Eric Gagne Sucks

by Anthony Amobi

Well, when one knows when to fold ‘em — they have to fold ‘em. Apparently, Brewers relief pitcher, Eric Gagne, knows that he sucks.

According the AP, the team yanked Eric Gagne from the closer’s role after the reliever called his latest performance embarrassing and said he didn’t feel he deserved to pitch the ninth inning anymore. Manager Ned Yost said he read Gagne’s comments and will use a closer by committee approach while Gagne takes what Yost called a “mental break.” Gagne said after the Brewers’ 5-3 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night that he wanted to keep pushing through but didn’t deserve to close.

Ugh.
