Yeah 4.99 ERA Ken Giles was definitely good this year and not a troubled headcase that let things spiral out of control.

Given Oh and Osuna are both gone, I wonder if Toronto doesn't hand Giles the ball in the 9th

-0.2 WAR, 1.272 WHIP. We can play this game all day and argue advance metrics, but I'm going to guess I've watched way more of Ken Giles pitching this year than you to tell you no, he has not been pitching well at all and was demoted for some very key reasons, including being a massive headcase.

K/b isn’t advanced metrics.

He’s also been terrible in his AAA appearances, so it’s not as if he’s made any improvements.

Verlander looking bummed makes me kinda sad because he's been my favorite Astro along Altuve (who I both literally love) since he's been traded. ![]()

The only positive thing about that video is that Verlander says he “stands by what [he] said”. If Osuna accepts the peace bond on Wednesday and basically confirms the assault occurred, I hope Verlander gets a lot more candid.

I’m not cherry picking stats I’m focusing on fip and k/b which have been traditional stats to measure pitcher performance along with whip and maybe hr/9 His whip was high due to hits as mentioned but his hr/9 is was sterling. I didn’t know he had a fight with hinch.

Require Osuna to address the the player wives in a closed clubhouse room in addition to addressing the team. Get it out in the open with whom I figure will be quite willing to be his harshest critics. Let him convince them. If they give the thumb's down, well gently caress, I don't know.

Gotta factor in the suspension - he doesn't get time accrued for it. It's actually why I think it's a great punishment for him, he cost himself millions by his actions.
