For whatever reason, his teammates love to make fun of Logan Gilbert, whether it be dunking on his mustache, suggesting him as a lookalike (“Doggelganger”) for an Afghan Hound during Bark in the Park Nights, or various other japes—if a joke needs a butt, more often than not it’s Logan goodnaturedly playing the part. Part of it is definitely his brotherly relationship with Cal Raleigh, who leads the gentle teasing. Maybe it’s just that at 6’6” Gilbert is especially susceptible to catching some strays. But it’s also a way to keep the notoriously cerebral, serious Gilbert light—on every day, of course, except his start day, when amiable Logan disappears and Walter, Logan’s snarling alter ego, makes his presence known.
