5.66 ERA/5.58 FIP

A world where Hoffman never fails his Baltimore physical sounds like the most peaceful existence.

This hasn’t just been a rough two-week or one-month stretch. It’s been going on since May of last season.

I really think the issue is the closer’s role itself. The Jays need to pull Hoffman out of high-leverage situations for now, let him reset and rebuild some confidence, and then ease him back into a 7th- or 8th-inning role. And if a guy like Varland or Rogers takes hold of the closer’s job, then that’s the way it should be. Hoffman can still be a very valuable reliever and late-inning weapon for this team, but first they need to get him back on track.

You've posted this like 15 times this week, man... we get it, you think he's a mental midget and could excel as a setup man, okay... stop now. F*ck the regurgitation, please and thanks.
