“John Smoltz is insufferable” – Fans stand by Twins vet after the Braves legend blasts detractors of Brewers’ tactic in World Series

Baseball fans rallied behind former Minnesota Twins player Trevor Plouffe after broadcaster and Atlanta Braves legend John Smoltz criticized him on air during Game 5 of the World Series. Smoltz remarked that anyone suggesting the Milwaukee Brewers should have brought in ace Jacob Misiorowski to close Game 4 had lost all baseball credibility. Plouffe shared the remark on social media, leading several supporters to criticize Smoltz's commentary style.

The discussion followed Milwaukee's World Series victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, which concluded 4-1 after the Brewers missed a sweep opportunity in Game 4. Misiorowski started Game 5 instead, pitching 5.2 scoreless innings while allowing two hits to secure the championship for the Brewers.
