Grand Slam of #Darts Taylor v Baxter at the 2nd break

Taylor wins 9 legs before Baxter wins one, so we go to the break and wait to see how long Baxter must endure this agony. I'm thinking that if this were boxing the ref would have stopped the match by now as Baxter hardly seems able to fight back against the onslaught that is Phil "the Power" Taylor.

Grand Slam of #Darts Taylor v Baxter

Phil leads Baxter 5-0 off of a very strong start. Baxter seems to not know what hit him, and missed chances at a double to win a leg.
