Yep.

Kerry CrowleyHOST
Yeah.
Kerry CrowleyHOST
Reaver Sam Martine.
Kerry CrowleyHOST
I should have gotten Dylan Smith.
Connor GrossmanHOST
You want to guess? This is the last one I'll leave you with.
Connor GrossmanHOST
Ryan Walker, the incumbent, the opening day closer, has how many saves for the 2026 San Francisco Giants? Two.
Connor GrossmanHOST
Three.
Cole KuiperHOST
Um, couple of transactions, couple of up and downs over the past few days.
Cole KuiperHOST
Um, they added what? Joel Kunal, uh, Phillip Abner, and Brett Harris, while optioning Ryan Walker, Braxton Roxby, and Zach Morgan.
Alex PavlovicHOST
I mean, we literally have one right now that they DFA'd Spencer-
Cole KuiperHOST
Break it
Jeff EricksonHOST
Um, that is your fourth one.
Jeff EricksonHOST
We got one more here, and it's talking yourself into Ryan Walker at the bottom end of a closer tier.
Jeff EricksonHOST
Something you talked about could happen next year with Riley O'Brien.
Jeff EricksonHOST
Ryan Walker was the, his predecessor
Fred ZinkieGUEST
predecessorActually, the more I looked at, as we were talking, the more I looked at main event ADP.
Fred ZinkieGUEST
Forget Riley O'Brien going in round nine or 10.
Fred ZinkieGUEST
Like, so-
Jeff EricksonHOST
Yeah
Jake CrumplerHOST
But let's, l- let's get into the transactions, starting with Joel Kuhnel, 100 mile per hour Kuhnel, who was activated from the 15-day IL after missing some time with a, with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
Jake CrumplerHOST
He was then designated for assignment by the Brewers, and then claimed by the Giants, who optioned Ryan Walker to the minors in a corresponding move.
Jake CrumplerHOST
I don't have a ton of faith in Joel Kuhnel becoming somebody that's trusted, but he does have six saves on the season, and I think he's better than most of the relievers in that Giants bullpen.
Jake CrumplerHOST
And the Brewers have sort of, uh, pulled from him a higher upside with that velocity.

Alex PavlovicHOST
Uh, they make a move during this Mets series.
Alex PavlovicHOST
You know, waiver claim, Ryan Walker gets optioned, and like it's...
Alex PavlovicHOST
They just keep doing this.
Alex PavlovicHOST
But I, when you go through that list of 31, and we mentioned some of these guys who we're, we're seeing for the first time.
Cole KuiperHOST
Yeah
Alex PavlovicHOST
... you know.
Alex PavlovicHOST
Ryan Walker, you got your opportunities the last few days and you get sent out.
Alex PavlovicHOST
Like Spencer Bivens, even though he hasn't really been here, you got your...
Matthew HenryHOST
I don't know.
Matthew HenryHOST
Anyway, they claimed him off of waivers and Ryan Walker wasn't good enough.
Matthew HenryHOST
To stay on the team.
Matthew HenryHOST
So they demoted him to AAA for a guy that's on his third team this year.
Kerry CrowleyHOST
Uh, let's see.
Connor GrossmanHOST
Ryan Walker.
Kerry CrowleyHOST
Ryan Walker, for sure.
Connor GrossmanHOST
Ooh.
Kerry CrowleyHOST
No Randy Rodriguez.
Greg PetersonHOST
Revere Sam Martin, two runs, one of which was earned in his inning of work.
Greg PetersonHOST
You had Ryan Walker give up a run in that inning.
Greg PetersonHOST
And then a squirrel setting out of Trent Harris.
Greg PetersonHOST
Meanwhile, for the Pirates, this was pretty solid out of the just piecemeal Alfred here.
32 MINS LATER
Greg PetersonHOST
And for the San Francisco Giants, they don't back up Wilkinson with much of a bullpen whatsoever as I.N.G.T. Burbaker, Matt Gage, Sam Entages, Randy Rodriguez are all on the end of the list.
Greg PetersonHOST
Dylan Smith has been able to give you a sub-350 already, but Jason Foley has been rough.
Greg PetersonHOST
Ryan Walker, well above a for ERA for Wilkinson a young gun pitcher who's pitching to a lot of contact he's only gotten six strikeouts and 11 and two-thirds innings but one home run two walks per nine innings I liked what I saw at the minor league level from him so I'm gonna be in on the under especially with the Mets being dead last in the National League in terms of run creation now you get Juan Soto back gives you over 375 on base 20 plus home runs despite the injuries and Carson Bench has been a little bit better hitting about a 275 He's been able to give you like 17, 18 home runs.
Greg PetersonHOST
So that's been able to help this team out.
Brad EvansHOST
So that's, that's going to be the harder part too, but man, it's, It's just audition season.
Brad EvansHOST
And audition season where I said earlier today, I've seen Ryan Walker.
Brad EvansHOST
I don't want to see him audition anymore.
Garrett GonzalesHOST
You know, we have not seen a major league baseball strike happen to where you have guys who are not major league players, a.k.a. scrubs, playing.
Garrett GonzalesHOST
They don't have guys who are going to be on any highlight reel films.
Garrett GonzalesHOST
Maybe they have some good stories, but we're just running it out until the season's over.
Garrett GonzalesHOST
And you talked about Ryan Walker.
Garrett GonzalesHOST
Yeah.
