Depends how many more runs we score.Still dont wanna see Hoffman.


No way Hoffman holds a 5-1 lead in a big game like this. We'd need to score at least another 5 to be safe.


Not an endorsement of Hoffman in any way, but he has only given up 1 earned total in his last 12 outings.
He has found ways to get it done in the most painful of ways, and looked bad doing it. But the runs haven't scored.

The trends are a concern. It’s safe to say these were flukey outings and not indicative of his actual effectiveness.

And let’s hope that’s not how they justify using our worst RP in the biggest spots in the postseason

He has played gold glove level defence in September.

Unfortunately he has been the opposite of a Silver Slugger at the plate... trying to think of something clever that is the opposite of Silver Slugger, but I'm blanking.

Not a great walk to the 9 hitter, unusual for him

Great commentary by Buck there last inning about all the versatile fielders we have. Schneider, Barger, Clement, Straw , Lukes even IKF. Who was that guy on the 2015 Royals renowned for being a super utility player? We've got a bunch of those .

Limit this inning to 1 run or less.

They need to be ready for an early pull here if necessary, Gausman has been very ineffective so far

Just when things seem great, Gausman loses his sharpness
