BRADENTON, Fla. – Jameson Taillon found the three simulated games he pitched in this spring to be helpful. The Pirates’ opening day starter was able to work on various pitches while facing some of his teammates at Pirate City. Pitching in a controlled environment, he was also able to face various game-type situations.
