Braves lose again today. Walker needs to pitch well today, could grab another game on the Braves

Either way they have a dependable 4th starter and their thinking that it's smart to move him to the pen is going to come back to bite them at some point.

Why will it bite them?  How would you handle it?

Dump walker on some stupid team that will take his contract

You can never have too much pitching.  Why go thin and expose yourself to injury risk?

😆 Walker 

Walker velocity is down. Leaves it too much over the plate with little movement.

They have a dependable 4th starter and are putting him in the pen. Moving him to the pen could cost them games for one. Also, if someone gets hurt as you mentioned pitchers are a delicate bunch. Will they be able to move him back and have him pick up where he left off?

Bottom line is don't screw up a good thing.

I really think this is a Dombrowski decision. Word was going around Turnbull was gonna be in the rotation and then all of a sudden nope he’s in the pen. There’s no reason other than the injury history but you also have to go with your gut and if Turnbull has the confidence and wants the ball you give him the ball. You go with the hot player every time. I don’t think Topper wanted to move him based on his performance alone

Marsh is awesome. That mic’d up with the players while playing is pretty cool

🫶 Bryce! 

If we can somehow get Castellanos going would be huge. If he’s the same by the trade deadline i think you make a move for a bat. 

Walker has a nice lead to work with. He better not ef it up.

Can we get Hjelle at the deadline? He’s their best pitcher

This ump sucks. Both of those pitches to Rojas weren’t close to strikes. 

and then Walker hits the corner much closer and calls it a ball. 

Idk what walker’s era is in the 7th inning but it’s not good 

For the 2nd straight game, Thomson throws Walker out for the 7th inning and for the 2nd straight game, he gives up a titanic homerun. Walker is AT BEST a 6 inning pitcher. Count your blessings you got 6 solid innings from him and hand it to the bullpen from there.

Over 15 or somewhere around there 

Soto and Dominguez are the same guy. Both of them are horrific with consistency. 

I can’t stand some of our guys in the pen

Neither are trustworthy.

Ya the Phillies are gonna need to add a bullpen piece at the deadline. Unless these two completely turn it around. Which really they’ve been much of the same since start of 2023

Get Hjelle 

Rojas had 2 chances tonight to make great plays and failed. Granted, they were both tough but that's supposedly why he is out there and not in the minors.

Hoffman is damn good.

Walker’s movement is video game-like.
