    Giles is channeling his inner Brad Lidge...

    Why are so many people that are from Texas a Steelers or Patriots fan? At least my teams are all from Texas as this is where I'm from, so quit being a hater.

    Kenny Giles and AJ Hinch are Corey Brewer and John Brewer Bickerstaff 2.0

    Yeah this is no time for giving untrustworthy guys a chance to redeem themselves. Sigh...

    It looks like he tried to fall back on what these guys had been able to do during the regular season and it bit him. Lot of should haves and could haves but it’s all good. Tied with a couple aces lined up. Let’s go get it.

    I still believe.

    Mostly because this team seems to always respond with their backs against the rope and gets the win when they need it.

    I think we can win 2 of the next 3 games. Especially if we win tomorrow.

    I'm afraid Hinch is going to stick to what he said about Giles getting another save. I don't think he will and I don't think we should chance it. His confidence is shot. He can't do it.

    I still like our chances with DK and Verlander. Assume Giles is done as an Astro.

    Collective groan as soon as we saw Giles warming up. Cost the game putting that bum in. Everything I read coming in said that McHugh was the plan after Morton. Even if you weren't going to do that then why put in literally your worse performing pitcher this playoffs in a 1-1 game in the 9th?

    Seriously. 2-3 run lead ok give Giles an inning to see if he can get back in a groove, but to put him in the 9th inning in a tie game? WTF man

    That is the most logical explanation for his decision to put giles in.

    Can you imagine if we still manage to win the series how awkward it will be when they give Giles a ring?

    My buddy at the game texted me when he saw Giles coming in. He knew exactly what it meant. You just can’t go to this guy. That’s all that needs to be said. And the Astros will be in the market for a closer this offseason.
