[Gelb] The Phillies are moving Taijuan Walker to the bullpen, Rob Thomson said. They’ll call someone up to start Tuesday in Toronto. Good chance it’s Tyler Phillips.

Great job. Now he can lose us more games a week. Brilliant move Topper.
I still don’t know what I want to do with him for next season. He clearly doesn’t have it. Yes we can release him and just eat the money, but if we give him the offseason and spring training to see if maybe he can work on his issues I won’t hate it.
I mentioned this before, but if he can even show something akin to a Jordan Lyles type player, some bad team will give us something for him. He just didn’t show it, and I almost rather have the offseason and spring training to see if he can show anything.
$18 million dollar mop-up man. This makes Tobias Harris look like a bargain contract
Welp, it’s a start to no more Walker at least
Hopefully we only see him in 7 run games and WHEN we have the 1 seed clinched and want to save arms for the postseason
Put him UNDER the bullpen.
Watch, the SP and rest of the Bullpen pitch a combined no-hitter and Walker gets the nod in the 8th inning of a 10-0 blowout in the Phillies favor. He’ll immediately, somehow, give up like 7 runs in one pitch
Bad man is (kinda) gone
Make him be the BullPen cleaner
Yes, I mean have his job be to literally sweep and mop up inside the BullPen.
Imagine if he comes in and blows a save situation, you realize how much more people are gonna fucking hate him?
Just eat the contract, get rid of his ass
WE WON
WE FINALLY WON
IT TURNS OUT YOU CAN BULLY A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL TEAM INTO DOING STUFF
BAHAHAHAHAHAAA
This is fine as long as people actually hit the ball
Should definitely hold on to him to see if we can finesse a team with a dumbass front office (A’s, White Sox etc) into giving us something for him.
The Bullpen literally means like a place in Spain or South America where they still bullfight right?
Just fucking DFA it is a sunk cost at this point.
Actually saw Phillips’ last outing as an IronPig, aside from giving up a 3-run shot against the Mets he wasn’t so bad. Looking forward to seeing him pitch again.
R/phillies 12/25
This is a step in the right direction, and I’m happy Phillips is getting more time as a result. I’d still prefer he be off the team but I’ll take this for now.
I love Matt Gelb.
No Phillies pitcher had allowed 13 hits without recording a strikeout since Blix Donnelly in 1948.
After 76 years, Blix Donnelly is finally at peace.
FOOLS!!!!!!
His one decent start in the last two months was in London. The guy obviously pitches in metric instead of imperial. I’m ready for a new starter as much as anyone, but this is just bad math… Or science… Or something.
Dear God, thank you for meeting us half-way
He finally found a way to pitch in the 7th
They really think he’s gonna be able to pitch on two consecutive days as a pen pitcher? Yeah right.
Basically he’s replacing Stubbs.
Millions of bettors hitting their betting apps to live bet against the Phils when Walker comes in in the 7th.
I wouldn’t even trust him coming from the bullpen at this point.
RIP THE BANDAID OFF ALREADY
Just what the bullpen needs!
Thank fuck
Not going to help anything. His first inning is notoriously awful, which is why he didn’t come out of the bullpen once last October. And he’s probably going to act like a bitch on social media about this move too, just like last time.
FO needs to stop dancing around the fucking problem
Not good enough.
Yeah they aren’t eating $36M. More than likely they try and pair him with a prospect to move him in the offseason (something like the Marco Gonzales trade). Then hopefully the team can spend the money on an upgrade somewhere.
Finally
He should ONLY pitch in games where we have a large deficit, I don’t even trust this loser with a huge lead he will somehow fuck it up.
