Witnesses in the report said Giles and Olvera had an argument at the bar. Giles then left the bar, came back after two minutes, grabbed Olvera and forced her to walk out. In the hallway to the exit, witnesses say Giles raised his right hand and hit Olvera on the back of her neck and side of her face, forcing her to the ground. The video shows a person hitting the ground in the hallway.

Giles and the Padres had flown to Arizona that day after a 6-3 loss at Colorado in which Giles went 1-for-4 including a solo home run in the ninth inning. The Padres began a series with the Arizona Diamondbacks the next day.

In the wake of the incident, Olvera didn’t cooperate with police. “I wish you guys wouldn’t do anything about it,” she told police, according to the report.

So when you’re reading it, you go, “Oh my lord, the brutality!…..Hey, nice late inning home run…….Oh, that monster!”

I hope Giles has a terrible year. He deserves it. And it’s not like the Pads are going to be any good to where it would matter.

We get so much leaked, it’s amazing this wasn’t out. We know if the FO knew, we would have known.

How DID that stay out of the press?

I’m with J Dub. Giles is dead to me. There is just no excuse. That’s two photos down off the ’fridge from old photo days of Alex with players: Greene & Giles. Only Hoffman, Peavy & Piazza are left.

The documented event of abuse happened in 06 its a little to late to invoke the ethics clause after he has been producing for the team for the past two years…Also the new developments are not criminal charges.

It’s about the chick claiming that Giles and her had a non-marital relationship contract where he promised to pay for her and take care of her. See Marvin v. Marvin 18 Cal.3d 660 (1976).

I doubt this suit goes very far and if the chick gets anything it will be a small amount in settlement.
