    Which doesn’t invalidate the statement that he pitched like **** tonight.

    You realize you’re doing the exact same thing Giles defenders do right now.... right this very second...

    Yea with two years of control, he could be moved for something

    This is such a tight nit team and they love Hinch, if he said what it looked like he did to Hinch when he was pulled, he is probably done here. Luhnow has done that type of thing in the past, he values the clubhouse a lot

    Gattis has cooled considerably... we do not need a SO here.

    Which doesn’t invalidate the statement that had Giles not been absolute garbage and gotten ZERO outs and gave up ONE more hit than Rondon, Rondon wouldn’t have been in the game in the first place. This whole argument started because y’all seriously are acting like Rondon is as much to blame as Giles which is absolutely ludacris. It’s like 80/20 at best.

    Can you imagine what Verlander is thinking?

    Lol, that’s fan nonsense

    He has value, needs to be moved along though.

    I bet Verlander is much more upset that Giles cussed out AJ than he is about losing the personal W

    Giles pitched like he didn’t care. Rondon pitched like a chicken with his head cut off.

    Not sure why you’re trying to deflect blame.

    Iglasies will be available. Hand will likely be available. Treinen will be possible but expensive. There are guys, not as many as in the past but there are guys better than what we have.

    Does anyone on the team even likes Giles? He seems like a loner/headcase. Honestly I think Hinch wants him gone and the rest of the team is on board with that...what better way to do that than let him blow Verlanders win.

    Do we have no other options to Tyler White. Dude is batting a buck 85. That ain't gonna do it.
