    Keuchel and Verlander will need to be their own middle relief, set up men, and closers the next 2 games. Or the offense goes nuts.

    He’s given up a run or more in every postseason appearance. I mean that kinda answers the thread title question in and of itself. They’re going to need a closer.

    By trust him what do you mean?

    Because I DO trust him to give me indigestion.

    So there's that.

    He throws the ball right down the middle, and it's straight as an arrow.

    No and I never did. I said a few weeks ago he is a scrub and I stand by that statement.

    This guy is Brad lidge "the shitty version" 2.0 . He's got a 100 mph fastball and a hell of a slider , but stuff doesn't get outs ... Pitching does . And he has no clue how to use his stuff .

    Giles has pitched in four playoff games.

    He's given up runs in EVERY appearance.

    His ERA in the playoffs is 9.00........yes you read that correctly 9.00

    Look I want the guy to succeed as we aren't winning the WS if he doesn't get his **** together.
