you guys to death and enjoy the show they got what they deserve today an absolute ass whooping 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 the 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 one 30 off the bat it's 108 whoop the damn dud 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 gonna 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 th000 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 krook and Ben Davis asked a 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 in disgust around the Delaware Valley that's why I don't know how altuve'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 the first trying to get someone sleep in there with the lead don't even get me started on your down Alvarez your Don Alvarez excuse me I'm 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're almost no hit before Austin Hayes got on base and I was kind of rooting for it because I want the Phillies to uh 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 914 917 I almost gave him 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 Garett stubs and that electric throw down the second base to get Jose Altuve trying to snag a bag probably could have been nine nothing when it was six 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 at 4 nothing I come back it's eight8 nothing what the hell every time I go leave Taiwan workers 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 getss 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 because he is trying and when he was on that ilil stint he tried to work on some 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 goal allows in hockey six goals at some point you save them from yourself that's your job John torella 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 itss 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 right now I I guess what you do is you throw him in the pen and ask him to pitch in game games that are already blown out of proportion it's the fifth in imagine what happens when Taiwan Walker pitches and then you have to go to someone just to eat up the rest of the game that's what Taiwan Walker is now he's the guy that cleans up the Taiwan Walker disgusting pathetic terrible [ __ ] horrible starts I guess if he's even going to still be here I would just snip it I would just say forget about it his presence is toxic just because he can't perform unless he is so down bad right now that the fellas just feel so awful for him that it's no longer toxic cuz he's a douche or he's a bad teammate to Rob it's probably past that now and it's more of all right I actually feel bad for him so I don't know if his presence is still as draining if they're just going to remove him from the rotation and he's still here but maybe it is maybe just the smell of Taiwan Walker is enough for everyone to walk in the clubhouse holy [ __ ] it stinks in here it stinks like hot trash I'm looking at you 99 what else was there 13 hits oh he had 20 first pitch strikes of the 28 batters that he faced 20 first pitch strikes so he's working with 01 count that makes these numbers even more mind-numbing that's the name of the game work out in front he's legitimately working out in front he's he's starting at bats 0 for 0 and one 0 and one and can't do a damn thing 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 I would have just went to crush some water ice get a nice ice cream with the helmet and jimmies you know what I'm saying ah so yeah there you go potential streak killed in my eyes this Atlanta series is no joke and if they come out with no energy and they look flat I'm going to be aggravated and I'm probably going to rely right back to what we just witnessed in this series because the organization said we didn't care about it we didn't care about it and the Braves are doing some good things against the twins out in Minnesota at the time of this recording they're winning the final game one- nothing in the middle of the fifth so there's still a lot of things that can go down to sway that final one they already took the series though scoring 10 runs in the first game scoring eight runs in the second game winning in Extra Innings on Tuesday night and this is after they won a series against the Phillies after they won a series against the Nationals so they're starting to string together wins it's a big big test this is going to tell us a lot about the mental makeup of this group are they going to fold and look like absolute bums and get overwhelmed by the pressure and now that the Atlanta Braves are somewhat playing spoiler this time and the roles are reversed even though it's not playoffs yet but you know for the most part over the last couple of years the Braves were the team to beat the Phillies were The Little Engine That Could and then they were able to do it well we're we're working ourselves closer to that time of the year the Braves are on the road in a hostile environment looking for their NL East Crown the Phillies have looked better over the last two series but have not been performing the way that they should for a while now and the Braves are extremely banged up Little Engine That Could a lot of people probably counting them out because of all the injuries and they're playing some decent ball right now I don't know what to expect and maybe that's the problem maybe that's troubling maybe that's everything you need to know that I'm not walking into this series in front of your own crowd 40,000 people knowing that you're going to have the answers you have the solutions I hope they do and it's not impossible for them to have it but I don't know something feels off to me and maybe I'm just put in a in a in a tough spot tonight because I'm living in the recency biased of an hour