Jay in Toronto

Hey guys, how are you doing?

Great, great.

Hey, this question was kind of for yesterday, but I just could not get through.

Sure, go ahead.

Yeah, I just want to comment about

the Hoffman, Schneider, and Pete Walker thing.

I thought Pete Walker and Schneider just tried to get too cute with rearranging the thing, trying to match the pitching with the hitters and all that.

Honestly, Hoffman is a failed starter, a failed closer, and he's a failed reliever.

He has no right to be close to the ninth inning.

Seriously, not even close to ninth inning.

And, you know, I don't know what to do with this guy, but the saying goes, you fool me once, you know, shame on you and all that stuff.

But this guy has fooled us so many times.

And Schneider and Walker were so full of it in the ninth inning that they refused to take him out, even though they saw the writing on the wall, because they knew they messed up.

They refused to take him out until it was so late.

And it's like it's embarrassing.

We give up a loss like that.

It was embarrassing.

And honestly, when all the pitchers come back, we have six starters and we'll definitely keep all of them.

Maybe we'll put one of those starters to relief.

So that leaves us with seven more spots.
