Not in the 8th, which is what I’m talking about. No Dominguez (who escaped because of a great double play). Yariel in the 8th, hope for a run in the bottom, put Hoffman in with the lead. If Toronto doesn’t score in the bottom of the 8th, either keep Yariel in or put someone else in.
That’s not the argument you were making. And you’re wrong either way.
How am I wrong?? Look what happened. Hoffman is a closer, not a “let’s see if we can get to the next inning” guy. It’s a horrid managerial decision. Would you put Mario Rivera in top of nine in a tie game???
Absolutely.
Yes, I would put Mariano or Trevor Hoffman or Lee Smith in the top of the ninth at home with the game tied. Anyways, I think I’ve given you a sufficient amount of my time. You can continue to be wrong in your own dime.
“Hoffman is not that dude. Not right now.”
You know how many times Rivera was put into a tie game??? Ten percent of his games tossed. Same with Smith. It’s a fools move to when you have other arms in the pen.
You know, just because you have a fancy handle certainly doesn’t mean you know more about the game than anyone else. I like your takes, but you are horribly wrong here. You’d put Mariano, Hoffman and Smith in in a tie game at home??? You’re the only human to think that.
You can manage my team anytime! On another topic from today, who do you think picks up IKF?
I really don’t know. I can’t think of a playoff team who needs a utility guy…but maybe someone after rosters expand will have a spot. He can still play for the Pirates until someone claims him though, which is weird.
It's a strange situation for sure.
