It appears that Eric Gagne listens to “The Pitch” because he’s given up on the idea of his Brewers having a closer, too. Instead, his Milwaukee club will go to a bullpen-by-committee approach to closing games — something The Pitch community emphatically approves on the Monday edition of the show.
The program does not, however, condone the pre-meditated use of a batting helmet as a mound-charging weapon, as Mariners first baseman Richie Sexson employed at the close of MLB’s Week 6 against the Rangers. The guys ask “If there’s room for fighting in baseball, where is it?”
And the guys can’t escape giving props to the streaking Florida Marlins, who — fresh off a seven-game winning streak — put their sights on a 6-year, $70 million deal for Hanley Ramirez.
The rest of the weekend action is recalled, along with an update of “The Pick-off” scoreboard going into this Week 7 Monday edition of “The Pitch.” Interact via e-mail at thepitch@mvn.com or via phone at 360-450-MVN3.
