Probably right but yeah, seems like he has done it a lot lately. Perhaps as he develops he'll protect more in those situations.
Hitting a batter is always a good idea on an 0-2 count. Whatever the result it's not like Hinch will put up any kind of a fight.
My trust-level for Giles is Wagner... Billy is obviously more proven/better in the regular season, but we already KNOW he sucked playoffs. Lidge is his next competition as best Astros closer I've witnessed. Not to mention, any positive comments by the supposed "negative guys" are omitted/deleted/bypassed/"forgotten" by the Positive Crew.
