The Diamondbacks will be hopping on the team bus, and whizzing on the 101 and 10, for the drive to Goodyear for today\u2019s game. Probably a toss-up whether that or Camelback Ranch is the furthest ballpark from Salt River Fields, but either way, forty miles isn\u2019t bad. It\u2019s one way the Cactus League is definitely better than the Grapefruit League. Heck, even when Tucson was still in the mix, it was still less of a hike than some of the Florida parks. When the Astros play the Blue Jays, someone there is going to have to make the 217 mile trek between Dunedin and West Palm Beach, a solid four hours each way.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s today\u2019s D-backs line-up.<\/p>\n
Also potentially pitching: RHP Juan Morillo, RHP Juan Burgos, LHP Adonys Perez, RHP Logan Mercado, RHP Luke Albright and RHP Alec Baker<\/p>\n
Be nice if we could get both the offense and the defense working in the same game. We\u2019ve had one game where the pitching worked (the 3-2 win in the opener), one where the hitting was good (yesterday\u2019s 10-9 loss), and one which was not great in either department. Taylor Clarke starts for the D-backs. I was informed by kilnborn, that he is married to another Taylor Clarke. Researching this, I discovered they had twin sons, called\u2026 Sadly, not Taylor III and Taylor IV, but Bryce and Brody. Oh, well. We\u2019ll also get our first look at Morillo and Burgos, both contenders for spots at the back of the Arizona bullpen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Diamondbacks will be hopping on the team bus, and whizzing on the 101 and 10, for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2380],"tags":[75962,5,135,51,2565,538,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-589011","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-guardians","8":"tag-arizona-diamondbacks-discussion","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-cleveland","11":"tag-cleveland-guardians","12":"tag-clevelandguardians","13":"tag-guardians","14":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116121977742416693","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
