you see Walker as making a step forward tonight absolutely uh this is the first night I've seen you know the delivery the tempo um synced up the ball was coming out really well I mean he's worked his tail off with our pitching guys the strength and conditioning guys performance guys to get his body in position to you know throw the baseball the way he threw the ball you know the life of the ball the fast ball was missing batch the direction good and it was like using his body the right way and that's my gosh we haven't seen that in quite some time and um I just and with that you could just see the confidence certainly after that first inning and the second inning um I don't know what team was playing defense that second inning and we certainly didn't help Walker out um but for him to kind of of reset gather himself and still throw the baseball the way he did um was was big for his confidence for us and I'm looking forward to him building on this because uh you know if he keeps in that delivery and then the way he was spinning the baseball the curveball was as good as I've seen it in a couple years the fast ball the the cutter late so yeah he was ripping it tonight what happened on the strike three Will Will just got confused um it bounc in the dirt and he caught it I think he thought that he caught it in the air and so we missed on that one which was more import impressive tonight the first pitch by ecoy or show game decoy I I heard that Decoy was going to throw the first pitch and I just I'm impressed that that dog was already that trained but I guess if it's sh's dog I guess nothing should be surprising so but yeah that was pretty impressive and um but show hey I mean his bobblehead KN to hit a homer again this guy had steal a couple bases I'm telling you it's like any big moment he seems to rise the occasion all right what do you got Eric what do Anthony B Anthony's been great you know we picked him up in a trade um earlier this year and to have a guy to go along with Alex you feel that can get lefties out can manage righties and um he does up downs he's a resilient he's a strike thrower and so just taking some of the load off Alex has been huge and a guy trusts against rightand hitters excuse me as well um just the ability to post he's strong physical um he's bought into our culture and uh he's fit right in just checking on Hudson gate now was he a huy will pitch tomorrow um he was available tonight um I a little bit wanted to give him a mini reset in the sense of he hasn't pitched over 50 games since 2019 so um we needed him to be active and given the off days that we've had we've been able to kind of use other guys to give them you know six or seven days but you know from here on out from Tomorrow out I'm just going to use them as I've always used them but I think that this seven days whatever it is I think is a good reset for him shoulder okay yeah he got hit in the chest and um he can be a little uh yeah he's fine sure he's fine did you hear anything about young yeah uh yoshinobu uh two innings today tonight threw well came out of it good did a third inning I think he threw 10 pitches in the bullpen so um you know hopefully we can get him to three Innings his next outing and then throw another one in the pen after that and then have a real conversation if it makes sense for him to join us thanks guys
