9/5/2008: Padres (Geer) at Brewers (Sabathia), 7:05pm CDT

Gagne time. That means it's time for me to turn the game off and then yell obscenities when I turn it back on.

[steve267268]

All he has to do is get three outs without giving up a run and Torres can come in and end our four days of misery.

Oh, that's all?

[Mike Felder]

As the Potawatomi guy says, "This is about to get interesting."

[sargennm]

Six pitches, two ground outs, meat of the order. Please let's see the same from eric.

[biedergb]

Our offense (and it is beginning to become offensive) has made 6 outs in a mere 16 pitches the past two innings.

That is less than 3 pitches per out. That's awful.

[trwi7]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[ELCABALLO45]

Yost should be fired for keep sending Gagne out there.

[thablingster]

Well, that didn't take long now did it.

 

Ah, the allure of the hold and the save. It drives all managers to insanity.

[sheethead]

Yosted!

[ELCABALLO45]

You can tell how angry Anderson sounds at Yost right now.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

9-3 game? Throw him a full 9!

7-0 game? Throw him a full 9!

9-1 game? Throw him a full 9!

 

Up 2-1 in the midst of potentially horrific losing streak? Let Gagne protect the 1 run lead. oops, I mean, give up the lead.

 

Yost should be fired. Tonight.

[trwi7]

GET HIS ASS OUT NED!!!!!!!!

 

You can go with him after the season (hopefully before)

[thablingster]

Torres, not Shouse Ned. Please. The Cubs are getting hammered, Phillies already won. How many opportunities can we really afford to blow here?

[Mike Felder]

At this point, I'd much rather see a September callup in the 8th inning over Gagne.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Ned Yost should be fired. Immediately. I mean, between innings. How can you keep Sabathia in a game up 9-1, but pull him tonight?

 

How?

[thablingster]

David Riske is up in the bullpen? Are you kidding me. I'd rather leave Gagné on the mound. Just sayin'.

[sheethead]

This is crazy! It's like groundhog day. Yost just keeps doing it over and over and over and over...

[steve267268]

This is just ridiculous.. how is he that bad? he can throw 95 and his changeup is still great.. i just don't get it..

[PeaveyFury]

Ned's blinding incompetence is no longer excusable. Unfreakingbelievable.

[brewerjamie15]

I must admit Gagne's impressing me. Two pitches. 1 home run, 1 double.

 

At least he's throwing strikes?

[ELCABALLO45]

Im not kidding, how hard headed does Yost have to be? Seriously? The guy has a ERA of 6.61? And he keeps sending him out there?

[trwi7]

I can't believe he's still in the game.

[wibadgers23]

Gagne flat out stole $10 million this year. Unfreakinbelievable.

[biedergb]

Im not kidding, how hard headed does Yost have to be? Seriously? The guy has a ERA of 6.61? And he keeps sending him out there?

 

Well, sure but if you throw out a few bad outings and his ERA is OK. And by a few I mean like all but one or two. (Yes that's supposed to be in blue, but I'm too upset to bother).
