    Doesn't help that Gattis has called all fastballs.

    Giles has the best stuff, just hasn't learned how to use it.

    Yeah because all the hitters are swinging and missing his slider and heat.

    His milkshake brings nobody to the yard. Everybody makes contact on him.

    Really, you dont say?????

    If he has the best stuff, hitters would swing and miss, but thats not the case with giles. Your saying he doesnt know how to use it, which would be setting batters up or throwing a heater instead of a slider when the time is right. With giles, he just doesnt have the stuff cause whenever he throws a slider, they make contact. Whenever he throws his heat, the make contact. You lose a lot of arguments just for the sake of posting. It might be time to stop.

    Before tonight, in July, Giles had given up 1 hit and struck out 10. Not saying he hasn't been hit, but overall he's been much better at striking out folks than what we saw at beginning of the year.
