That would have been a lot funnier if he didnt hit 2 home runs against us last night.

 

OK it's still pretty funny.

McCarver is what makes the clip.

Wind blowing out to right. Pretty strong wind. Balls to center and right will be helped. Balls to left will be held up by the wind. Not liking Taillon’s chances today. 
 

Update: right after posting the above the wind seemed to shift. Now looks like it is blowing in everywhere. Guess when the dbacks hit the ball hard in the air we can hope the wind is coming in at that time.

4 lefties in the DBacks lineup today (2 of them are switch hitters).  1 of them hits worse against righties (Marte - but still .825 OPS vs RHP), the other 3 hit much better.

Taillon of course has an .883 OPS allowed to lefties and .698 against righties

Dusty: "Teams got the book on Jamison."

I think 10 runs and they can pull off a win today

Sadly, it might take that. Gallen hasn’t been that good his last 2. And he isn’t as good as he was last year. Let’s hope his slump continues. Going to be a tough one to get today. But they can do it. They have been up to all challenges so far this year.

Taillon Over 2.5 runs at +100 is free money

Is that one of those entry level betting offers that sets the over/under so low that it guarantees you a freebie win?

Gotta tighten them belt buckles and find a way to win today, Taillon gotta be on and the bats gotta put a few hits together..

 

Let Go

[Andy]

Ah yes, Taillon having problems with the home run ball, so naturally the move is to walk the leadoff guy.

In his defense, ball 4 was in the zone

What a terrible throw from Amaya

[Irrelevant Dude]

Amaya's throwing arm is going to be a problem.

[Michael Busch Light]

Taillon is just an adventure every time he goes out there.  

[chibears55]

Looks like they'll be down early in this one, hopefully by no more then the 1

Something they'll likely be working on with him over the winter

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ok Taillon. That'll do 

[Andy]

Ump pays Taillon back with that last strike 3 call. Nice work.

Well dang, 3 Ks in a row, we'll take that

[mul21]

That was a hell of a pick by the DBacks 1B.
