I can’t imagine being a player in this team knowing Walker sucks and feeling good about going into a game. Like it’s pretty deflating knowing he’s going to get blasted and only way we can win is if we explode for runs. i know most athletes will say they can win every game doesn’t matter but i can’t imagine psychologically there isn’t a letdown seeing him.
August 28, 20242 yr Walker’s stat line today is ridiculous - 6 ER, 13 hits, ZERO strikeouts in 6 innings

Plus you got painter coming next year. Bullpen is a different story cause I’m guessing we all probably didn’t think Alvarado would be as awful this year as he has been. If he was fine then their bullpen is actually set. Alvarado is broken. Maybe he is gone so they can clone him like in that movie the 3rd wheel or whatever with Schwarzenegger and the mustard guy. Alvarado will come back better

August 28, 20242 yr Also not sure why Michael Mercado is on this roster. Much better to have allard or covey than Mercado.

August 28, 20242 yr Arighetti is not even a good pitcher that's what makes it even worse. The team clearly doesn't give a F today because they saw Thomson send Walker out there who gives up six runs a game.

The team clearly doesn't give a F today because they saw Thomson send Walker out there who gives up six runs a game. I think that’s part of it. I think the other part is they’re just not very consistent at hitting. You saw it in the series. Game one they didn’t hit particularly well. They only scored 3 runs. Most of the night they weren’t good. Today they scored zero and looks like they couldn’t hit crap. The only game where they looked decent was game 2. And you can make the argument it really looked good because Castellanos hit a 3 run homer

I’m not a Walker fan, don’t think he should be in the rotation, and think he’s generally going to let them down from here on out. But the sheer law of averages and the nature of some players, particularly pitchers, delivering a strong last gasp with their backs against the wall…I bet everyone gets a surprise tomorrow. A too little too late out of nowhere really good start. So this was not my all time best take.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I kind of think the teamwide showing today was a bit of a statement on the decision to start walker.
