Hazen needs one more guy in the pen, preferably a closer. Sewald and Martinez ain’t it.

Hell would a closer tandem of Ginkel and Puk work for eight inning on

That’s a bummer man. I don’t have any way of defending sewald there. Maybe this provides Mike Hazen with the motivation to get a stud closer.

Sewald is really a mystery right now. He has a 20% BS rate this season (16 of 20 save chances) but his WHIP is fantastic. It's hard to blow saves when you are under a 1 WHIP.

No mystery. He just doesn't have closer stuff. That's why the Mariners dumped him at the deadline last year. His WHIP ratio is good, but the "H" in that ratio includes a lot of doubles and dingers instead of singles. Yesterday, it was two doubles that blew the save.
