Ken Giles' plan was just to ignore all of the blood

Perhaps it's the awkwardness in front of large crowds or the fact that we've come to rely on him for the majority of our life's hope, but I think we all see a little of ourselves in Ken Giles.

We saw even more of what's in Giles on Friday, when Giles entered the Phillies' game against the Nationals in the eighth inning. Down 2-1, Giles just needed to keep the Phillies close, but before he could even appear in his appearance, Carlos Ruiz noticed Giles was bleeding from the hand.
