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

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.

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.

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.
