What a moron. I don't give a flying flick if you're the greatest pitching coach in the league, you have to be really stupid to get behind the wheel when intoxicated.

Not condoning ofcourse but trying to get answers about this....
Not sure of full details but I thought this was interesting. Am I missing something? Maybe I haven't read enough.

Greg Bird continues to impress

 

[habamillions]

Greg bird has been pretty good so far in camp. Has patience at the plate too

Joey Gallo’s 703 FT home to put the Yankees ahead is the longest in MLB History, per Stotcast.

Ugh why couldn’t have it been Montoyo instead of Walker.

I feel like a suspension is coming because he probably wouldn’t be with the team today if a firing was coming. But in today’s society a firing wouldn’t shock me, and would be deserved.

 

[Canada4Gold]

I think they would be able to trade him for something, for sure, but if the options were to DFA him or have Kirk as the backup catcher in AAA, I would DFA him in a heartbeat.

I read with the 26 man rosters the max number of pitchers is 13. If that’s the case your bench has to be 4. Except McGuire they only really have 2 bench guys. Tapia, 1 of Espinal/Biggio, and 1 of Kirk/Jansen but 1 of those 3 will be DH or filling in while someone else DH’s. if Kirk is going to be DHing a lot it makes sense to keep McGuire around until Moreno is ready Rather than finding 2 more guys for the bench.

Walker will be able to enter Canada. He is an employee of a multi million dollar company owned by a multi billion dollar company. And due to the nature of their business they have multiple immigration lawyers on retainer.
And right or wrong if they didn’t release Reese after what he got caught doing during spring training a few years ago I doubt they fire Walker.

This isn’t a comment on what I think should happen as much as what I think will happen and they aren’t always the same thing.

 

[KingAlfie11]

But why put yourself and the organization in that situation? It's so selfish, there's no excuse to drive while being intoxicated, at his age he should know better!

I feel like i read before that Pete was a dual citizen, but I. May be thinking of someone else

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Some perspective from former Jay Snider

was a very interesting read

 

[Bjindaho]

Honest question: Would Rogers choose Pete Walker over MADD Canada, a major sponsor which aligns with their brand identity?

Oh my.

The guy should be gone. I have zero sympathy or understanding for anyone who gets behind the wheel after drinking. Anyone who has excuses for the guy has never lost somebody to drunk driving. It is very real and is very serious. Again, He should be gone and I hope they receive pressure from sponsors.

I think I have to agree here. He was fortunate to have not involved another person in this incident, but it shouldn’t make it any different. It’s inexcusable

[mrJT]

Difficult cuz i love what Pete's done with our Pitchers over the Years, but i think he'll be let go.

 

[trellaine201]

Agreed. Pretty sure he will be gone.

 

[TMLeafer]

What a moronic thing to do.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

No idea but I’m not gonna burn him at the cross

if not first time, maybe a sign he needs help more than anything

Totally agree

Some prospect notes in here including

—I always have a few regrets about my yearly top 50 prospects list in spring training when guys show up throwing harder than expected or made some winter adjustment that nobody really knew about. Connor Cooke, a 10th-round pick last summer out of Louisiana-Lafayette, is that guy this year. The 6-foot-1, 203-pound right-hander is touching 98 mph this spring and the fastball data has everyone excited to see him in game action after he threw just five innings in his pro debut, likely at Low-A Dunedin. There’s a chance he’s one of the more interesting starting pitching prospects in the system by this time next year if things go like some think they could.

People facing consequences for crimes is now "cancel culture"?

Trying to keep up with you reactionaries who are obsessed with the cancel culture boogeyman

Guilty or not, he does need to be fired
