Reply #26: Choi got waived

Boston picked him up.

Tragedy for all those fans who were in love with his name.

Gagne's thrown seven innings, given up seven hits, two earned runs, one homer, walked four and struck out eight. The walks bother me a little, as does the fact he's been throwing only in the low 90s.

Here's some stuff from the Dodgers site:

After technically blowing a save on Sunday and being credited with a victory, Gagne said that he'll be ready for Opening Day (pending the appeal of a two-game suspension) and he won't hold anything back. He complained about his offspeed pitches and mechanics, but not his arm.

"I have good days and bad days," said Gagne. "It felt like a typical day game. I felt all right. The ball was coming out better, but I wasn't hitting my spots, and my curveball wasn't good. You can't expect much. I feel better warming up, and the next day I feel better. I've got to get my mechanics consistent. I go too fast, and when I try to slow down, I slow down too much."

"said Gagne." :spank:

Tomko may be the best pick-up they made. He's got a 1.35 ERA in 20 innings. He pitched pretty well for the Giants last year, but they didn't score any runs for him.
