Since it's February at DFF, I'm surprised the wind died down this afternoon. It's very calm out there.

Ball should carry well in the crisp, dry air....to the warning track.

Mayes did well in 1st inning.

Marlow didn't do very well going after 1-0 high pitch, but others did well. Very patient ...Gotta go deep in the count and make pitchers work...Something we haven't done well the last several years. So far batters looking good. Lets see what McCann has after winning the game for us in Houston ??
