Taijuan Walker addressed the media after Wednesday night’s redundant outing against the Astros and tried to look at the bigger picture, speaking highly of the Phillies’ offense and looking forward to the postseason chase while knowing all too well he might not be there to see it.
Rob Thomson addressed the media a few minutes earlier and didn’t exactly shoot down the possibility that he won’t.
“We gotta talk about it,” the manager said when Phillies Nation‘s Tim Kelly asked him what to do with Walker’s spot in the rotation. “We gotta discuss it,” he said later when asked the same question in different verbiage.
