The Orioles visit the Twins as Rogers takes on Kremer at Target Field.

It's more than that, though. He's not just prone to typical fluctuations; he is literally a bad pitcher for prolonged periods of time. Overall, he's a good - not great - reliever because of it. I asked Sam to write the counterpoint to this because tons of Twins writers are fawning over Hoffman. We run a Blue Jays site, and I've watched Hoffman pretty closely for the past two years. While ERA isn't the end-all, be-all for relievers (in fact, I tell people not to use it at all 95% of the time), it is extremely important to note whether a reliever's ERA is bad because of three true outcomes, and Hoffman's is. He generally starts and ends his own innings. He's giving up home runs and walks. He has earned every bit of his ERA, and that means we should not ignore some significant red flags with him.

Woof, not a great pitching matchup today.

Oh no, please share. Now I'm interested if it's doing that for a reason, or if it's just coincidence. I *think* it's probably coincidence, but I'm not sure.

Huh. Maybe? It's updated programmatically now.
