Keeping this short today, since it’s a Sunday morning, and I have other things to do. Soft, pillowy things. After sweeping the Reds, the D-backs have definitely found the Orioles to be a tougher proposition. Though to their credit both the previous games have been very competitive, and you don’t have to squint very hard to see a way the D-backs could have prevailed. They’ll turn t Zac Gallen in the series finale to finish off the road-trip. A win would mean going 4-2 overall, and you can’t complain about that. Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers. And if you’re not a mother, perhaps you can glom onto a free lunch from your kinds, because that’s what I’ll be doing!
