Gino again says he would rather have Walters close. Feels like he’s just waiting for three weekend starters to prevent him from having to start Walters.

Nice to hear the players talk about changes to approaches and coaching styles

I didn't realize his brother joined the team. Also didnt know his uncle is Matt Walters from the Football team. Cane family.

 

[Da Jumbo Mutombo]

Am i missing something with Jack Skanlon. Impact transfer?

Baseball is just a part time gig for Trooper Walters. Still, the AOD picked up first team all American by BA.

Lol - he does have that Bob Gibson fear-inducing stare when he comes in to close. Like Gino, I hope we can keep him in that role.

He's a veteran backstop that has hit .180 in his career and has a tendency to throw to the left of second base. So no. JD has been the better catcher from what I've seen.

 

[Geddy Lee]

I'd rather have Walters close. It's automatically game over when he's in. Ziehl for the 8th, Walters for the 9th.

Yea, seems like a questionable take. Whats the rational there.

Be a nice luxury, but my guess is Ziehl is in the weekend rotation.

 

[HurricanePhilly]

Hopefully we at least have 1 starter who is basically an automatic 7 with a chance to win. If not we cant piece games together all year.
