A very nice 6 innings from Walker. Does he go another inning with83 pitches. I was going to post earlier that I was surprised and disappointed to see Kepler in the line-up and of course he has a big game. But I admit, I didn't complain in writing simply because I was interrupted before I could post. Still seems strange to me to trade for a good defensive OF without LHP/RHP splits and not start him virtually every game. With either-handed pitcher, I think he is better than Kepler.
