I hate Derek Lowe

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.

Yeah, the Colorado start was good too, they just killed him with bloop hits in the 6th inning or so and ended up getting 4 runs off him and the reliever that came in.

A replacement level pitcher making 15 mil a year..... Time to cut our loses on that one.

Please get Lowe and Proctor off the team ASAP! If we were the Yankees, Red Sox or Phillies were winning mattered to the ownership they would have been gone a long time ago. 3 starts in a row now for Lowe where he hasn't made it past the 5th inning. Horrible! Teheran or Minor could do no worse. At this point I don't think Kawakami could do worse.

Kawakami definitely would do worse.

The other day when Lowe was getting shelled I texted my brother, "I'm ready for Lowe to not be a Brave anymore." It kinda sucks that our weakest link in the rotation is also our highest paid player. (If I'm not mistaken.) I believe the guy is getting paid 15 mil this year and and his ERA is pushing up near the 5.00 mark. It's not there yet but a few more outings like the one the other day, (God forbid), and he'll be over it. I wonder if anyone will still be willing to sign him next year. That'll be interesting to see.

I was listening Chuck and Chernoff this afternoon and I swear I heard them say that Lowe had another year left on his contract. I thought we were rid of him after this year. Please say I'm right about that and I just misheard something they said.
