Stewart Stick Helps Cubs Whip A's at Fitch Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Ian Stewart singled, doubled, drove-in a run, and scored another, Jacob Rogers singled twice and scored twice, Garrett Schlecht hammered an RBI double and walked, and Justin Marra ripped an RBI single, walked, and scored a run, leading the Cubs to a 7-4 victory over the Athletics in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa, AZ.

Continuing his Extended Spring Training rehab assignment, Stewart played 3B for six innings and batted five times (once in each of the first five innings), going 2-5. He grounded out 3-U in his first AB, struck out swinging in his 2nd and 5th PA, roped a line-drive single to right in his 3rd AB, and crushed an RBI double into the RF corner his 4th time up. He didn't handle any chances at 3rd base, but he ran the bases at full tilt, showing no ill effects from the quad strain that sidelined him for most of MLB Spring Training.

The Defensive Play of the Game featured (once again) CF Rashad Crawford, who sprinted at full speed toward the infield and then made a diving catch in short center of what would otherwise have been a bloop single.

Slapped with a five-game suspension following an on-the-field incident in a game at Clearwater a couple of days ago, Daytona Cubs RF Jorge Soler is now at Fitch Park. He took BP on Field #1 with the recent-arrivals from the Dominican Academy (Acosta, Caro, K. Encarnacion, and F. Sanchez) during the EXST game. Whether he will remain in Mesa beyond the five-game FSL suspension remains to be seen...

CRUNCH: The Iowa Cubs have no lefties in their bullpen, so don't be surprised if Rosscup gets moved up sooner rather than later.

Also, LHRP Hunter Cervenka (acquired from Boston in the Marlon Byrd deal last season, but sidetracked during Minor League Camp with a forearm strain) was throwing 93-94 MPH yesterday at Talking Stick, so he should be about ready to leave Arizona and move up to AA Tennessee (especially if Rosscup gets promoted to Iowa).

A-rod's in trouble

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/13/sports/baseball/baseball-believes-ale…;

Investigators for Major League Baseball have uncovered what they believe is evidence that a representative of Alex Rodriguez purchased medical records from a person connected to a South Florida anti-aging clinic that is suspected of providing performance-enhancing drugs to a number of major leaguers, according to two people briefed on the matter.

"According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports, Carlos Quentin will be suspended eight games for charging the mound against Zack Greinke on Thursday night." what a crock of shi... richie sexson got 6 games for charging the mound and throwing his helmet at the pitcher...youk got 5 games charging porcello and throwing his helmet at him. maybe if quentin threw his helmet he would have gotten 2-3 less games suspended. hell, juan marichal got 8 games for going after roseboro with a f'n bat.

The day before yesterday I was pretty annoyed with Castro's at bat against Romo. Yesterday, it was almost like he was talking to himself while facing Romo again, saying, "oh no you don't - not again" as Romo led off trying to get him fishing again on the lower outside of the plate. I was listening to the SF guys because I enjoy them and I was surprised Krukow didn't mention the change in Castro's approach - they were more concerned with the seagulls - but that at bat was very heartening. Once Romo got behind in the count, Krukow thought Romo would have to challenge him and he did, and Castro hit it pretty good - luckily Pagan really hates that wall.

Fukikawa on 15 day disabled list? Those James Russell for closer rumors will really heat up now.

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate not only all your posts but how eager you are to respond to our questions.

    Is it just me or does it seem that official scorers are becoming less likely to call a misplay an error? 

     

    Guess I've hit my cranky old-man phase in life.  "I remember back in the day when an error was an error.  Official scorers have gone soft.  Now where did I put my readers?!!??"

     

    Sidenote, maybe Bellinger should be a little more careful against the Astros.  That was the series last year that a play at wall put him on the IL.

    i hated the almonte pickup, but he's 9-10 out of 12 for good outings, following a great spring.  hope he can keep it up.

    i already miss cooper, but yeah...the thin OF roster backup the team seems to want to carry probably got wisdom preference over cooper.  i could live without seeing wisdom at 3rd unless it's a blowout, though.
