The man known as 100 Miles Giles hasn't quite lived up to his billing this year. Yet, there is hope in his recent performance.
The nickname 100 Miles Giles is an unfortunate one for Ken Giles for a couple of reasons. First, it's just a boring and uncreative nickname. Why don't we call Jamie Moyer 82 Miles Moyer or Aroldis Chapman 104 Miles Chapman? Because those nicknames are lazy and stupid, that's why. I get that he throws fastballs that touch 100 mph, but he also gives awkward public addresses. We don't call him Awkward Public Speaker Giles.
