Walker Buehler

I'm gonna go four as well.

What about Casey Mize, Walker Buehler? They gotta go to Colorado to start, but then home against Miami to end the week.

Uh, neither are like great options.

I like Mize a little more, so thinking Mize two, Buehler one.

Jared Jones, four.

Casey Mize, two.

Walker Buehler, one.

Cade Anderson, four.

So somebody's got to get hot the last two weeks, make the playoffs, and then, as we know from the Blue Jays, Last year, especially, you make the playoffs, you got a chance to go to the World Series and maybe even win it because they had every chance to win that last year.

It's like Walker Buehler said, it's not how you play in April, May, it's how you play the final month of the season.

So we'll see what these podgers are made of.

Sorry, go ahead, Darren.

So there's an awful lot of dialogue there.

Yeah, it was a blunder, but, you know, Buehler had started like a house of fire and all of a sudden could not throw strikes and was getting whacked.

So maybe, you know, Stamman said, hey, I was going to pull him until Buehler talked me out of it, but it was too late because he'd already gone to the mound the second time in the inning.

I just question, in the bigger picture... first-year manager, whole new group of people as his aides in that dugout have never been doing this before.

They've had a lot of mistakes.

And they needed both runs because Mason Miller had given up a run in the top of the 10th when he went two innings in a rare two-inning outing.

But this is – Walker Buehler also had a nice start for the Padres, five innings, six Ks.

He just does Walker Buehler things when he's allowed to.

Yeah, he continues to be really steady.

The Kempisano stuff, I wrote about him on the site this week.

He was going to be

one of the next aces, kind of like how they talked about Walker Buehler.

Yeah, and I get your point.

I know what you're saying in terms of do you start believing your own hype? Do you start looking at social media? But if you just look at it as just in terms of I was on the major league roster as a starting pitcher, and now I spent the majority of my year, even though I'm coming back from an injury, I spent the majority of my year in the minor leagues.

He doesn't have a chance to talk his way back into the game.

Walker Buehler, veteran guy, 19 games left in the season, still plenty of game left.

Maybe you have that discussion at that point.

In the postseason, there is no discussion.

Yeah.

I really enjoyed that from Walker Buehler 'cause you can tell he's like, "Ah, I don't, I'm not falling for this.

Getting me outta here."

Dude, what did you think, though, on, on Stammen's, listen, it's, it's fine because the Padres won that game-

...

the manager doesn't even know how many mound visits are going on in an important game, and can you imagine if that was somebody who let's say, uh, was more embraceable.

There's still some people that don't like Walker Buehler because of his time with the Dodgers, um, you know, and his season I think has been underrated, but if you look at just the raw numbers, there's nothing really-

They've won 20 games

But yesterday was one of those days where the Padres simply took care of business.

Walker Buehler only gave you two, two innings, but he also gave up the two runs that they got in his two and a third.

Kyle Hart was great yesterday.

Morgan was great yesterday.
