Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 (2024 Edition)

[Svechhammer]

That should be the last game for Walker as a Phillie. DFA him tomorrow, eat the cost and move on. He's absolutely cooked, has nothing left in the tank, and the entire team just mails it in during his games because they all know there is no point in trying when he's good to give up 10+ runs.

So what you're telling me, is that he'll get his next start?

 

[Schwarbomb]

That was a forfeit game if there ever was one.

No WAY those aren't satirical names making fun of old timey baseball nicknames

Walker literally stood in front of his locker and complained that he didn't throw an inning in the playoffs last season. That was a real thing that happened.

Ooh that would be a fun game.

What would the old timey baseball nickname for 2024 Taijuan Walker be?

Here's some we came up with

Taijuan "Flapjack" Walker
Taijuan "Noodle Arm" Walker
Taijuan "Hoot" Walker
Taijuan "Dewdropper" Walker
Taijuan "Sappy" Walker

 

[trostol]

I am not sure Walker would even make a team in backyard baseball

 

[1865]

It's just a surrendered game when he's involved now, that has to be his last game. It has to be.

Taijuan “Top Step” Walker cause that’s where he stood all playoffs as a cheerleader.

Ooh that or Top Shelf Walker, because that's where opposing batters tend to deposit his meatballs

Braves have won 12 of 16

 

[Halladay]

Just split this series and it will be 5 games up with 25 to go. Obviously not impossible to choke but would be difficult to especially as the schedule gets much easier than July and August.

[Danko]

Went to yesterdays game, Walker just lobbin meatballs over the plate. Turrible. Stuck around for the no hitter, left as soon as they got a hit.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Going to the pen.

Going to the pen.

If he comes into any game with the Phillies not leading/trailing by 5 or more runs it's a fail.

I’m guessing this is Dombrowski unwilling to fully admit a mistake here at this point?

She’s been there for like four months now & she’s already had enough.

One of the biggest mysteries to me is how the Pirates have a fan let alone multiple with the way that team is ran.

 

[DancingPanther]

He'll probably be shocked and appalled that he was relegated to the bullpen

At least if a Pirates announcer said "We lose this game and I'm walking home" he wouldn't have had that far to go since it was a home game.

I really don’t get the “but he’s a great guy defense”. It’s not just that he sucks but what also is fueling the fire is him complaining about not being on the playoff roster & liking posts on twitter during the playoffs criticizing Thompson.

I’m not necessarily saying that makes him a bad guy but at the same point it’s hard to try & paint a picture where he’s said & done the right stuff off the field since he’s been here.

Like you threw your manager under the bus after he correctly identified that you weren’t worthy of starting in the playoffs & Sanchez just outplayed you in the second half of last year to deserve that spot.
