Just as well that it wasn't a big show. Getting drilled then having it out with blue isn't a good look.

« on: August 03, 2018, 01:56:16 pm »Giles never struck me as an intellectual, and baseball is ultimately a cerebral game. Adrenaline carry carry you physically sometimes, but emotions have to be under control, especially as a pitcher. I think he often struggled with that part of his game.
ETA: to clarify, you can pitch with “fire” and determination, but you can’t let emotion dictate which pitch you throw next. If you’re getting squeezed, you have to adjust, you can’t get into a dick measuring contest with the ump. If a guy hits a fastball, you can’t be afraid to throw it the next time up. A fastball may not be the best pitch, but you can’t be sacred to throw it if it is. You can’t keep throwing a guy fastballs because you’re pissed off and want to announce your presence with authority. Ultimately you have to pitch with a purpose. Giles seemed to get lost in that sometimes.
The marathon AB in the 9th against Cle struck me then as a pitcher who lost sight of what the real goal was.

I liked Giles while he was here, pulled for him, felt for him when he struggled, especially when he lost the closer title in the WS (telling that for every player who struggled last postseason, he was ther only one that was taken out of his designated role).
I was in Arlington last year when AJ called on him to get his first multi-inning save. He got it and it was a big win, and a big step as the were a few more such saves down the stretch.
But boy did he prove to be a head case. I usually am fine seeing ex-Astros do well after leaving. If he gives a mea culpa I guess that would help. Right now I don't know how I feel about him.
He's still several notches above Gomez so there's that.

All 3 starting pitchers did well this series and the bullpen did its job admirably.
And the adjustments AJ made in the order yesterday and today paid dividends.

That decision was all Mr. Hamels, not Mrs. Hamels. There was something he didn't like about the Astros, and he nixed it. Maybe he was one of the union guys who didn't like that totally unfair, lowball contract the Astros forced Singleton to sign (poor guy, thinking for himself). Maybe he's afraid of math. But the Astros were in first when he blocked the trade, so I don't buy the contender angle either.
