The Next Big Thing: Striker Buehler!

No pitcher should ever be called “Walker,” so I have taken the liberty of changing his name to “Striker” Buehler. I thought about spelling his name with a “Y” instead of an “I” but that just wasn’t as effective. Also, if a pitcher struggles with an aspect of his game, like walking too many batters, which Buehler does, you should never call him by his weakness. It’s negative thinking and we can’t have that. Have you ever heard a pitcher be named “Hit Batter” or “Home Run” or “Human Rain Delay?
