Taijuan Walker for Cy Young? | Here’s The Thing with Mitch Williams | A2D Radio

On today’s episode of “Here's The Thing,” filling in for Thomas Arnone, Michael Chromiak and former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Mitch Williams kick things off with their thoughts on whether Taijuan Walker is a legit Cy Young candidate or not. So far this season in Walker’s 24 starts he has a 4.03 era, 106 K’s, 1.28 WHIP, and 131.2 innings pitched. While not having a great start against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday, Walker is tied for the most wins in the National League with a record of 13-5. Rumors have begun to circulate that Rob Thomson is saying Walker might miss his next start due to workload management. The Phillies wrap things up at home with a 6-4 record. They kicked off the week with a series win over the Washington Nationals, including an emotional and historic Wednesday when Michael Lorenzen threw his first-ever No-Hitter and Westin Wilson homered at his first at-bat. They would not be so lucky over the weekend, however, losing the series to the Minnesota Twins. Yet, in the wake of defeat, Trea Turner’s hitting streak was extended to 9, while Nick Castellanos saw his 13-game hit streak come to an end Sunday. JT Realmuto has also shown to be getting on track this past week. This week it’s a quick trip to Canada for a 2 game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, a rare 2 days off and then the Washington Nationals look for revenge but this time on their home turf inside our Nation’s Capital. How will the extended time off fare for this MLB club?
