PrintWith Eric Gagné having trouble keeping the ball in the park — he has allowed damaging home runs in his last two outings — manager Ned Yost said he probably will start mixing it up in the eighth inning. Gagné has surrendered 11 homers in 37 2/3 innings.MLB.com:
"[The home runs allowed] are more glaring because they're in one-run games."Seems everyone is noticing that Gagne has been hemorrhaging taters worse than Ireland during the Potato Famine, but just how bad is his case of gopheritis?
Pretty bad, it turns out. Only 11 pitchers since 1901 have allowed as many or more homers than Gagne in the same or fewer amount of batters faced (175) (Amazingly enough, he's only third this year, as Jaime Walker and Oscar Villarreal have "beaten" him, surrendering 12 in 159 and 12 in 168, respectively). In fact, Gagne has been so bad this season that he's literally off the chart:
As Steve Martin said in Parenthood, "Ah, that was money well spent."

Well lets be greatful
They only gave that Mope a one year deal unlike Riskie who will be costing us for the next two season
Money and games lol
Sad part is someone will give GAGne a chance next year for a lot less but he will still be in baseball with someone
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
Even worse
one of these years, he’ll have a nice streak of good luck, and post a 2.50 ERA or something over 50 innings, and he’ll get a multi-year deal again.
Also, cheese.

If he becomes a Ranger....
Does that mean we’d have to sign him agaiin?
damn...
i’ve been away from BCB long enough so that I thought (when i read your thread title) that they cut Gagne in favor of Mike Lamb, who wasn’t on the roster when I disappeared.
damn
so…how did lamb get the call up? where did he come from?