ago the final game ended and I had to watch Taiwan and you got to remember that the next time someone takes them M it's not Taiwan it is Christopher Sanchez now lucky for the fields they escape Chris Sail once again and that is a huge huge series changer in this four game set that could be the difference in splitting that could be the difference in three and one or one and three Christopher Sanchez goes against Charlie Morton to kick things off Thursday night I'm looking forward to it I am so I don't know if I just feel this weird negative energy just because Taiwan Walker just left the mound or what but I need to see something significant from this group over these next four games this is it this is it this could potentially be the difference in winning the division or not put him away let's make this a laughing joke punch him hard and put it to bed put it to rest make anyone who feels nervous and anxious right now make them look stupid make me look dumb I'm rooting for it kill them so then we don't even have to wonder if you have the balls or not that's what I I really want to see this series is for the division know that going in we're going to take your anytime hotline calls before we do though this

let's go to the anytime hotline and hear from the people okay bro first time long time what the hell are we doing with Walker on the freaking Mound six nothing the guy's a [ __ ] loser trade him for a sixpack we'd make out in that deal that ain't right you're telling me six code ones with the mountains blue is better than what I it is it is it is I'm just being a good person you know me hey I'm always there for the people mankind that's what that you know I I I look out for others I can't be bashing them too hard I'm with you I'm with you I know enough is enough I've been screaming since I've been blew in the face three weeks ago about this nonsense I went on a rant recently on the radio about how disturbing it is that this guy continues to get opportunities and we literally had to look at Rob Thompson about five six days ago where he's telling us that he was encouraged by his velocity let me ask you something topper were you encouraged by his velocity today there's nothing ever to be encouraged about when you're sniffing a 10 er in your last four starts they lost nine consecutive times that he takes the mound nine how did we even get to nine after four after five after six after 7 you think that would be a wakeup call you think that would be that obnoxious alarm on everybody's iPhone when you wake up in the morning at 6:00 a.m. and you're like [ __ ] [ __ ] I don't want to get up right now well that's what should have been said when when you lost six six six in a row of him taking the out Dave debrowski should be saying [ __ ] I don't want to start him anymore and and actually do something about it I don't care if it's Tyler Phillips I don't care if it's any other name even if it's a name that gets you the same result what you can't do right now is constantly Trot that mess out there because it makes a poor statement to your team and yeah it it might suck to throw out guys because let's be honest marcado's name might have been mentioned prior to seeing what he allowed in this effort and you got a similar result which is I mean the ball was flying out of the ballpark at will and maybe that's what happened but but it can't be Taiwan we're at the point now where it can literally not be him and if it's the next guy then I'll have a few words to say about that as well and I'll look at Dave debrowski and say you really screwed up the trade deadline because it's not just hindsight it's not just watching now with vision looking backwards there were plenty of reasons to wonder if it was a good idea to bring in a a a veteran in your pitching staff at the deadline and there's a reason why Jack flarity was on the move and Jack flarity is no world beater by any means but what he can do especially when you were dealing with Ranger Suarez you were dealing with guys who haven't eaten a lot of innings you were dealing with Taiwan Walker's disgusting efforts he's 10- six with a three erra this season just to give you a little example of some of his most recent starts he's on the Dodgers now he pitched yesterday in a 3-2 loss he went five innings allowed three earned runs oh sorry what did I he went six Innings and allowed three earned runs I say five he went six Innings and allowed three earned runs he gave you a quality start on the 21st in a win against the Seattle Mariners he went five and two3 and allowed one earned run on August 15th he pitched in Milwaukee went five innings allowed three earn runs Oakland is terrible he went six allow no earned runs against Pittsburgh he got hit decent allowed nine hits in five and two3 but did strike out 10 look I'm not telling you it is the greatest in the world but compare that to what Taiwan Walker does that's all I'm looking for right now and I was pretty adamant about it at the time I like the the idea of getting an arm I like the idea of getting someone because at the time I still had believed that Spencer turbo could come back and he can help you out in the Ben they have more knowledge on that stuff behind the scenes than I do from an outsider looking in so that would have to factor into the equation when they're looking at what other moves they can make at the deadline with relief pitching come on this is terrible it really is let's go to Carman BR I'm driving home I had listen that entire sport Ting on my white right back from work and I can tell you this right now I never ever ever ever want to see a Taiwan Walker in a [ __ ] phage uniform ever again if he if I don't see a notification at the end of this after this game that says