I said two days ago I didn't like Hoffman coming in 8th in a 7 to 2 game. Someone pointed out that he needed work and I agreed, but I said use him in the 9th. You don't want that middle of the order to get multiple looks. If we had used Dominguez in the 7 to 2 game we bring in Hoffman in the 9th. That would allowed Hoffman to face the top of the order yesterday having not just seen them previous day.
Even with Hoffman having just faced those guys the previous day he was the guy to bring in, in that situation. He looked dominant the day before. The bullpen is our Achilles heel. Hoffman is our guy. We need to use him when the game is on the line.
