Underwood Hurls Blanks at Royals at Riverview

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Victor Caratini (Cubs) ripped an opposite-field two-out triple into the rightfield corner, Dan Vogelbach (Cubs) followed with an RBI double down the RF line to knock-in Caratini, and Andrew Daniel (Angels) drove-in Vogelbach from 2nd with an RBI ground single to center to open the scoring in the bottom of the 1st inning, and Cubs top pitching prospect RHP Duane Underwood Jr hurled four innings of no run/no hit ball with five strikeouts and combined with four Cub relievers to toss a three hitter, as the Angels/Cubs co-op squad defeated the Royals 4-1 in AZ Advanced Instructional League action this afternoon on Field #1 at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.

What happens to the post-season schedule if this game is still going on Thursday?

the cubs have e.jokisch and d.beeler on their 40-man...that's just sad on it's own. j.turner should be 100% next year, though he's not really exciting even when healthy. he's most likely the closest quality arm that's MLB-ready in the minors, though. CARL edwards seems like he's a pen guy now because of control and stamina questions. AA/AAA is looking really thin aside from p.johnson and r.williams (assuming underwood isn't going to start in AA...which he may).

My take is Theo made the decision 4 years ago to center the rebuild around position players (e. g. Bryant, Schwarber, Soler, Baez etc.). They've drafted quantity in rounds 2--10, but not any TOR except maybe Underwood being close. To me, this why FA payroll is for Lester, Price, or whoever they can attract.

im still shocked they turned down a chance at a.nola for schwarb (who was not expected to stick at C and quickly move to LF for about 90%+ of the observing world) given the state of the system at the time...though, at the time it was hard to complain about getting one of the best college bats in the draft. schwarb's been good...i'll take it.

Fowler batting .204 in September, Schwarber hitting .179. Not sure I like Schwarber batting 2nd in the WC game if both remain ice cold for the rest of the season. Addy is hitting .203 in September as well.

He has a 1.002 OPS in September so yeah been on fire. Montero, Soler, Castro, Coghlan, La Stella all have had decent to good Septembers too.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
