Other games 6/2

[Keener98]

Milw down big to Florida 10-1 in the 7th. Parra had a great outing 4ip 11 hits 10 runs. Can we please stop acting like Parra is anything special? Brewer fans love to hype the guy, but quite frankly, he sucks so far as a ML pitcher.

 

Stl down 2-1 in the 5th vs Cincy.

[Ball And Glove]

Parra's got good stuff, but the control is seriously lacking. He struck out the side in the first inning before completely melting down after serving up a HR to Uggla in the second, and Macha wasn't about to bail him out tonight until he got to 100 pitches because Milwaukee's bullpen is already overworked.

 

His control has always kinda stunk...even in the minors his walk rates weren't very good. This year, though, things have gone to hell...I believe he was second in the majors in walks allowed to Daniel Cabrera until Cabrera got cut loose by the freaking Nationals. The good stuff/poor control thing kind of reminds me of Jorge de la Rosa...the Brewers eventually gave up on him. Parra at least has options left, but the future isn't looking too bright.
