After the way last season ended, Trevor Hoffman is expected to be perfect this year. Unfortunately no one is perfect, not even Baseball’s all-time Save leader. After Wednesday’s blown save opportunity, San Diegans were calling for Trevor’s head… AGAIN! I really don’t understand this fickle-fan mentality in San Diego, especially after 3 games. I can understand it in NY, Boston, or LA, but not here in my hometown. Questioning Trevor is like questioning LT, Tony Gwynn, or Dan Fouts… ridiculous!
