Shhhh. Just listen to me for a second. Yes, go ahead and get a drink. Yes, I’ll wait.
For a while now #on #line I’ve been seeing Unnamed People saying how much easier life would be if only Billy Wagner was anchoring the bullpen and not Ken Giles. But folks I’m here to tell you that Ken Giles is basically Billy Wagner.
Step right inside this Waybach. Wagner was in the Astros’ bullpen from 1996 (I’m not counting his one appearance where he threw 0.1IP in 1995) until the end of the 2003 season. With the Astros Wagner saved 225 games, threw 504.
