Despite playing very well at the end of the season, he is still facing backlash online from Blue Jays fans as they still do not trust him due to his consistency issues this season.
One fan mentioned that Seranthony Dominguez is still a better option than Hoffman who has been pitching well too but it still seems unjust with how well Hoffman has been playing.
With all due respect to Jeff Hoffman, Seranthony Dominguez is a better option to close out games in October.
In his last 7 games, Hoffman has a 1.35 ERA with 3 saves in 6.2 innings pitched with 6 strikeouts in that time as well showing that he has been great for Toronto lately.
