Is he trying to make Eric Gagne's arm explode again? I mean, here's a guy who's had his share of elbow problems recently.
So, he puts Gagne in to close the game last night, where he throws 25 pitches while blowing the save.
The Rangers are playing a doubleheader today, and they have the lead in the 9th of the first game, so in comes Gagne to throw another 17 pitches in nailing this one down.
Now, the Rangers are leading the game in the 9th of the second game of the double header and he brings in Gagne again!!!! He throws 12 more pitches and nails down the save. So to recap, he warmed up the old arm 3 separate times in a 24 hour period and threw a combined 54 pitched.
Bringing a guy in three times in a 24 hour period to throw 54 pitches is irresponsible. When that pitcher had missed the vast majority of the previous two seasons due to repeated arm problems it's downright sadistic.
Seriously, does he WANT Gagne to get hurt?

The best part is that Washington brought in Gagne in a non-save situation on Monday night, knowing full well the Rangers were playing a doubleheader Tuesday. Oh well, it does "prove" to potential suitors that Gagne can handle a full workload. Good for the Rangers, not good for my keeper team.
When can we expect another installment of On the Juice?
How about: Carlos Guillen (Suspicious breakout after going to the Tigers - slugged .542 after never never topping .397 in four years in the majors)
And if you haven't seen it:

I agree, Guillen is a good candidate for OTJ, I'll have to profile him at some point.
