[Music] [Applause] roads media Taiwan Walker sucked more than I ever even thought he would suck think about it think about what the expectations are every time he takes to Mound and somehow he actually underperformed there were only two swinging misses I was actually thinking about this if I was on the other team if I was someone in the front office of the other team if you were one of those men that swung and Miss you're gone you're gone Taiwan Walker is so lost that he's delusional when he talks to the media and says things are getting better because he didn't feel the exit velocity was as bad as it has been he hasn't been getting hit as hard yeah instead of 130 off the bat it's 108 who whoop the damn dude that's how destroyed and annihilated Taiwan Walker truly is he went six Innings and didn't even strike one guy out he allowed 13 hits how do you not strike out one guy by accident so the Phillies got exactly what they deserved and I'm not even going to get mad at the hitters because when the front office tells the team we're throwing this one away in the trash before it even begins it's not their fault it's not their fault you have to try and score a thousand runs it's funny I heard a little bit of the crossover between Ben Davis and the crew that was inside the um NBC Sports Philadelphia Studios with John CR and Ben Davis asked the question about why it looked as if the offense was going out there taking massive hacks and just swinging for the fences I'll tell you why because Taiwan Walker is going to allow 13 hits and not strike out one person in six Innings the fourth inning is going to make everyone collapse and disgusted around the Delaware Valley that's why I don't know how oh tve's first step out of the day didn't go over the wall he ends up scoring anyway when Bryce Harper fell asleep at first when they threw the ball over to First trying to get someone sleeping there with the lead don't even get me started on your down Alvarez you're Don Alvarez excuse me I'm so I'm so down bad why why do I have to do this what you can't allow the Phillies front office to do is get away with this nonsense and I figured there would be fans who feel this way I can't rationalize this thought but I want to use this individual sharef who tweeted into me around 7:30 tonight they wanted their four best starters to go for Atlanta plus they accomplished what they needed by winning two out of three that's pathetic pathetic if you walk away and allow for that to be the takeaway it's almost September people you're in a race right now hate to break it to you that cute little Le you once had is slowly slipping away and I don't think they'll lose it but when you win four straight and when things are actually starting to look good keep it going because this is crushing and it could it could be something that really hurts the Mojo of this group 10 nothing you were almost no hit before Austin Hayes got on base and I was kind of rooting for it because I want the Phillies to to feel pain to feel pain we deserve better as fans we deserve a product on the field where you're actually trying and going to Taiwan at this point you're not trying you're waving the white flag and this was obvious maybe two or three starts ago he's got a 914 91 7 I almost gave him a little help I almost gave him a little cushion 917 is his erra in his last four starts enough is enough I'm aware that teams will have more patience than a fan base and we as a collective unit will probably want things to be done sooner than they should with that said come on you can't sugarcoat this anymore he can't even generate swings and misses ever he can't miss bats he can't put guys away and if it wasn't for Garrett stubs and that electric throw down the second base to get Jose Altuve trying to snag a bag probably could have been n nothing when it was 6 nothing it's it's a joke I was actually excited for a late evening game in the middle of the week and it's funny because my wife and I just got a couple of trees planted in our backyard and I have to make sure I spend five minutes or so watering each tree each day so I put the hose out there but there's so many mosquitoes that are hanging around that area that I can't stand out there and do it myself so what I do is I get the hose I put it where the roots are of the tree and then I go inside so I don't get eaten alive because I've gotten destroyed I'd say over like the last week of doing this I had to come up with a new method every single time I left and came back in which it only takes about 15 seconds to change where the hose is I come back in it's two nothing I come back in they're checking to see if the Home Run was uh was um interfered with by the fans or not and then and then I leave it's 6 nothing I come back it's 4 nothing I come back it's eight n what the hell no every time I go leave Taiwan Walker getting crushed and tattooed again it's no surprise it's probably good for my mental health to not actually consume that trash but that was the clip and the rate that it was happening for Houston and I'm sorry but the goal once you win the first two isn't to just pretend the last game doesn't matter the goal is to sweep them sweep them why should I be satisfied with punting a game away because they already won two this offense had no shot had no hope and they looked that way I even saw some that were excited that he at least went six because there was so much trouble happening through four that it was going to burn the bullpen anyway and then when he gets through six I I saw clapping hands emojis clapping hands emojis put those emojis and shove it up the ass of the people who are making some of these decisions and I don't know who actually has final say on this I know topper was discussing how he feels bad for Taiwan cuz he is trying and when he was on that ilil stint he tried to work on something things to help out the velocity and to try new things and I get that I do think Taiwan is giving what he has what he has sucks though and whoever is forcing him to go out there whether it's Dave dumbrowski or anybody else because they're spending a lot of money for his contract we deserve better and honestly at this point it's like when a goalie allows in hockey six goals at some point you save them from yourself that's your job John tordella let me pull whoever our goalie is at the time put in our backup because it's kind of getting embarrassing and I get it Taiwan Walker hasn't taken the right paths ever since he got here okay he hasn't made all the proper decisions but at some point the guy doesn't have abits not only do you have to do yourself right and do your players right your everyday guys right but I think there's a sense of urgency or should be there should be a sense of urgency to to get him out of his own way if that makes sense he stinks and I got a lot of Mets fans saying I told you so even when he was in New York though it wasn't this he's he's not a major league pitcher there were times where he may have not have been perfect and he might have got roughed up a little bit but there were still reasons to believe that he can be in a rotation as a fourth guy or a fifth guy in a Major League Baseball rotation he had 20 first pitch strikes of the 28 batters that he faced 20 first pitch strikes so he's working with 01 counts that makes these numbers even more mind-numbing that's the name of the game workout in front he's legitimately working out in front he's he's starting at bats oh0 for 0 and one i0 and one and can't do a damn thing with with it holy hell you can't make this stuff up so as I mentioned to start the program it's even worse than we ever could have even imagined and think about the ones who spent money to go to this game who sat out in the heat to go to this game I was actually thinking about it do I maybe hop on seek geek use promo code broads get $20 off and find myself sitting at CBP this afternoon then I went to the weather went H okay I don't know and then I'm like oh wait a second it's Taiwan Walker that stiff doesn't deserve my time [Music]
