TOTAL BS!!!
We all know that Blown Saves happen, even to the best closers. Sometimes it's because of a few bad breaks and broken bat singles. Sometimes your team's closer just sucks. I'm here to try and tell the story behind the BS. Every time one of the teams SFWH covers blows a save, we'll be here to cover it with Total BS!
Victim: Trevor Hoffman, San Diego Padres
BS On The Year: 2
The Situation: Trying to close out Greg Maddux's 350th career win, Trevor Hoffman served up a game tying home run to Bengie "Don't Call Me Yadier" Molina.
BS Scale: Our first 5 out of 5. I know I've said this before, but if I were a Padre fan, I would be extremely concerned about Hoffman. Sometimes players can struggle out of the gate, and there's a slim chance Hoffman can put all of this behind him and finish the season strong. But it's almost a month through the season and Hoffman doesn't seem to inspire confidence in his team when he's trying to close out a game. When you're a one-pitch pitcher like Hoffman is, and that pitch doesn't seem to be working well...what else do you go with?
