Keep trotting out Walker you dumb fucks. At this rate, we can only hope the POS suffers a career ending injury because Thomson and Dombrowski are content to keep watching him lose games.

Turner andTijuan. There’s a twosome.
Heading for oblivion
This collapse will make 1964/look like a Disney movie
What a pathetic bunch of underachieving overpaid bums

Someone should lose their job over the entire Taijuan Walker thing.

And yet soome,including Thomson will mealymouth defend this horrific brand of so-called Major League Baseball
What a unlikeable team they become over the past 8 weeks

Walker shouldn’t pitch another game this season. Just put him on the 60 day Ill to save face.

Atlanta will be only 5 back after tonight.

At this point, I have little doubt this team completely collapses down the stretch. It's been months and this team has shown little to no signs that they are anywhere close to snapping out of this poor play.

I've been against firing Kevin Long, but I'm not sure how else a message can be sent to the players without someone on the coaching staff being fired. Then again, I doubt Thomson is even capable of doing that.
