Man, oh man, does this team need an innings eater.
If you’re not a baseball person, please bear with me for a second. Taijuan Walker, despite not appearing in playoff game in 2023, played a big role for the Philadelphia Phillies. He started 31 games for the Phillies over the summer, giving them an ERA of 4.38 (slightly below average) over 172.2 innings, leading the team with 15 wins.
He did a perfectly fine job, taking the field consistently over a months-long regular season to help keep his team afloat while keeping the big arms adequately rested for the postseason.
