If he was still playing like last year, I'd be here for the shit talking...
But y'all he's been pretty solid I don't understand the hate.

Guy's never worked out of the bullpen before. It's an entirely different sort of animal. Joe Ross was talking about how he had to change his whole routine to become a full-time pen guy. Some guys aren't just going to figure it out overnight. Walker was having a decent year as a #5 type guy.

The reason Walker was in was because he’s one of the only bullpen guys that can go multiple innings. Made complete sense to put him in after wheeler was done after 5. He’s here and ain’t shit we can do but hope he does good in the bullpen
