Hinge finally returned in R5 but managed just 44 — a full 15 points below his 59 BE. At $403.6k, scoring below breakeven on his season debut locks in price decline, and an average anchored at 44 is unsustainable at this price point. The avoid calls through R2–R4 were validated. Those who held through injury are now absorbing real losses — sell before further decline.
