How many times do we let these guys pitch before they are done? Turnblow cost us the game tonight, he has a sexy ERA at 9.5. Gagne gave up back to back HRs the other day too. I'm no die-hard Brewers fan but come on, this is just sad.

Meanwhile...
Francisco Cordero is 2 for 2 on save opps. (with 1 win) and has only given up 1 ER and 9 strikeouts in 8 innings.
the crew needs to get of gagne for sure. hes not worth the money. I think DT just needs to get his confidence back and he will be awesome.
While Gagne is a rollercoaster... he is among the NL leaders in saves.
He should be at the top of course.
I think Turnbow is done, he was good until the all-star break his rookie year, because no one had ever seen him pitch before.
Everyone has now figured him out, and he really doesn't have anything filthy to throw.
I'm still on the fence for Gagne.
Maybe those big ass goggles are messing with his game. Are those prescription or wtf?
Lasik surgery?
Why not try Riske for a few save opps to see if he can get it done?
I still say Cordero was worth every penny... should have thrown 50mil at him, who cares, there isn't shit available for closers.
How many saves have we blown now? uh-huh.

Gagne is only among the leaders for saves because his team has backed him up when he needed them. He has a 8.2 ERA along with 4 HRs allowed in 9 games. He is 6 of 9 for save opportunities, and he is lucky he got a few of those (could easily be at 3-4 saves).
Gagne = $10 million bust (atleast so far, unless he catches on fire which I don't see happening)

Before his season with the Brewers Gagne had only blown 11 saves total . . . . in his career. This season he has blown three. When he hot he's hot, and when hes not . . . well we all know what happens then. As for Turnbow, hes garbage. Had one good season and made it to the all-star game. Last season everyone figured it out, he throws a fastball almost every pitch and batters go up there looking for a fastball. He doesn't have command with his curve so he backs it up with a heater right down the middle of the plate.

wasn't Gagne a setup man last year, and a bad one at that? (thus making this his second year since a good one, just like turnblow)

There is no "backing up" by the batters once the save man is in... that's it, done, last chance.
If he doesn't save it in the 9th, he doesn't get another chance to save it in the 10th :P
He's among the leaders for saves, because he got the job done more often than not, so far.
He's still averaging a save every 2 of 3 chances.
Am I still nervous when he comes into a game? Hell yes.
Even he looks nervous, like he has no confidence in himself.

I mean that he will have a 1-2 run lead going into the 9th, then blow it, then we win it in extras

Yeah thats true. I was thinking about his time with Boston. He still has good stuff. Turnbow should be gone.

Yost needs to #1 never use Gagne when it's wet out. The guy has blown 2 saves while wet, and spends all his time worrying about footing, that nobody else has a problem with.
Turnbow I have to turn off the game when he comes in. I couldn't stand the guy last year, and he's worse this year. Hitters have it easy against him. Either keep the bat on your shoulder and he'll miss the plate by a mile, or he grooves fast balls right down the middle. You don't even have to guess.
Brewers offense is just going to have to start getting their heads out of their butts and score enough runs that they don't need to worry about their closers giving up 2-3 runs an outing.

both suck ass!!!! was at the game today and enjoyed watching gagme blow the save!!!
Chicago is what you would get if Milwaukee had sex with it's sister. Said by a co-worker of mine arguing w/ somebody on how Milwaukee is better then Chicago.
This sh!t has gotten out of control. Fire em all!
Im sorry but Gagne didnt blow this save today, the game was over but the double play didnt happen.... I'm starting to get bored with him though.
It would've been over after 9 innings if Gagne didn't let the first two batters get on base. He has yet to do a 3 up 3 down save. Turnbow has allowed every lead off hitter to reach base, Gagne isn't much better.
