Hoffman throws 18 pitches for Nashville
Brewers closer Trevor Hoffman began what is supposed to be a two-game rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Nashville tonight and allowed one run on two hits — both doubles — in an inning of work at Memphis. He struck out one batter and did not issue a walk.
Hoffman threw 18 pitches, 10 of them for strikes, in his first game since a March 13 Spring Training outing. He had been sidelined since then by a strained muscle along the right side of his rib cage.

Did they play hells bells upon his entrance, or maybe the theme from deliverance, or perhaps the sound engineer was bound and gagged as they did at Maryvale this spring.
