    Giles for his stuff , never seems to have clean innings .

    How many times did he come in during a save situation and put down the opposition 1-2-3 ?

    It always seemed like he gave up a hit or a walk etc ... Like he always got into a bit of trouble .

    Trust Giles with a six-run lead?

    Agreed. I didn't mind seeing him tonight because he had a cushion with which to work. If he doesn't pitch tomorrow, I won't feel like we missed out on a sure thing.

    Still nope.

    I don't think he's got it between the ears. I think he's a poseur.

    If this guy doesn’t make you nervous you should run for president or emperor or god.

    Don't forget to blame Reddick for grounding into yet another double play in the top of the inning

    Can develop their skills, but can't save mental midgets. Get rid of him.

    Strange how Giles has magically sucked ass since the playoffs started. Especially since iit was entirely unpredictable.

    I have completely lost faith in Giles. Regardless of the outcome of this game and series...the Astros need an upgrade at closer.

    Hope he still has the confidence to pitch the rest of the series. We need him.
