Couldn't carry his jock. Hoffman has never pitched well in a big game. I remember he had a chance to propel his Padres into the playoffs and needed a save in the last game of the season to the Rockies. Blew it. Ok. Here's a one game playoff game to win. He BLEW the save again and the Padres sat out the playoffs! Hoffman is a product of longevity being the only closer on a mediocre team. To mention Hoffman and Rivera in the same breath should be criminal. Hoffman doesn’t even compare to Mariano. Couldn’t carry his jock. Hoffman has never pitched well in a big game.
