If there was 1 out, it might be more defensible. At least if he Ks the inning is still alive. It's also defensible if Herrera looked like he had EVER swung a bat in his life. Seeing him actually go up there proves to me he had almost 0% chance of getting a hit.
Herrera is a good pitcher. But he's not Davis or Holland. Burning him for a PH isn't like you screw the pooch or that you don't have other options.
