David Aardsma needs to get his act back together soon for the Seattle Mariners
Last season 28-year old reliever David Aardsma had a career year. He pitched in 73 games (0 starts) for the Mariners last year and he was 3-6 with 38 saves, a 2.52 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. But this year has not been kind to him so far. He has pitched in 20 games (0 starts) for the Mariners this year and he is 0-3 with 12 saves, a 5.21 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. Aardsma’s biggest problem this season has come with the gopher ball as he has given up 3 homers in only 19 innings pitched. Closers just can’t have issues with giving up homers because those become losses. They need Aardsma to get his act back together because he rarely gets a three run save opportunity due to the Mariners poor offense.
