Stupid Hinch. I'm glad yall are all happy with Giles today, remember this thread the next time he gives up a run.
great point. Credit to Hinch...if we're going to take it away from him for doing things that "don't make sense" based on what we've seen in games (and yeah, he's lost a lot of points there this season), gotta give him credit for doing those same things when they work out.
And I know some don't want to hear about it, but he had 4 straight scoreless appearances coming into tonight What a night by White!!
now you can't (really) pinch hit for Castro given that Gattis is already in the game at DH. Though Castro has swung the bat decently enough lately to leave him in here regardless with 0 outs and no force.
Take hitter who generated all of our offense tonight out of the game. Pinch run but don't bunt him over anyway when you're playing for one run.
Hope Hinch doesn't come to regret taking out a red hot White in a 3-3 tie in the 8th. His spot might be due up in the 9th. Nice hit Jake!
