Met him once at a hotel and I think you’re on to something.

I mean he spoke candidly and truthfully. Can't blame him. Maybe his frustration with Walker is at the boiling point.

Doesn't seem that Walker wants to learn or put in the effort to be a good ball player. Doesn't seem like he watches video or practice much.

Maybe he's just lazy or stupid or both

Just another example of the [censored] that is MO-RAN'S legacy....terrible roster and coaching staff..Walker is either stupid, stubborn or just isn't that good..

On the contrary, Jordan Walker is highly intelligent.

Possible, but seems unlikely, as I read that his parents are Ivey League graduates.

“He doesn’t study the opposing relievers! That’s why his OPS is .587!”

Please.

I have a question, Brant. Why are your hitters WORST in the mlb vs fastballs?

maybe it isn’t just the cards screwing up his development
If that were the case, it would mean the CT hive-mind has been wrong for three years, and that can't be true.

My guess is he’s an overthinker and probably too stubborn for his own good.

Did anyone here actually listen to the interview? Brown and Marmol didn't sound angry at all. Seemed like they were trying to be pretty diplomatic but also transparent. It did not appear pre-meditated or calculated, and it acually felt like they had not considered at all how this might be portrayed in the media.

My overarching takeaway is not actually at all about JW, it's about how thoughtless and dumb Marmol/Brown are to say things like this without any apparent care for the consequences. It literally cannot accomplish one productive thing, and will likely lead to multiple downsides both for the player and the team. Cause most human beings simply don't respond to well to public humiliation.

Brant Brown's job is on the line, too. If Walker isn't doing his part, why should Brown be fired for it?

On the other hand, if it is not true, then Brown's job should be on the line.
Good managers and coaches never throw a player under the bus publically.
TOXIC CULTURE proven yet again.
Amazing how good I am at this stuff.

In their positions, Marmol and Brown may fancy themselves as the ones sitting atop the horse cracking the reins. Carrying out the orders from Grand Wizard MO. They aren't good leaders. Hopefully Bloom is allowed to make changes after the season. If 2026 is truly the rebuild year, it wouldn't make sense at all to have Marmol as a lame duck. Time to get rid of both of them and create a new culture. As bad as Walker has been, Brown is more expendable and he should know it.

There was one time Matheny found out he was (unfortunately) more expendable than Dexter Fowler.

I think everyone is missing the point here.
Isn't Brant Brown a bit over his ski's.
The entire [fork]ing team is lost when it comes to hitting.
I agree Walker sucks, but so does about everyone else too.
What's their excuse.

What did Marmol say?
