MILWAUKEE ? The Milwaukee Brewers today relieved bullpen coach Stan Kyles of his duties. Lee Tunnell will replace Kyles on an interim basis and report to the team tomorrow. The announcement was made by Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Melvin.
?It is important that we make every effort to try to improve our bullpen performance,? said Melvin. ?While Stan is not solely responsible, I felt that this change was the first step and was necessary. Stan has been a loyal member of the Milwaukee Brewers organization for 11 years. His hard work and dedication has been an integral part of the Brewers? success and is greatly appreciated. His professionalism, personality and knowledge will be missed.?
Tunnell, in his fourth season in the organization, had been Minor League Pitching Coordinator. Prior to that role, he spent three seasons with the Cincinnati Reds as interim bullpen coach (2006) and pro scout (2007-08). He also coached in the Rangers organization for nine seasons (1997-2005).
Brewers relievers have gone 15-26 with a 4.80 ERA this season. The bullpen has recorded the most losses and blown saves (20) in the Major Leagues and ranks 28th in ERA and 29th in opponent batting average (.274).
Kyles had served as bullpen coach for the Brewers since the 2009 season.
