Which doesn’t invalidate the statement that had Giles not been absolute garbage and gotten ZERO outs and gave up ONE more hit than Rondon, Rondon...
If you’re calling him a closer that’s a different issue - he’s not and he wasn’t brought in to be one. He’s become one because the one we traded...
You literally just said he’s pitched above his head (which is true) and I think everyone knows he isn’t the long term solution as a closer. So...
Exactly so let’s quit talking about how he’s good in save situations because it’s useless then. I think we’re on the same page here but saying it...
Where did I say he pitched well? I said he pitched well enough to protect a four run lead had he come in the inning clean.
Yes, the playoffs featured every closer having meltdowns but he became LITERALLY unpitchable. They quit using him. What other closer can say that?...
You watching the same game? He gave up two hits and struck out two...he gave up one run. Yeah he wasn’t great but he wasn’t bad enough to blow a...

This whole save situation BS narrative is stupid. I don’t care what the numbers say...we saw him wilt away under the pressure during the playoffs...

Yeah he’s pretty much useless. Still don’t trust him as a closer and he’s trash in every other situation.
How much you hating Giles right around now?
Yeah whenever I bet the Stros I always take the run line as well...don’t have the stats to back this up but feels like we don’t win many one run...
You take the run line or the money line?
Ian Snell has made a return to the MLB?!?
Winning a World Series MVP will do that for you.
Blake Snell deserves it before Morton let’s be honest.
