00:00Walker Buehler started out with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

00:02Whoa, looks like we have our next Clayton Kershaw.

00:04This guy's going to be here for 15 years and dominate.

00:06Arm injuries, you know, availability in check.

00:09Goes to Boston, starts pitching okay, then blows up, gets cut.

00:12The Philadelphia Phillies actually signed Walker Buehler because why?

00:15They need a little bit of help and some depth in the rotation for the month of September.

00:18He heads to the Phillies with a 545 ERA.

00:22This isn't the Walker Buehler that we think you're getting there from the Los Angeles Dodgers days,

00:26but maybe he can help with a couple extra innings to save some of those arms before the playoffs begin, Joe.

00:31Well, to me, that's what this is all about, Donnie, right?

00:33It's about being able to eat up some innings in the final three and a half weeks of the regular season here, get to use them.

00:42I'm kind of shocked that the Red Sox just let them walk away like they did

00:47because it's not like the Red Sox aren't in a battle for a postseason berth.

00:50And, yeah, they could absolutely use him as a buffer to maybe not throw as many innings for Crochet or some of these other guys.

01:00You know, I'm shocked they let them walk because he's going to do exactly for the Phillies what he could have done for the Red Sox.
