Gagne Update....

[brewersfan19]

Gagne was quoted to say, "that he no longer should be the closer for the Brewers." He is admitting that he is struggling and foed not want to hurt the team. Yost has not yet made a decision, but with Gagne's comments he may not have a choice. Swallow the pride Yost and give Mota, Torres, and/or Riske a shot at closing games.

They better listen to him too.

Here's more of that article.


Eric Gagne no longer wants to be called the Brewers’ closer. He’s pitching his way out of that role, anyway. The former NL Cy Young Award winner gave up a two-run single with two outs in the ninth inning to Ryan Ludwick, and St. Louis held on for a 5-3 victory over Milwaukee on Saturday that snapped a season-long three-game skid.
“I don’t deserve that ninth inning right now. It’s pretty simple,” Gagne said.
The beleaguered reliever was slumped in his locker room chair with his eyes closed for several minutes before putting his hands on his head. After a clubhouse official asked if he wanted to talk, he told reporters he doesn’t need a “mental break” like Cardinals counterpart Jason Isringhausen asked for on Friday night.
“I don’t need breaks. I need to keep going out there. I need results,” said Gagne, who has a major league-leading five blown saves along with Isringhausen. “I get myself in a situation, in a jam, every single time I’m out there. You can’t pitch like that.”

Yost said it will be by committee, but all the managers seem to say that at first.

[brewersfan19]

I truly believe it will be closer by committee until there is a clear cut canidate.

Test the waters with the remaining guys.

[brewersfan19]

I like that idea. you like testing the waters?

[Hardy Blonde]

Only when it looks like it could work.

[brewersfan19]

lets get to work then....

[Hardy Blonde]

Gagne has been dropped as the Brewers closer.

Happy days are here again!!!!

[brewersfan19]

They will use him again. They are just allowing him to work out the kinks.

[Hardy Blonde]

I don't give a crap. Point is he's out for a while.

[brewersfan19]

I just read on brweers.com that he is ready again to be the guy in the 9th.. Yost said it is still by committee for awhile. Gagne just said he is ready when Yost is.



Did a miracle happen over night?

[brewersfan19]

Gagne is pitching right now as I posted the last post. He is 3-1 on the first batter. Prove it to the Brewers and the fans you are ready for the 9th.

[Hardy Blonde]

Lmao omg NO! I hope not. I like him right where he is now.
