It's now clear Hoffman isn't a #1 closer

[Stangstag]

That’s honestly not a bad pitch, great swing on that damn

[glory]

Shocking.

[G-Snarls]

No no no no NO

[neverbeenhere]

a team without a closer

[Spanky__99]

Langeliers killed us all game, f*** Hoff!

[Perfect Game]

Of course 😡

[Angrioter]

Hoffman in Mid-season form 

[Laika]

It was 98 up and away. 

I dunno bros. Just a great swing.

I dont think that HR was a bad pitch but he's thrown a bunch of pitches right in the heart of the plate. 

[harvey16]

New Year, same Hoffman

[Angrioter]

Okamoto walk up 

[Bob_Gratton]

To have signing Suarez will have been a good move.

Ya Hoffman always makes great pitches that somehow end up HRs.  Schneider said this all last season too

Cue the outrage when Hoffman gives up a homer to known noodle bat Nick Kurtz

1 batter off, but bump

Never change, BJMB

Something to do with predictability maybe? 

Like it was a decent pitch but everyone was expecting a high fastball so if you think he's going up there then it's not a good pitch in that count 

[RobinThicc]

I don’t wanna see Luke’s in the 2 spot anymore.

[Alejandro Murphy]

Just unreal
 

Hoffman cost this franchise/ City and Country too much heartaches

 

now this to start the season

 

I understand this is a first game out of 162 but his Achilles of giving up Homeruns will haunt this team all season

 

Package this guy with Berríos and a prospect please

It's what happen when u refuse pay 20-22m for a real #1 closer, thinking you will be ok with cheaper option like Hoffman

[416BlueJs]

Need to make that change

[Jays24]

I wanted Hoffman to have a clean inning more than anything man.  Sucks but lets finish it off to pick him up

[neverbeenhere]

I feel sorry for Gausman

[Jonn]

Only Hoffman can generate that much whiff and strike out 4 batters but still somehow blow the game lmao

I just don't think his stuff is that good. 

[bronson44]

I'm okay with an opening day walk-off
