has climbed from 4.16 to 4.86. His last start against Washington through has been the only one that he's really blown up.But yes, he's essentially a replacement level pitcher at this point.
