The stuff has been good in the playoffs, the rest did him wonders. People just can't get past some of the bad outings he had in the regular season, many of which were from being overworked.


Yep. Wild to me that some people still think Little was the right move the other night. Hoffman has looked really good in the playoffs for the most part and his one shaky appearance was a 4-out save where he still got the job done. Great outing tonight, though I wish we had someone else come out for the 9th because 35 pitches just 24 hours before a game 7 is a bit concerning.

I understand why Schneider did this, he wanted to secure the win at all cost and then reassess tomorrow. It just shows how wrong he was to not send Hoffman Friday tho.

Great win.

I gotta say it. Hoffman is a low leveredge pitcher for the rest of the season. Dude has been broken and all shook up. That doesn't mean he's useless.....this was the perfect situation for him.

The only way he gets into a game where there's only a 1 or 2 run lead is if it goes into a 15th or 16th inning.

Actually shows that the whole uproar about the Little decision was just typical rear view window baseball fandom. Hoffman looked shook with a 4 run lead.Something happened to his psyche. It happens. But please don't give this guy the ball with a one run lead. Low leveredge guys have their place on a team too.

I almost want Beiber to give up a first inning solo homer just to make him mad. Lets GO.

I'd be surprised if they use Hoffman tomorrow. I think they let him go 2 tonight because they are planning on using Scherzer and Gausman tomorrow night for the later innings.

He is better than he was because of us clinching the division,and him getting those days off before NY,but we should be instantly ready with a backup plan of Fluharty,Fisher just in case because of consecutive days.Would really like to know why this team has seemingly abandoned Fisher,Lauer,Bassit.Must be waiting for next time i guess,but could have used these guys sooner than this.
