Over the years it's generally been raining most of the time. I'm in my 20s and have no memory of any type of major sports championship... with 3 pro sports teams... sad.
He left him in with one guy on base. Should never have left him in once he allowed the second guy to reach. Giles should have struck out Simmons. Bad 0-2 pitch allowed him to make enough contact.
Giles getting blasted here for giving up a blooper to Trout, K Pujols, ground out, another grounder that should of ended game. The single on 0-2 not good but game should of been over already. Tough crowd here!
Or he just didn't execute the pitch. Can somebody go back and tell if it was a fastball or slider? Simmons was looking late on the slider, and I figured they'd try to throw a fastball up/away.
For sure Giles should have finiahed it off and Marwin should have made that play. But Hinch made a big mistake in letting Keuchel stay out there.
very true. but I also agree that you shouldn't just lock devo into the closer role. use him in the highest of high leverage situations, of which this was definitely one YES!!!
