Giles should be forced to submit to a lengthy mental evaluation process. I would also like to hear him repeat his comments about there being a "lack of communication" in Houston while he is hooked up to a polygraph.

I have a feeling that Giles the nut job was probably given semi-pariah status on the team. Think about it....... who really wants to pal around (sans communicate) with a loon who punches himself. |

Not only punches himself but tells his manager to F*** Off when pulled from a game when he is being hammered. |

a lot of homerism in this thread.
What Giles said wasn't that bad and the clipboard overreacted big time. Hinchie should have just been the bigger man and just not responded.

You're literally the first and only person I've heard voice that opinion. I didn't think anybody would support Giles for his comments. |

What? telling your manager FU publicly, and on the mound no less wasn't bad? Furthermore, Hinch didn't respond publicly. Your comments are very bizarre. |

Fanastro has been acting a bit odd. Might need to rethink his role as coaching staff. He actually gave me a demerit for being too critical of Marisnick.

I was talking about what Giles told the Toronto Star on Sep 23, not what Giles said after Hinch took him out of the game months ago. Hinch did respond publicly; look at Bortaz's post with the "I think he's wrong." Hinch's reaction was way overboard claiming Giles "went down that path." What Giles said to the Star was mostly about himself and the Jays; there's not much anti-Astros in his comments at all and what he did say only pertained to his own communication with the team, not the team's overall culture. Rasmus comments about the Jays he made the first season with the Astros were significantly worse than what Giles said about the Astros and none of the posters here thought he did anything wrong. And the warning I gave Bortaz re: Marisnick was mostly a joke, but also partially as a test to see what happens when someone gets warned. |

"Went Down that path" is about as inert or non-comment that Hinch, Luhnow, or anyhone else could have made about this explosive situation. He basically did a no comment" when a mic was stuck in his face. I can't help that you have problems understanding the nuances of our language. Again...what is not understandable about "communications" as far as a slam of the team. Just a little lesson to you....... "Communication" is a cornerstone of effective leadership. Making absurd comments about that lack of is about a big a diss that you can make toward the Astros management. And the comment in full by Giles is pure bs. Geez....How did you get admin rights again? |

a lot of homerism in this thread. What Giles said wasn't that bad and the clipboard overreacted big time. Hinchie should have just been the bigger man and just not responded. I disagree strongly with that. Hinch handled the situation with class. He didn’t call Giles names and defended his team and front office optimally. I don’t mind criticism of the manager where it’s warranted. However, this is one of those times when you’re overreacting about him. |

Am I the only one most annoyed by Giles saying he won a World Series? That was the most ridiculous statement for me. I didn't care about that part. He was a pretty important part of getting them there, and he did close out a couple wins even if he did give up some runs. I just can't imagine throwing your previous championship-winning team under the bus when it's obvious that your performance and attitude (that was visible to all) was the reason you were traded. Surely he must know how that looks around the league. |

It shows how out of touch with reality Giles is....He had ZERO to do with the Astros winning the WS. His main contribution was staying out of the way. |

Giles was good, actually very good for the 2017 Season...so he definitely contributed on the Astros getting to the playoffs....but once the playoffs came, he was a detriment to the team....and never was the same. |

due to the pressure. And as much as folks aren't going to understand this part, I would much rather have psycho-Giles be alive and talking shit about my baseball team
than for him to do what Donnie Moore did and take his own life |

But that still is in second place to slandering a tandem of MLB management (Luhnow/Hinch) who is among the best in baseball in the name of sour grapes. Damn, I wish we some could have gotten squatty one of those cheap reproduction rings in stead of the real thing. Its the one he deserves. Finally, No real fan should be defending this enuch. He's dead to us. |

I think Giles will go on to be a run of the mill decent closer for poor to mediocre teams over the next few seaons if he stays healthy. Hate him or not, he has shown he can convert Saves during the regular season at about the same rate as any other typical closer. He's no Kimbrel but he's no Gregerson either. Whether or not he'll ever succeed in the postseason remains to be seen though.

I still think there's a chance Giles could catch on somewhere and win a championship in his own right like Lidge did. That being said I can understand a closer going psycho

Until Giles accepts responsibility for his own failures, nothing will change. He will still be the same gutless head case who folds under pressure. |
