    Is it weird that I really don't trust anyone in the pen right now?

    Edit: exactly for reasons like that.

    Giles makes me nervous. Hold his lead, Ken, if you want to be considered a closer.

    It seems like the point of using a closer in a tie game would be to demoralize the other team, yet it doesn't feel like that is what we have out there.

    Giles got lucky as f*** on that fouled HR.

    Great he locked it down afterwards.

    The point of using a closer in a tied game at home is that he's likely your best available pitcher, and you won't have a save opportunity, so there's no point saving him.

    saw this and wondered what happened, turns out you can't bounce a pitch into the strike zone

    I remember when Gallardo was a solid #2 pitcher, maybe even #1. Boy, he sure has fallen off a cliff.
