It was the 10th, no? Maybe that's why he was better. Start modifying the criteria further: Must be a save situation, extra innings preferred.
You tell me that a pitcher choked like a yellow dog and gave up 3 or 4 runs....I'm guessing Giles or Home Run Harris. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Dude is gone. You CANNOT carry a guy like this into the playoffs. Trade him, cut him, demote him, do whatever is necessary, but you get this guy as far away from the Astros organization as humanly possible. And you do it tomorrow. No more screwing around.
Anyone notice he gave Hinch a few words after AJ pulled him? “F you man” is what I believed he mouthed. Embarrassment to the entire team.
Eh, they're not going to make any rash decision like DFA him I wouldn't think. I don't think he finishes the season on this team but he does have some level of value, enough to take some time and explore possibilities.
A.J and Luhnow is at fault for trusting Ken Giles for too long. Luhnows fault for trading for Giles. It was A.J fault for the blown save. Why a bullpen by commitee, Keep Rondon as a Closer and don't confuse him. A.J deserved to be cussed at. Hated A.J trusting Giles last postseason blown saves and it is continuing his Ken Giles blown saves tradition. Jeff Luhnow needs to trade Ken Giles and get the same value for him like Josh Fields for Yordan Alvarez.
