I'm wondering if Walker intervened when he realized Chuckles was actually going to use Thorton for the 10th and convinced him that Romano would be fine to go back out there. That conversation Pete had with Romano seems to make me think he did.
I smell a mutiny brewing with this and Schneider's ejection the other day. C'mon Shatkins, enough with this analytically driven moronic button pusher you hired as manager.
