    Peacock threw 3 hangers that should have been sent to the upper deck.

    I wonder if there is a little voice in the back of Giles head that is secretly relieved he isn’t going out there.

    Well you know, statistically he was the second best closer in the AL last regular season....

    I think some previous nights, that may have been the case. But tonight, Devo only threw 1 pitch in the 8th, so it doesn't make sense to pull him after all the warming up anyway. It's clear they don't quite trust Giles right now, but I think some of these saves have had some weird circumstances to them at all (yesterday, Giles had pitched the previous two days). The one that raises questions the most is the 3 inning Peacock save, I think.

    Hinch goes to Giles. Ugh. This **** better work. I feel like my RL bet has already lost.

    They're going to Giles now?

    Either we win, or I get to watch a fun meltdown in here.

    WIN/WIN

    I really like this move, this is going to make or break Giles. Hinch intentionally let him face 1 batter to get his confidence back.

    1 out Giles. Hinch is practically gifting you one here against Buxton...

    I don't think Giles should be fired into the Sun but I hate this move right now.

    So other teams went to the 6 out save. We went to the one out save...