that ton Walker has been released or desate for assignment this is 100% Dave dumbrowski I don't care how much you're P paying him $ 17 million e the 17 million he can't [ __ ] pitch or save his goddamn life you can throw any pitcher anyone Triple A even Nick AEL or Griff McGary who have five ER all right I'd rather throw them out there and throw them out on the fire then have Taiwan Walker pitch another [ __ ] game for this team this was an automatic loss I get that I'll take two out three out Houston but you know what if if he is not released or if there a first assment by the end of this game we had some serious serious problems with Dave dbras we need to discuss here I love it dude I love love the absolute fire I appreciate the call one thing I'm not going to do and I saw a few running around with this on social media is and they're tongue and cheek obviously but they're going to start a a GoFundMe so we can pay John Middleton and pay Taiwan Walker the money so John Middleton doesn't have to eat any losses get the hell out of here eat the loss it's not on us this guy's got a billion dollars you let Dave dski make this decision and he makes a lot of good decisions once in a while the good ones Miss once in a while Howie Roseman screws up once in a while you're going to see failures from men that you put a lot of faith into like Dave dembrowski when that's the case it's not on us to have to all throw a dollar into the jar to come up with 178 million to worry about this guy's aav and worry about the years on the deal that's not what we should be doing that's on you go sell some of your cigars figure it out figure it out dive into the piggy bank for your rainy day fund if your poor little rainy day fund unfortunately has to go to Taiwan to not Pitch for you sorry wasn't the idea getting the damn trophy back if the idea is getting the damn trophy back then you have to make decision like this to get him away because he's toxic as my friend Britney Spears would say listen they did it again to us and what I mean is they did what they were supposed to do results wise win a series a big series and that's backto back solid Series wins against against two very respected opponents but due to how it ended they left an awful taste in her mouth again and that's what this team has become even when they do things right they do things wrong to re on your parade that's how they operate that's the team currently and that's okay to feel that way by the way they're making decisions to force us to have this nastiness that follows us right now you can't pitch Taiwan Walker you cannot pitch Taiwan Walker I said that last time and then they pitched him again because they were encouraged they actually use that word encouraged okay bro I'm calling the fourth inning so I don't exactly know what's gonna happen the rest of the game um but I just want to say I'm actually glad that Taiwan Walker pitched so horribly today I didn't want him to go out there and have a fluke performance and then him get three or four more starts and three or four more chances to screw up again because he is just so bad so surely surely he's not going to be pitching anymore um obviously the games matter and I wish we could have got a dub but um at least taiwan's gone hopefully if anybody has a brain see you I think he's gone I think he's gone maybe this is a hot take maybe not but I didn't want him to stink only because sweeping the Astros after beating the Kansas City Royals and winning five in a row heading into Atlanta I wanted the Good Vibes going I mean at the end of the day I do want this team to win and while maybe that did mean he'd get another start under his belt I guess this is the way I would justify work with me here if Taiwan did good this start and bad the next start because this would just be Fool's Gold that means in two starts out of your fifth spot in the rotation you'd get a good one and a bad one if you bring up Tyler Phillips hypothetically and Taiwan stunk miserably this game like he did and Tyler Phillips gets another opportunity and he fails miserably then you'd be getting two starts out of your fifth spot that were miserable and no good ones where if Walker pitched good in this game we'd at least have one good one no maybe Tyler Phillips could have one good one and you'd still get the same result maybe but I I I do want good mojo heading into Atlanta and this crumbles the Mojo a little bit timing is important and it's really more about me right now looking at the timing of them finally really looking good again they started to do Sensational things over the last couple of games four or five games or so it was smooth we were transition back the good ball and I I I wish that just continued for another day heading into your biggest rival in a series that I claimed was the best or excuse me was the uhu the biggest and what could maybe swing the NL East and the champion of the NL East so I didn't want him to stink even if that didn't mean he'd grab one more start or two more starts I do want him to succeed so better outcome and and I know you want that to I know you want the Phillies to win and that's your end goal I get I I get that I get that that view of you know oh I you know I want him to fail so that the change can happen because inevitably he's not strong enough and you're right you're right he's not strong enough no matter if he pitched well or didn't pitch well but I know that and if I could squeeze a start out of him that I could at least respect in a time of need in my eyes with the Braves coming in next I would take that so maybe that's a hot take maybe it's not that's how I feel all right everybody that's going to do it appreciate you hanging out and I will catch you all on the next one
