hoffman is horrible.

He's not very good but that half swing just falling fair for a ground rule double isn't something you have much control over.

I hope this isn't a game where the Reds regret using up all the runs yesterday.

Hoffman is horrible.

Only well hit ball for the Pirates ends up in an out

And now they get one anyway on a wild pitch.

Don't know why Barnhart didn't just try and body block it.

Wild pitch brings in a run

Hoffman is a depth guy. He is what he is. We should just be grateful we got a month of solid starts out of him. With Lorenzen clearly being out for awhile id look into signing Cole Hamels.

[Banshee]

Tucker w/ the lazy backhand instead of blocking that one. It happens, but not very often w/ him.

[JFLegal]

that's on barnhart. you pound the turf (which is always stupid when catchers do that) then you don't block the pitch.

I dunno but I thought Hoffman looked as sharp that inning as he has all year. Both of those hits were weakly hit on good pitches.

I really don't get the "Hoffman is horrible" narrative. He's simply an okay 5th starter. Nothing great, but not horrible by any means.

I don’t think he’s bad at all. He’s not a #1, but his stuff has been pretty good.

I like how if you weren't following the game you'd think he gave up 5 runs in the first there based on some of the reactions on here.
