    It was the 10th, no?

    Maybe that's why he was better.

    Start modifying the criteria further: Must be a save situation, extra innings preferred.

    Giles is a complete liability. Demote his ass.

    I think he put the nail in his own coffin tonight. That felt like the last straw for Hinch.

    Giles start punching yourself. If not, the fans want to.

    You tell me that a pitcher choked like a yellow dog and gave up 3 or 4 runs....I'm guessing Giles or Home Run Harris. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Dude is gone. You CANNOT carry a guy like this into the playoffs. Trade him, cut him, demote him, do whatever is necessary, but you get this guy as far away from the Astros organization as humanly possible. And you do it tomorrow. No more screwing around.

    Yep. Might as well start a Giles Appreciation thread now. Only a matter of time...

    Anyone notice he gave Hinch a few words after AJ pulled him?

    “F you man” is what I believed he mouthed.

    Embarrassment to the entire team.

    Verlander definitely wants to. Dude is at 197 career wins and Hinch puts this clown in in the 9th.

    I would actually kind of lose a little respect for Luhnow if Giles isn't gone tomorrow.

    Giles will be part of a trade at the deadline.

    I doubt he pitches much in the next three weeks.

    Eh, they're not going to make any rash decision like DFA him I wouldn't think. I don't think he finishes the season on this team but he does have some level of value, enough to take some time and explore possibilities.

    A.J and Luhnow is at fault for trusting Ken Giles for too long. Luhnows fault for trading for Giles. It was A.J fault for the blown save. Why a bullpen by commitee, Keep Rondon as a Closer and don't confuse him. A.J deserved to be cussed at. Hated A.J trusting Giles last postseason blown saves and it is continuing his Ken Giles blown saves tradition.
    Jeff Luhnow needs to trade Ken Giles and get the same value for him like Josh Fields for Yordan Alvarez.
