You're allowed to over react..that to me is being a good fan..And the Riske picture says it all...
I think your suggestion is the eventual answer if Gagne continues to serve up homeruns..
It seems like he's still transitioning from a powerful, super human closer into the new and Earth bound Eric Gagne...He looked good last night for an entire inning, but the one pitch...
According to Gagne, he should have never thrown a fast ball to Patterson..
Anyway, I hope he learns alot from Kendall who apparently knows hitters tendencies and all that....and I hope he learns from Riske who strikes people out....gets people out without a 95 mph fastball..
Gagne looked nothing like he did on opening day in Chi last night...he was dominant and confident and just missed his spot -- Patterson guessed right and barely hit it out.
That might be the first homer I've seen that would have been an out without the MB Field Haus.
I think it is time Gagne gets a new song though...Welcome to the Jungle isn't doing it for me.
you guys don't have hgh in wisconsin? come on!
I'm not against him being a closer...its foolish to jump to that point so soon - but at some point you have to consistently be able to get through an entire inning. I'm already getting tired of the "he threw one bad pitch" type of talk.
Don't care - don't throw the bad pitch.
I have no idea when that point of moving Gagne from the closer role will be...but he needs to start showing some consistency - $10 million contract or not.
Let's play hypothetical...
Say instead of the Brewers signing Gagne to a one-year, $10 million deal, they had indeed signed Cordero to the 4-year, $42 million deal they had offered Coco.
Coco comes out in the first game at Wrigley and gives up a tying 3-run HR to Fukudome in the 9th and blows the save (Brewers still win though). 8 days later, during which he saves one other game, he gives up a tying HR in the bottom of the 9th against the Reds (Brewers still win).
What would you be thinking at that point?
At that point, I'd be really upset that we spent $42 million on a closer. In fact, if we had spent $42 million on a closer, I'd have been really upset long before that point. That's simply too much to pay at a position where everyone but the eventual Hall of Fame types only have 3-5 top-notch seasons before they collapse.
But I'm also upset that we're depositing $10 million into the bank account of a guy who is anything but a sure-thing.
