    If Gregerson can close 80% then I'm ok, but if the bafoonery continues he got to move to 8th inning.

    Why the 8th? Harris dominates the 8th.

    In my opinion
    Gregerson
    Harris
    Giles

    yeah i'm with this.

    Also, no excuse to push him back out there for the 10th after he left 50 pitches up in the zone last inning. Didn't see anyone warming up?

    Even if this game continues, this team won't get another base hit the rest of the night. Gregerson sucked the energy right out of them.

    Amazing that "Gas Can" Giles goes from bum to closer so quickly. I still got faith in Luke Greg he be aight!

    ya bc luke and this team in general has been NAILS in late inning situations, right?

    this team is quite literally one of the worst in baseball - excuse me for having zero confidence.

    You worship a .100 hitter. Standards aren't your thing.

    I hope you were a Communications major, anything else would be an embarrassment to UT.

    Worshipping Gomez now giving Luke the axe is pretty telling.

    Hey, if you say the sky is falling every time you look up, eventually you will be right.

    Correa has smoked every ball. I think he'll pull through this inning.

    you must be going senile... this team just blew 9th inning leads in back to back games prior to this stellar 9th inning showing.

    go to bed, old man.

    I'd be in favor of this. Gregerson is better out of the pen as a guy that can get you out of a situation. We need him in more spots. He simply is not a dominant closer and never will be. I'd rather have him available for early tough game situations.

    Is Giles ready for the ninth? Does he deserve it? I don't know, but he has the stuff and hasn't faltered in that role before. I say try it.

    Nice.

    All's I said was that that was a chickensh!t thing to say, and lo and behold, it didn't happen. It was excessively candy@ss, like whiney jake-style, so I said as much.

    Sorry to offend your delicate sensibilities.
