Luhnow must not give a damn, allowing his manager to conduct business this way. Anyone can do a better job than this clown AJ.
I'm not sure what you want him to do. If the starter can't go deeper into the game, he can't really avoid Giles, Sipp, & Fields. Neshek struggles against lefties.
Easy, like I said, Feliz should be developed for late inning games. Second, we have Hoyt in the minors, he should be in the majors. Three, NO GILES unless mop up.
Aside from tonight , gregsrson has been lights out . So while technically if you want to blame anyone for losing the game it's Greg ( because he is the closer and gave up 3 of his own runs in the 9th ) as fans we feel like someone else is to blame .
I believe in vibes and Giles when he comes in especially in competitive, close games, he brings bad vibes with him. It's not smart to be bringing him in close games right now, it's just not.
You do realize the irony of this question from an Astros fan? They aren't Cubs good, but sure as hell look good enough to win this division. We missed an opportunity tonight
While I understand your anger , the fact that you think rookies are the solution is kinda strange . Niether Hoyt nor Feliz has the stuff of Giles . What makes you think they will be better options ? ... Other than the fact you haven't seen them **** up yet ? I'm not digging Giles so far , I'd like to send him down . I think he needs to either gain back plus plus fastball speed and location , or there is a mechanical problem in which he is tipping his pitches . Baseball is a game of adjustments and maybe the league has adjusted to him and he and the Astros coaches need to adjust back . Our team ( overall ) sucks in all aspects of the game . The bullpen is usually the easiest to point the finger at becuase they usually make the marginal mistake that costs us the game .
Hinch doesn't make those decisions. Feliz has struggled in the majors so far, though he has flashed moments, but the same could really be said for Giles this season. Hoyt could certainly be added. Would not mind dumping Fields or Neshek at this point, though Neshek has still shown he can be a righty specialist.
