Man, no relief pitcher should ever have to throw 40 pitches in an inning, but having a closer do it? I can only think of two people to blame yesterday, Hardgrove and Eddie, with most of it on Eddie. I think maybe we should put Raffi or Putz in the closer for a while and see how they do. I hope this isn't how Eddie keeps going, I like him, but I cannot take 4 walks by a CLOSER. Not to mention his other outings, saved a game, but gave up 2 runs doing it, walked the leadoff for another, and the Boston game was saddening too.
