Brewers pull Gagne from closer's role
Published 5/11/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MLB
The Brewers yanked Eric Gagne from the closer's role on Sunday after the reliever called his latest performance embarrassing and said he didn't feel he deserved to pitch the ninth 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."
"He's really pushing himself really, really hard and taking it really, really hard," Yost said.
