**Corbin Carroll**: a great combination of Speed & Power

Corbin Carroll hit his 44th career triple last night. To those not familiar with Carroll, you might say "Wow, that's a lot of triples for a 25-year-old player, but can he hit the long ball? Well, Carroll also hit his 83rd career homer last night. If Corbin played for the Mets or Dodgers or Yankees, he would be known as the greatest combination of speed and power since "fill-in-the-blanks". He's really fun to watch and root for.

    Good to see the Cornball Carbuncle Fan Club is back for another season. ;)

    Elwhatever: I take it that you don't like my man Corbin. Who do you root for?

    Oh, I like your guy. Especially when he makes the Dodgers miserable. That's good. But, when he comes to Wrigley, I want him to be lethargic and disinterested. :)

    OK, now I understand where you're coming from. BTW, you and I have one common wish -- let's make the Dodgers miserable this year! Their flashy payroll is not good for baseball.

    PHOENIX -- — Zac Gallen outdueled two-time AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, Corbin Carroll homered and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Detroit Tigers 1-0 on Wednesday to sweep the three-game series.

    Carroll homered to left-center in the first to give the D-backs a 1-0 lead. It was just the sixth homer the left-handed Skubal had ever allowed to a left-handed hitter.

    Ma man Corbin is really fun to watch and root for.

    2 Doubles and a Triple for my man today in the Diamondbacks win -- yep, kickin' butt.

    Corbin Carroll hits grand slam in 8th in the Diamondbacks' 6-2 victory over the Blue Jays

    Do any of you collect his cards? Seems destined for the HoF.
