Skeptical. But would be a game changer if he could put it together.

Re: Walker talking about preparing for season:
Only thing he needs to change is recognizing a slider. Not sure I’ve seen a guy struggle laying off that pitch as much as Walker. He starts laying off that (bleep), he has a punchers chance.

Re: Walker talking about preparing for season:
If I was Olli, and I am not for those wondering, I’m telling Walker…and Gorman for that matter that you are playing everyday. You both are getting 500+ at bats. So one of two things is going to happen:
1) You’re gonna make some fixes and be capable MLB players
2) You’re going to embarrass yourself out of the league this year
So unless you want to spend the rest of your careers on a bus traveling to towns like Tucson, Batavia and Pensacola to play ball you better figure some (bleep) out.

Yeah like he's been "practicing it" for the last two years.Cardinals1964 wrote: ↑15 Feb 2026 22:25 pmThat’s why you practice it.11WSChamps wrote: ↑15 Feb 2026 20:40 pm If he has to think about all the things he needs or believes he needs to correct he'll never hit.
From what I know about hitting the more you have to think the worse off you're going to be.

500+ AB might be tough when they have scheduled days off three times week.hornetfb52 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2026 09:25 am If I was Olli, and I am not for those wondering, I’m telling Walker…and Gorman for that matter that you are playing everyday.
